SANTA FE (AP) — House Democrats retained their top leadership on Saturday and stuck with Ben Lujan of Santa Fe as their nominee to become speaker of the House. Lujan overcame a challenge from Joseph Cervantes of Las Cruces, but no votes were announced for the leadership race. The 37-member Democratic caucus selected their leadership team during a closed-door meeting in the Capitol. The speakership won’t

become final until January when the Legislature convenes and all 70 members cast votes on the top leadership position. Besides Lujan, Democrats voted to keep W. Ken Martinez of Grants as majority floor leader and Sheryl Williams Stapleton of Albuquerque as majority whip. Patricia Lundstrom of Gallup was selected caucus chairwoman in a three-way race. She replaces John Heaton of Carlsbad, who was defeated in the general

election. Lujan said after the party meeting that Democrats were united heading into next year’s legislative session “As far as I could see today we, like a family, expressed some concerns. But at the end of the day ... to me it seemed like a family getting together and ironing things out,” said Lujan. Martinez had no challenger. Stapleton defeated

A local business and community leader and stalwart New Mexico Military Institute alumnus, John F. Russell II, 62, died unexpectedly in his Roswell office Friday night. At the time of his death, Russell was owner of the Robert V. Ely Insurance agency, vice president of the NMMI Board of Regents, and a member of numerous civic and service organizations.

The excitement surrounding Christmas is not an equal-opportunity employer, at least not for many young people in foster care. This year, Peak Treatment Foster Care is trying to change that.

But Peak’s resources are limited and parents don’t receive allowances for necessities like clothing, let alone Christmas presents. “They do a lot out of their own pockets,” she adds.

President tells GOP not to hold up Russia arms treaty

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama took aim Saturday at Republican senators standing in the way of a nuclear ar ms reduction pact with Russia, saying they were abandoning Ronald Reagan’s lesson of nuclear diplomacy: “Trust but verify.” The Senate’s GOP leader accused his Democratic counterparts of wasting Congress’ lame-duck session on issues from gays in

the military to environment regulations. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., didn’t mention Obama’s push to ratify the new STAR T weapons treaty with Russia, but said extending expiring Bushera tax cuts needed to be the top priority. Obama, speaking from a NATO summit in Portugal, used his weekly radio and Internet address to focus on international affairs at a time of increased politi-

cal gridlock at home as the GOP prepares to take control of the House in the new Congress next year. Describing his nuclear ef forts as part of a fiveadministration continuum, Obama said the treaty to cut the permitted number of U.S. and Russian longrange nuclear warheads by a third was “fundamental to America’s national security.” The president went to great length listing the

prominent Republicans from previous administrations who back the deal, including for mer secretaries of state Colin Powell, George Shultz, Jim Baker and Henry Kissinger. He cited GOP Sen. Dick Lugar’s support, but suggested that other Republican senators were playing politics with national security. “Some make no argument against the treaty — they just ask for more

Eddy County gives cars to other agencies A2 Sunday, November 21, 2010

CARLSBAD (AP) — Eddy County officials were planning to place several wellused law enforcement vehicles on the auction block. It turns out they found other uses for the highmileage vehicles. Two will go to the Southeastern New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy in Hobbs to be used for training, and two will be donated to the village of Magdalena near Socorro. Chief Deputy Sheriff Kent Waller says the county purchased new 4-wheel-drive vehicles last year but the older ones can meet Magdalena’s needs. Magdalena Marshal Larry Cearley says the vehicles are good for patrolling mountainous areas. County commissioners approved the transfers last week.

Exec lawsuit CLOVIS (AP) — The Eastern Plains Council of Governments and its executive director have been sued by the for mer leader of the group for wrongful discharge. Clovis resident Nick Brady filed the civil suit in 9th Judicial District Court on Nov. 12. Brady’s suit accused the municipal and county gover nment association of forcing him to resign as executive director in 2009 without cause and in violation of his contract. It also accuses board member Richard Arguello of orchestrating the resignation so he could assume the post.

GENERAL

The suit accuses Arguello of admitting in a May 22 Clovis News Journal story that he decided to fire Brady and never sought approval from the executive committee or board. Efforts by the News Journal to contact Arguello and Brady’s lawyer were not successful.

Rural electric cooperatives HOBBS (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is giving a $38.55 million loan guarantee to the Lea County Electric Cooperative. Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico says that will finance construction of a 42.2 megawatt natural gas-fired electricity production plant and related transmission facilities. The plant is expected to be in operation by June 2012. It will be located next to an existing Lea County Electric Cooperative plant east of Lovington on U.S. 82. In addition, T ri-State Generation and Transmission Association Inc. has been approved for a $173.68 million loan guarantee to upgrade and modify a generation system and improve environmental controls.

Mexico’s main teachers union is suing a Texas investment firm, saying its connections with convicted Wall Street swindler Bernie Madoff led to $25 million in losses from state investments and a teachers pension fund. The National Education Association of New Mexico accuses Austin Capital Management of failing to exercise due diligence. Attorney Geoffrey Ritts, representing Austin Capital’s Ohio-based parent company, KeyCorp, declined comment. The lawsuit says Austin Capital began investing in a hedge fund managed by Madof f in 1997, and by 2008, 7.5 percent of a main fund was invested with him. After Madoff’s arrest in December 2008, the complaint says Austin Capital learned it had lost about $186 million — including $10 million from the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board and $15 million from the State Investment Council.

Hopi reservation PHOENIX (AP) — Two Polacca men have been indicted in connection with a killing last month on the Hopi reservation. A federal grand jury in Phoenix returned a onecount indictment this week against 30-year -old Gene Austin and 22-year -old Calvin Masaquaptewa for second-degree murder. Prosecutors say the two men are charged in the killing of an adult man on the reservation on Oct. 14. Details were not immediately available Friday. Austin and Masaquaptewa remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. They are scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in federal court in Phoenix.

The driver, a 36-year-old Mexican national, was arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. He faces federal charges that include importation of a controlled substance and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.

Super suspended LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — The Las Vegas City Schools board has placed Superintendent Rick Romero on leave for seven days because of an unspecified violation of the district’s computer-use policy. The board acted Tuesday. Chair man Ramon Montano says a complaint about the violation came from a school employee about two weeks ago. Romero will be out through Nov. 30 because of suspension and vacation days. Associate Superintendent LeeEtte Quintana will manage the district in Romero’s absence. Montano declined to disclose what the violation involved, saying it was a personnel issue. He says the board had independent investigators examine the matter and that board members received advice from school district’s attorneys.

Teen-drinking case FARMINGTON (AP) — A Farmington school teacher accused of providing alcohol to teens at his daughter’s birthday party has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.

Edward Fincher’s wife and fellow teacher, Orla Fincher, had her case delayed for two weeks on Thursday. The couple are charged with three felony counts of giving alcoholic beverages to minors at a party at their home on Sept. 11. Police reports say a girl who attended the party told of ficers Edward Fincher was collecting car keys from arriving teenagers so they could not drive after drinking. A keg of beer and hard liquor was allegedly served at the party. School officials placed the couple on paid leave shortly after the incident. Farmington Superintendent Janel Ryan declined to comment to the Farmington Daily T imes on their work status on Thursday. . Teen hunter ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A 16-year-old Albuquerque boy accused of killing his father during a hunting trip outside Silver City told investigators he debated whether to shoot before pulling the trigger, police reports show. Documents obtained by The Albuquerque Journal show the teen told Grant County Sheriff’s deputies that he and his father were on a hillside about 30 miles east of Silver City on Nov. 14 when his father turned his back. The boy told deputies he began having “a bad thought” and pointed his rifle at his dad. Then he fired. The boy drove away in the family vehicle before stopping at a restaurant along Highway 35 and calling his mother, the report said. The restaurant owner called deputies.

Scalia loves his gadgets, but not cameras in court WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Antonin Scalia seems solidly old-fashioned. He’s devoted to the Constitution’s original meaning, prefers the Roman Catholic Mass in Latin and opposes TV cameras in the Supreme Court. But the 74-year -old Scalia wants it known that he owns an iPod and an iPad and does so much work on his computer that he “can hardly write in longhand anymore.” Scalia revealed his embrace of modern technology at a Thursday dinner of the conservative Federalist Society, which he helped launch nearly 30 years ago to combat perceived liberal bias on the nation’s law school faculties. The Supreme Court justice was not so much the after -dinner speaker as the entertainment, joining CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford for an hourlong conversation in front of 1,400 adoring conserva-

tives. Scalia’s iPod is filled with classical and operatic tunes, music he put there himself. The iPad has been useful for storing the voluminous legal briefs that are the guts of every high court case. Scalia said he no longer has to — and here he employed the precise legal term — “schlep the briefs around.” Said the longest-serving justice: “It’s a brave new world.” —— Yet that great invention of the 20th century, television, still has no place on Scalia’s Supreme Court. He offered several rationales for excluding cameras from the court’s argument sessions, which the C-SPAN cable network has of fered to air gavel to gavel. Almost all the court’s cases are dull, he said, asserting that there would not be widespread interest in watching arguments about pensions, bankrupt-

cy or railroad taxes. But in the court’s heated cases about abortion, school prayer, gay rights and other high-profile topics, he said interest would be so great that broadcasters would take snippets from the arguments and air them out of context. Scalia said he thinks the court is well served by its aloofness relative to Congress and the president. “Familiarity breeds contempt,” he said. “The fact that the court is somewhat removed is a good thing.” On a practical level, he said he expects congressional pressure to allow cameras to diminish with the departure of Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who lost his Democratic primary bid for reelection this year. Specter was the “major stimulator” for legislation to open up the court to cameras, Scalia said. ——— Not that Scalia wouldn’t be good on television. His biting wit and good comic

timing are made for the medium. Those qualities are often on display in the courtroom, for those able to watch Supreme Court arguments in person. In his opinions, Scalia is a clear and precise writer who doesn’t mince words or spare his ideological allies when he disagrees with their approach or outcome. He might once have had visions of being chief justice, but now acknowledges that serving as chief wouldn’t be as AP Photo much fun.

Utah Supreme Court to decide polygamist extradition appeal

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Supreme Court will consider a petition to block polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs’ extradition to Texas to face charges of bigamy and sexual assault. Jeffs, 54, is the ecclesiastical head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In court papers, defense attorneys argue that sending Jeffs to Texas before a long-running criminal case is resolved denies him the right to a speedy trial. They

Nicole Vargas, the founder and operator of Roswell’s Adopt-a-Soldier program, is lending her expertise in attracting goods to Villegas, Peak and the children. “Christmas is all about kids,” she says, “especially these kids that are kind of having a bad time.” “This is going to pull anyone’s heart,” she added.

Martinez is ready for action as governor A4 Sunday, November 21, 2010

SANTA FE — A hearty thanks to Gov.-Elect Susana Martinez for assuring that my job will remain easy and fun. For 16 years, with Gary Johnson and Bill Richardson as governors, this job has been a joy. I woke up every morning knowing they would give me something to write about that day. Former Gov. Bruce King’s motto was “Let’s keep it between the fence posts.” Not much to write about there. Martinez is not easing into her office, she is diving head first. With the current economic and political situations, she doesn’t have much choice. But she’s not being timid about it. So let’s look at some of the big items that are confronting her already. We’re at the point where band-aids and across-the-board cuts are worn out. Tough decisions now have to be made on what is too important to cut any more and what may have to be

afford a Southwest Airlines ticket to Amarillo, we’re building a launch pad for millionaires. Spaceport America does have possibilities for the future however. Not only will millionaires and their families be attracted to the area but space industries too. This has been a Las Cruces project from beginning 20 years ago, which may give Martinez a little more enthusiasm about the project. She wants to see more private investment in the spaceport. Good idea but she needs to assure that the commitment of Sir Richard Branson and his Virgin Galactic remains assured. Any transportation project involves some public investment. Presumably the state jet is a goner. The plane was built for long hauls and we’ll hope Martinez doesn’t leave the state as often as Big Bill. It was too much of a cam-

paign issue not to dump the jet. Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico have long lobbied for a dental school to stand beside its medical school and law school. It would be prestigious and would help students and rural areas. But now is not the time for spending big bucks to build prestige. Several health organizations recently have announced initiatives to extend dental coverage into rural areas of our state. This will be a non-starter. And if we ever can afford it, how about putting it somewhere else in the state? Martinez wants to take a close look at the incentives we offer the film industry. A 25 percent rebate on costs incurred in the state is big but it appears the evidence is going to show that we should either stay where we are or get out of the business altogether. New Mexico is one of 11 states

offering a 25 percent rebate. Eight other states offer a 30 percent or better incentive. We have some other advantages, such as being close to Hollywood, where the deals still are done, and having great locations. But dropping our fiscal incentives appears to take us out of the picture. A new governor plus a shift of 16 votes in the state House could mean another look at medicinal marijuana. Martinez’s law enforcement background plus that of some of her advisers, could mean that will be a big issue again. And what about the death penalty that was repealed two years ago? That could be on the chopping block. And what about collective bargaining for public employees? Abortions could enter the discussion again too.

City lawsuit

While agreeing to a financial settlement is not the same as admitting guilt, it’s not a step a municipality should take lightly when it comes to lawsuits. Last week, Roswell city of ficials announced an agreement involving an August 2008 lawsuit against the city and the Roswell Police Department. The City Council unanimously approved spending $350,000 for the settlement. An additional $900,000 is being paid by the city’s insurance carrier. The lawsuit stems from the March 2008 death of Javier Aguilar, who died in police custody following a physical altercation with officers. The cause of death is a matter of dispute between city officials and Aguilar’s family. The lawsuit asserted Aguilar suffocated due to the position he was placed in by police after being restrained. City officials attributed the death to cardiac arrest. Mayor Del Jurney made a point last week of saying the settlement is “not an indictment of our officers or our police department.” We commend the mayor for his statement, but we also know that some in the law enforcement community are not happy about the outcome of the lawsuit. Police and other emergency personnel risk their lives to protect our community. They deserve the full support of the people they help. So when the city settles a lawsuit rather than taking the case to court, it’s at least an implied black mark against the reputation of the officers involved. The indignation of some emergency personnel is further compounded in this case by the fact that a police investigation into the incident found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the officers. As we lack many of the details presented to the City Council, we can’t judge whether settling this particular case was the right move for the city. We trust that councilors had compelling reasons to approve the settlement. We would, however, like to point out that when it comes to deciding whether to settle a lawsuit, there is more to consider than the financial equation of any given case. If a city employee is guilty of wrongdoing, settling a lawsuit is probably the most expedient and cost effective solution. However, if an employee and/or the city is the target of a frivolous lawsuit, it should be fought every time. Agreeing to a settlement to save on legal costs is a slight against the employee’s reputation and if done frequently can encourage more lawsuits down the road. People will be more likely to sue the city if they believe they can get some easy money. Our city’s police force needs to know it has the confidence and support of the City Council, and we’re certain it does. While some officers may not be pleased by the outcome of this particular case, they should be assured their dedication is appreciated not only by city management, but by those they protect and serve. DEAR DR. GOTT: My 16year -old granddaughter has had a lifetime of not being able to sleep at night. This has been the case since birth. I might add that because of her parents’ jobs, they encouraged “sleeping in.” She now lives with me, and I have allowed her to take Benadryl at night so she can get a decent night’s sleep to be alert in school. She is an excellent student and has no other health problems. This works very well; however, I am worried about the side effects over time. Can you advise me on this? DEAR READER: I know several people who have flipflopped their days and nights because of job commitments and other reasons. They can

A Norman Rockwell family Thanksgiving Roswell Daily Record

As we gather together with family to celebrate Thanksgiving later this week, I think of the world our parents, our grandparents and our great-grandparents grew up in. It was a time when a family get-together meant only driving across town. Now families travel across the country to share Thanksgiving together. As I think of Thanksgiving this year, I think of the Nor man Rockwell picture of the grandpa leaning over the dinner table while grandma is lowering the platter with the large perfectly roasted turkey to the table. All the hungry family members are smiling, anticipating their home cooked turkey dinner. The artwork is called “Freedom from Want.” There is nothing that brings back American nostalgia as does the artwork of Nor man Rockwell. Mr. Rockwell started his career as an illustrator in 1910, the year Mark Twain died. He began his association with the Saturday Evening Post in 1916. There were still horse-drawn carriages on many American streets. As America grew and changed, Norman Rockwell was right there with her. His artwork spans the ’20s, the ’30s, the ’40s, the ’50s, and even stretch-

es into the ’60s. I have a 12-inch by 15-inch hardback oversized book filled with 322 Rockwell covers. Looking through the pages of this book, I walk through a simpler time in our country. A time when kids had fun outdoors. A time when life was not so complicated. A time when a stranger was merely a friend you hadn’t gotten to know yet. Comparing Rockwell’s world with our world today, I wonder whether or not our world is moving in the right or wrong direction. We are the first people to live in the world that we live in today. No one has ever lived who has faced the issues that we face today. In this complex “iworld” of satellites and cell phones, of terr orists and oil spills, of teen suicides and unwanted pr egnancies, it is good that the Thanksgiving holiday has survived. Once a year we have the

opportunity to gather together with those we love and to feast on good cookin’ and to be thankful for what we have. Thanksgiving is a time to stop and be grateful for what we have each been blessed with. It is a time to have an attitude of gratitude. We don’t have to look very far to see what each of us have been blessed with. One half of those living on our planet live off of less than a couple dollars a day. We spend two to thr ee times that much on a cup of coffee or two scoops of ice cream and we don’t think twice. We turn a metal handle and can take a hot shower while every 21 seconds a child somewher e in the world is dying because of a lack of fresh water. We hug our children and decorate their bedrooms while 143 million in the world are children without families due to war and the AIDS crisis. Many families have no homes, no blankets, no source of income.

part, this is because a sleep aid might control nausea or vomiting that could reflect an underlying medical problem that hasn’t been addressed. I don’t see any problems with your granddaughter taking Benadryl to bring her circadian rhythm back into line, but I do believe she should do it under the guidance of her physician, who can monitor her if peculiar symptoms appear. Alter natives include melatonin, valerian, kava,

yoga and tai chi. She should avoid all caffeine, including soda, cocoa and chocolate, from late afternoon on. She should also avoid sugar, especially that found in candy and soft drinks. Foods such as dark leafy green vegetables, whole grains, cashews and legumes might help since they are high in magnesium and are a natural sedative.

because of what you don’t have, either way you have the same things. How you look at your world is merely the attitude you choose. Thanksgiving is a state of mind. It is appreciating all that you have, from family members to a roof over your head, from food to eat to a car that runs. It is appreciating a country that allows us the freedoms that we have from our religious beliefs to selecting our leaders. It is being grateful for those who have gone ahead of us and paid the price and those who currently chose to put themselves in harms way so we can live in the greatest nation that has ever existed. Thanksgiving to me is to looking ahead to the day that each one of us will stand in front of God at the end of our years and to be able to thank Him for all He has blessed us with in the days we have had. Each of us has been so richly blessed. We don’t need to look far to find these blessings. My challenge, hope and prayer for you today is for you to have a good ol’ fashioned Thanksgiving … one of them “Nor man Rockwell” kind. Don’t take any of your Thanksgiving experience for granted.

they did what they did. But you know, the most rewarding part of the celebration of our veterans was what I witnessed through the youth of our city. In the ’60s and the ’70s, we did not properly celebrate our veterans … and we can only ask forgiveness. In 2010, it was a different story. I started Veterans Day at the Roswell Job Corps at the invitation of John Merchant, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. My role was to recognize the veterans who currently serve the program as staff, instructors and positive mentors. What set the stage for a meaningful event was the enthusiasm and patriotism of the students. They listened intently to the speakers, cheered the veterans as each was introduced and presented an American flag, which was ceremoniously carried in and properly folded, to one of the veterans in attendance. It was a touching moment and one that will not soon be forgotten. I was proud of our veterans, and I was proud of the gratitude of these young adults. That afternoon, I attended one of the most amazing tributes to our veterans. The student body at Goddard High School brought down the house. From the moment each veteran arrived on campus, the celebration began. Students lined the entryway, cheering the arrival of the men and women who were to be honored. They hosted a reception of goodies and fellowship in the Little Theater, and then escorted each veteran into the gymnasium where the stands were packed and the flags were flying. The choir sang, video presentations were shown overhead and salutes were given to each branch of the military. It was easy to see, through the eyes of those who have served us well, that the recognition of their service was emotionally received. This was a purpose driven event … and there is no doubt that it served its purpose. I was

proud of our veterans and I was proud of the appreciation shown by our high school students. A week ago Saturday, I was honored to participate in the Veterans Day parade. Again, it was a beautiful day and a heartwarming celebration for our veterans. Fellowship and music on the Courthouse lawn in early November makes for a perfect setting. Thank you Rita! Marching bands from RHS and GHS provided the cadence while the cadets from Youth ChalleNGe led the way with an outstretched version of “Old Glory.” This was a special event, and as we headed north on Main Street, I was pleased to see pockets of parade attendees along the way. I’ve talked about perspective, and I’ve talked about reality. Now, allow me to share with you when it finally hit. As I was sitting in the car, waving my flag and acknowledging those along the route, I was overwhelmed by what I saw. Parents were teaching their children, by example, the proper way to bring honor to our veterans. From infants to school age, and from teenager to young adult, there was pride in the manner in which they displayed the Red, White and Blue. Right there on the curbs of our very own Main Street … it was a Kodak moment! As mayor of this All American City, I was touched and I was humbled. And that is when I knew, that the reality of who we are as a nation, is alive and well. That our children are learning, through the perspective of their parents, that we can and should be proud of the men and women who have secured our freedoms and liberties. Our children are better understanding that this nation, a nation founded under the principles of faith, hope and charity … a nation which opens its arms to the huddled masses … a nation that deserves the best that we can give her … is worth fighting for. God Bless those men and women, during this time of thanksgiving, for serving us so faithfully. We must never again tarnish their sacrifice. Happy Thanksgiving! Del

Technology helps find heart trouble before it starts CLARENCE E. PEARSON, MD, FACC, FACP EASTERN NEW MEXICO MEDICAL CENTER

Heart attacks and heart disease claim countless lives in Roswell, and the surrounding area each year. In fact, more than 1 million Americans will have a heart attack this year, and heart disease is still the leading cause of death in the United States. Nearly 81 million Americans have some form of heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. Heart disease covers a broad range of heart conditions, including heart attacks, high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure. Some people are born with conditions that can lead to heart disease at a young age, such as type 1 diabetes. Other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoking can make arthrosclerosis develop later in life and can lead to the debilitating diseases as described above. There are many ways to protect ourselves against heart disease. Some of these lifestyle changes would be to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, maintain your proper weight, smoking cessation and watching your cholesterol. Also, if you have problems such as elevated cholesterol or hypertension, it is important to take your medication to prevent worsening of your condition. Years ago, the first warning sign of a heart attack was chest pain. Now, cardiologists can tell us much more about the health of our hearts simply by doing noninvasive tests, discussing our lifestyle or doing a thorough physical examination. The good news is that many heart problems can be prevented or corrected with proper treatment, lifestyle changes or medication. Eastern New Mexico Medical Center offers the following cardiac services.

Preventive cardiology: This is the practice of preventing you from having your first heart attack or stroke — or additional ones. This is probably the most important part of our cardiovascular clinic practice. We can prevent the first heart attack or stroke through lifestyle changes and medication. On the other hand, if you are on medication that is not going to do you any good, then we would quickly get rid of that and put you on the correct medication. Clearly, you do not want to have that first heart attack or stroke, particularly at an early age. This is the importance of preventive cardiology. Nuclear imaging: Nuclear imaging helps physicians diagnose heart conditions. The nuclear technology is paired with stress testing and allows cardiologists to measure blood flow and determine if there is any narrowing or stenosis in any of the arterial vessels around the heart. Not everybody with narrowing of the coronary arteries needs to have a balloon, stent, or bypass surgery. Generally, to be considered “significant,” a blockage has to be at least 70 percent narrowed. Many people can be treated medically and live a long and productive life without any type of procedure. Cardiac Catheterization — Angiography: The cardiac catheterization laboratory is solely dedicated to diagnostic tests to help pinpoint the location and status of heart

It’s turkey safety time again! It’s Thanksgiving! In just a few days, this wonder ful holiday will be here. Certainly Thanksgiving would not be the same without turkeys but very few people take the time to learn the proper way to handle them. Any poultry needs special attention when it’s being handled. Now, let me assure you that, at this point, my wife is bending over with laughter at the very thought that I am the one suggesting anything at all about turkeys, poultry and food in general! However, with availability of the internet and several good safety sources, I am comfortable in passing on safety information which could be important to the safety of our families. Who knows, I might learn something too. So, here goes. In the refrigerator The safest way is to thaw the turkey in its original, unopened wrap on a tray placed breast up in the bottom section of the refrigerator. You should allow about 24 hours of defrost time for every 5 pounds of turkey. For example, a 20 pound turkey will take four to five days to thaw. Do not thaw on the counter. Thawing at room temperature increases the risk of bacteria growth. At room temperature, bacte-

ria on the turkey can grow rapidly when the outside portion of the bird begins to thaw. These bacteria can multiply to dangerously high levels and can produce toxins which cooking may not destroy. In cold water Thawing in cold water is safe also. Submerge the bird in its wrapper in a deep sink of cold water and change the water every 30 minutes to keep it cold. Allow 30 minutes per pound to defrost a turkey in cold water. Do not use war m or hot water. Microwave thawing Microwave thawing is another option. Make sure that your microwave oven is large enough to hold the turkey especially if the oven has a rotating tray. You could check the manufacturer’s instructions to see what size turkey will fit into your microwave. Caution —

microwave thawing is irregular, creating hot spots which may encourage bacterial growth. Cook the turkey immediately after it is defrosted. Do not store in the refrigerator for cooking later. Some stuffing tips Stuf fing needs some room for expansion during cooking. Do not overstuff. A stuffing may be more than your turkey can hold. Place any extra stuffing in a greased pan or casserole dish and bake it separately. Stuffing contains ingredients, such as broth, eggs and meat, which could cause illness if they are not properly cooked and stored. To be safe, it should be cooked to a minimum temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not leave stuffing and other leftovers out for more than two hours. Refrigerate them immediately following the meal. Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving with family and friends. We do indeed have so very much for which we should be thankful!

problems. A cardiac catheterization can detect heart problems in your blood vessels around the heart, your heart valves, or your heart muscle. Minimally invasive and painless, these procedures allow the cardiac team to evaluate the problems listed previously. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention — Balloon angioplasty and stent: If you are undergoing a cardiac catheterization and a blockage is found, many times this can be fixed with a balloon or stent. By using balloons or stents, a severe narrowing in a blood vessel can be reduced to nothing and basically look like new! If you are having a certain type of heart attack, the vessel is usually completely blocked! The sooner blood flow is restored, by opening the vessel with a balloon or stent, the better your outcome will be from the heart attack. Electrocardiogram: Also known as an EKG, an electrocardiogram is a simple test that records the heart’s electrical activity and pinpoints the source of heart problems, if they are present. Some of the heart problems that can be detected by a simple EKG include evidence of a recent or old heart attack, irregular heartbeat and also the heart size and muscle thickness can be estimated. Stress test: A cardiac stress test is performed while the patient is walking on a treadmill. The stress test can measure overall cardiac fitness, however, this is the test that is usually used first to try to detect if the person has any significant blockages in the blood vessels around the heart. Learn more about the cardiac care services at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center at www.enmmc.com. Test your heart knowledge by clicking on “health resources” and “interactive tools” to take a coronary artery disease risk assessment and/or quiz on heart disease risk and prevention.

ranks in the speakership election and joined with Republicans to for m a working majority. Cervantes declined to say whether he intends to try to form a coalition with Republicans, but he didn’t rule out that possibility. “No politician closes any doors,” he told reporters. Asked why he challenged Lujan, Cervantes said, “I think the voters sent a pretty clear message earlier this month ... that they are expecting change.” Rep. Andy Nunez of Hatch recommended Cervantes in the caucus for the top leadership job and said he probably would support forming a coalition with Republicans if

Cervantes could win the speakership in January. He said he wanted to avoid what happened in the U.S. House of Representatives, where the Democrats retained Nancy Pelosi as their leader despite party losses in this month’s congressional elections. “The electorate .... told us they’re wanting some change. I think we need to make that change,” said Nunez. Lujan said he hoped Cervantes would not try to for m a coalition with Republicans because it would create fractures within the House at a time when lawmakers face difficult problems, such as a looming budget shortfall.

“We’re going to have to work together. We have only a slim majority and we all have to work in the best possible manner to address the predicament we’re in,” said Lujan. The Legislature convenes Jan. 18 for a 60-day session and lawmakers must deal with a new governor, Republican Susana Martinez. She has served as district attorney in Las Cruces since 1997. Lujan has served as speaker for 10 years, and was first elected to the House in 1974. He was the House’s majority whip and majority floor leader before being elected speaker. He succeeded longtime Speaker Raymond Sanchez, who lost his seat

in the Legislature in 2000. The speakership is among the most powerful positions in the Legislature. The speaker largely controls the legislative agenda in the House and has broad discretionary powers in presiding over daily proceedings. Importantly, the speaker also appoints chair men and members of committees, which conduct much of the work of the Legislature by approving and rejecting bills. Martinez, a lawyer, has served as majority leader for half of the 12 years he’s been in the House. His late father, Walter, was House speaker in the 1970s but was ousted by what was called the “Cow-

In addition to his service as vice president of the Board of Regents, he had been president of the NMMI Alumni Board. In 1970, he received the

Carl Hansen, a close friend of Russell and the Institute’s public relations officer called his friend “a consummate gentleman and a consummate professional,” and added, “NMMI has lost a great voice.” Russell was also

involved in many local civic organizations, including the Pecos Valley Rotary Club, of which he was a charter member and as whose president he served in 1985. For his outstanding contributions to the ideals of that organization, he was presented with the Paul Harris Award. He also served as the club’s secretary until the time of his passing.

More so than most holiday desserts, cookies are the perfect portion controlled treat that — when enjoyed in moderation — can be a better option than a big wedge of pie or cake. But in case you plan on eating more than one, there are some strategies for baking a healthier holiday cookie. For starters, you can add fiber and nutrients by replacing some or all of the white flour with whole wheat. In most cases, up to half of the all-purpose flour can be replaced with whole wheat without significant changes to flavor and texture. If you do replace all of the white flour with whole wheat, you may need to adjust the liquids, too. Whole-wheat flour absorbs more liquid than white, though this shouldn’t be a problem with 50-50 ratios. Also, consider trying different varieties of whole-wheat flours, some of which work better for sweet baked goods better than others. For 100 percent wholewheat cakes, cookies, quick breads or muffins, you might try whole-wheat pastry flour, which is made from soft wheat. This flour (look for it in the natural foods section at your market) is low in gluten, the protein that gives dough elasticity. This recipe for pecan-cinnamon wafers is an awardwinning entry from EatingWell Magazine’s annual holiday cookie contest. These classic, crispy cookies are made with 100 percent whole-wheat pastry flour and are laced with healthy, monounsaturated fat-rich pecans.

PECAN-CINNAMON WAFERS

Start to finish: 2 hours 15 minutes (30 minutes active), including 1 hour chilling time Makes 48 cookies 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter; 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided; 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 1/4 cups wholewheat pastry flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 cup finely chopped pecans; 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. In a bowl, use an electric

mixer on medium-high to beat the butter, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and the brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt, then add to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Stir in the pecans. Divide the dough in half and use lightly floured hands to shape each portion into a 6-inch log. Wrap each log in waxed paper and place in the freezer until

firm, at least 1 hour. Heat the oven to 350 F. Unwrap the dough and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. On a shallow plate combine the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Roll the logs in the sugar mixture, then slice each into 24 (1/4inch-thick) cookies. Place the cookies about 2 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake, one batch at a time, until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Rockets rush way to 48-14 win Section

Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

Goddard’s bread and butter is running the football, simple as that. Yet on Saturday, the Rockets tried to throw it on three of their first four plays. They didn’t have much success with it, and they simply tur ned to David Anaya. And Anaya answered. The junior carried it just 13 times in the game, but rolled up 213 yards and four touchdowns in leading the Rockets (11-0) to a 4814 drubbing of Valencia in the 4A state quarterfinals at the Wool Bowl. As always, Anaya gave all the praise to his offensive line. “The offensive line made great holes for me and Ryan Greene,” he said after his third straight 200-yard rushing per for mance. “I can’t say it enough how proud I am of our offensive line. The tight ends, the (guards) and (tackles), they all pushed to get it done on the ground today.” With the performance, Anaya — who also had a 41-yard TD catch — now has 2,120 yards and 27 TDs on the ground this season. His answer was simple

RAPTORS, HORNETS COME TO AGREEMENT ON TRADE DEAL

A person familiar with the trade says the New Orleans Hornets and Toronto Raptors have agreed in principle to a five-player deal that will send Peja Stojakovic to Toronto in exchange for former Georgia Tech guard Jarrett Jack. The person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade was not yet official Saturday afternoon, says New Orleans also will receive center David Andersen and guard Marcus Banks, while guard Jarryd Bayless, acquired by New Orleans from Portland less than a month ago, will go to Toronto. Stojakovic entered the season saying he understood he could be traded because of his expiring $15.3 million contract. Jack’s contract runs through the 2012-13 season and pays him more than $5 million each of the next two seasons.

FOR T SUMNER — Defense wins championships and there was no better example of that than Fort Sumner’s 17-12 victory over

Hagerman in the NMAA 1A State Championship on Saturday. The Foxes (11-1) were only able to muster 140 yards of offense, but their defense forced five Bobcat turnovers and scored a touchdown, making up for a lackluster

offensive performance. “We always tell our kids that the most important thing is to play tough defense and hit really hard,” said Fort Sumner coach Matt Moyer. “I think we did that. I think we out-physicalled them today. Our kids

Moyer said that fumbling has been a problem for the Bobcats all year. “If you look on film, they have a lot of fumbles,” he said. “We said that if we hit them we will continue to get those fumbles like everybody else has.” The score remained 6-0 until the start of the second quarter when a unique play enabled the Bobcats to score. Hagerman (10-2) took over at the Fort Sumner 29 and were forced to punt after three plays that gained nothing. On the punt, the ball was See BOBCATS, Page B2

did a great job on that and I think that’s what won the game.” From the outset, it was obvious that the championship would be decided by the team that could muster a big play. Hagerman made the first big play when Isaac Bejarano recovered a Fox fumble at the Bobcat 17. Two plays later, Fort Sumner would take a lead. On second down, Bejarano pitched the ball to R yan Gomez, but Gomez wasn’t able to get control of the ball and fumbled it.

fell apart when the Jaguars turned it over at the Rocket 13 after a 13-play drive. Rocket QB Ryan Greene dropped back to pass on three of Goddard’s first four plays and was sacked on his team’s first play from scrimmage. After that stretch of four plays, Goddard attempted to throw it just three more times the rest of the game. Instead, they tur ned to the ground game. Anaya carried it on the next three plays, scoring on a 34-yard run with 2:55 left in the first. Valencia punted it back to Goddard on the ensuing drive, and it took Goddard just three plays to make it 14-0. Greene ran for 17 yards on the first play, then hit David Strickland for 19 yards down to the Jaguar 3. Greene then hit paydirt by finding a hole behind the left side of his offensive line. A big play by Goddard’s special teams unit on the next Valencia possession all but put the game out of reach. Valencia’s Orey Feerer dropped back to punt on a 4th-and-18 from the Jag 36. Brandon Youngblood spun off a block trying to rush and got a paw on the Feerer

kick. Said Fuentes recovered the ball and fell forward to the Jaguar 21. Runs by Greene, Said Fuentes and Anaya, respectively, put the Rockets up 20-0 when Anaya pounded in from 4 yards out. The Rockets had their lead out to 41-0 before Valencia finally cracked the scoreboard to make it 41-7. That was the score when Goddard took over with 1:09 left in the third quarter while the Rocket reserves were on the field. That reserve unit, behind the running of Fabian Soto, put together a 15-play, 80yard drive that ate up 7 1/2 minutes and scored when Soto went in from a yard out on fourth down. Issac Gonzales ran for a 23-yard TD with 2:54 left for Valencia’s other score and the final TD of the afternoon. In all, five different players had at least 20 rushing yards for Goddard, which advanced to the state semifinals for the sixth straight season and will face Artesia on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Bulldog Bowl in Artesia.

snapped over Leonard Hamilton’s head. The Bobcat captain was able to retrieve the ball and get off a kick that went to the Fort Sumner 38. The Foxes’ Skylar McMath ran up to fair catch the punt, but muffed it and Hagerman’s Jesus Magallanes pounced on the ball at the 41. With a new set of downs and momentum, the Bobcats were able to march the ball the remaining 41 yards for a game-tying 1-yard touchdown run by Gomez. Two possessions later, Hagerman appeared to take its first lead when Bejarano ran 34 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown, but a block in the back negated the touchdown and, on the next play, Michael Garcia fumbled the ball after a 4yard catch. Hagerman coach Randy Montoya was frustrated by his team shooting themselves in the foot. “It is very frustrating,” he said. “How many touchdowns did we have called back? Two or three at least. Again, I don’t know if they were legit calls or bogus calls. “There’s nothing you can do about that. We can complain all that we want, but the fact of the matter is we just didn’t get the job done today.” To start the second half, both defenses continued to dominate the game, until the Foxes pulled the proverbial rabbit out of their hat. For the better part of a quarter, Fort Sumner had been trying to pound away at the Hagerman defense to no avail. Taking over at their own 44-yard line with 5:48 left in the third, Foxes’ quarterback Kolter West handed off to McMath, who barreled into the middle of the line. Instead of running through the line, McMath stopped and pitched the ball back to West who fired the ball down the left sideline to Daniel Gauna. Gauna jumped to catch the ball and outran the Bobcat defense to the end zone and, after a successful two point conversion, the Foxes

led 14-6. “It’s just a flea-flicker,” said Moyer. “When they saw us tighten down on the line, their defense came up. So we faked the run and pitched it back to the quarterback. It was one-on-one coverage and we just got it there. We just caught them with something they hadn’t seen all year.” Both teams traded fruitless drives until Hagerman took over at its own 40 with 6:17 to play. After two runs moved the ball to the Fort Sumner 24, Gomez ran around right end for what appeared to be a 25-yard touchdown. Once again, the Hagerman score was called back on a penalty, but this time they were able to rebound when, three plays later, Gomez scored on a 13-yard scamper. The Bobcats’ two-point conversion try failed, making the score 14-12 with 4:28 left. Hagerman attempted an onside kick after the Gomez touchdown and appeared to recover the ball at the 50. The referees huddled at midfield and, after 3 minutes of deliberation, marked the ball so that about half of it was on the 50, but signaled possession belonged to Fort Sumner. “He said that he saw our guy touch it right before the line,” Montoya said regarding what the referee told him after the call. “I don’t know, it was his call and it is just one of those things. If that’s what he saw, then that’s what he saw. It looked like a clean onside kick to me, but you can’t do anything about that.” With the ball, Fort Sumner

was able to run off more than 4 minutes and kicked a 28-yard field goal to go up 17-12. Hagerman’s last ditch effort with 23 seconds left, fell incomplete and the Foxes’ players flooded the field, celebrating, while many of the Bobcats fell to the ground. Montoya felt bad for his kids, but praised the Foxes’ players and game plan. “I just feel bad for the kids, I knew it meant a lot to them,” Montoya said. “But it just wasn’t in the cards today. You can’t have that many turnovers and expect to win. You just can’t do it. I told you earlier, to be a great team you have to be able to win the turnover battle and win on the road and we did not take care of that today. Fort Sumner had a great game plan. Hats off to them.” Montoya said that he was proud of his team and they had nothing to be ashamed of. “I am just proud of what they’ve done,” he said. “Like I’ve said, the senior class has been great. They have done an excellent job and they have nothing to be ashamed of. They’ve had a great year. “They’ve had a great four years of their career. I know this is hard for them to swallow and it will be hard for us to swallow. But, you know, that’s just life. You can’t always have it your way. “It just wasn’t in the cards today. The football gods did not want us to win tonight. I’ve been here as a player and I know that it sucks. Just sometimes that’s the way football goes. That’s why they call it a game.” l.foster@roswell-record.com

Artesia’s Lopez scores 5 TDs in thrashing of Scorps Roswell Daily Record

ARTESIA — Andy Lopez scored five firsthalf touchdowns — six overall — and the Artesia Bulldogs gained a spot in the Class 4A semifinals with a 65-20 thrashing of the Farmington Scorpions on Saturday. With impressive vision and burst, Lopez had scoring runs of 38 and 32 yards in the opening half, and 22 yards in the third quarter. The senior tailback also bounced off what appeared to be a sure tackle in the second quarter, taking a screen pass 50 yards to paydirt despite taking the hard shot from a Scorpion defender. “Taking the momentum away early really made a difference,” Artesia head coach Cooper Henderson said. “I was real pleased with our football team.

Time for title contenders to shut up and drive

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — After all the talk, tweeting and obvious attempts at mind games, it’s time for NASCAR’s three title contenders to get serious about the tightest championship race in seven years. In other words, they need to shut up and drive. The Chase for the Sprint Cup championship will be settled Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where points leader Denny Hamlin has weathered a steady wave of needling from Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick. Johnson, the four-time defending series champion, poked Hamlin several times in an effort to rattle Hamlin’s nerves as Hamlin tries to protect a 15-point lead — the smallest in the seven-year history of the Chase. Harvick, sitting in third and 46 points behind Hamlin, has openly played the aggressor and talked of how he’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain. The trash-talk and mind games have gone on all week, adding an extra element of drama to what’s already been a terrific title race. “I never remember a time in our sport where there’s been this much talking,” Jeff Burton said. “I almost feel like we’re going to a boxing match.” By the checkered flag Sunday, it may very well feel like the contenders went 12 tough rounds in this spirited title race. The match pits Johnson, the most dominant driver of the decade, who is seeking a historic fifth consecutive title. Despite six wins this season, he’s been off a bit and his Hendrick Motorsports team hasn’t dominated the way people have come to expect from Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus. Instead, it’s been Hamlin who has led the charge. The popular preseason pick to dethrone

Shawn Gonzales fumble in Scorpion territory officially turned the tide in Artesia’s favor. Lopez scored from 32 yards out just two plays after the costly turnover, turning a 10-point advantage into a 23-6 Artesia lead after just one quarter. The Scorpions had another costly mishap that set the Bulldogs up near midfield at the start of the second quarter, as a Gonzales punt got into a stiff head wind and landed in the visitors’ stands for 0yard net kick. Artesia (7-4) quickly made the Scorps regret that as well, needing just two plays to get into the end zone as Josh Houghtaling hit Dacotah Watts for a 19yard gain and Lopez followed with his 38yard scoring jaunt. In all, Lopez amassed 114 rushing yards and tacked on 49 receiving yards for Artesia. He carried the ball just 10 times and had just a pair of catches. “He’s done a great job all year for us,” Henderson said of Lopez. “We’ve been very

Johnson, Hamlin has had a breakthrough eightwin season. He overcame knee surgery in March, a spat with Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch and has stepped up in the Chase to outrun Johnson. Then there’s Harvick, overshadowed despite season-long consistency and his role as the leader of the resurgence at storied Richard Childress Racing. With three wins and 25 top-10 finishes, Harvick took easy control of the “regular season” points lead and put himself in position to win RCR’s first Cup championship since the late Dale Earnhardt’s seventh and final title in 1994. Johnson has lived through six previous title races and has been loose and fun this week, enjoying his down time in South Beach with his wife and new daughter. Harvick, never known to get rattled, has spent much of his time at the track overseeing the Kevin Harvick Inc. efforts in the Nationwide and Trucks Series. And how has Hamlin handled the pressure? Just fine, thank you. Surrounded by a large group of friends at the famed Fontainebleau hotel, Hamlin has had an enjoyable week celebrating his 30th birthday, which was Thursday. There was a boat trip around Miami, a meeting with LeBron James at the hotel and great seats at Friday night’s Bobcats-Heat game. Bothered by the enormous task at hand Sunday? Doesn’t seem like the pressure, or the competition, is getting to Hamlin. “I feel the same as I do every week. I’m never uptight. I do me. I don’t know what else to tell you,” he said. Then, showing a bit of fire for the first time all week, he finally addressed the persistent needling from Johnson and Harvick. “If he (Johnson) keeps bringing up my name, he’s pretty much worried about me,” Hamlin said. “You’re not gonna say you’re not worried and you’re relaxed and everything, but keep bringing up my name.” Fact of the matter is, Hamlin has simply been better than the champions for several weeks now. A week ago at Phoenix, it was Johnson who should have dominated. He’d traditionally used the desert track as the place where he put the competition away, and everybody expected another runaway win. Instead, it was Hamlin who dominated the afternoon until poor fuel mileage forced him to pit late and fade to 12th. It erased what could have been a lead of almost 60 points, it’s instead 15, and kept Johnson and Harvick in contention to take the title Sunday. Harvick remained at ease through two final practice sessions Saturday, pulling his Chevrolet off the track early because he liked it just fine. “We’re really happy with our car,” Harvick said. “It should be a fun day. I’m excited. We’re going to race hard.” Finishing up early could be viewed as another mind game, but nobody seemed to notice as the final preparations came to an end on the biggest race of the season. Johnson spent a good deal of track time racing Hamlin, as the two got a chance to measure their performance before the big event. When the practice was over, Hamlin got one final chance to talk a little trash himself.

pleased with him.” Houghtaling had a stellar game, himself, completing 13-of-18 pass attempts for 222 yards and three touchdowns. Koby Caton caught two of those scoring throws, and also had a 34-yard run in the game that set up Lopez’s second score. Farmington (9-3) was led by quarterback Daniel Lacey, who had 116 rushing yards and a score on 17 carries and also threw for a 41-yard touchdown in the first quarter. After getting 10 first downs in the opening half, however, the Scorpions managed just one after the break. With the win, the Bulldogs earned a rematch with District 4-4A rival and topranked Goddard, a 48-14 winner over Valencia Saturday. The Rockets (11-0) beat Artesia 39-20 in the teams’ district match up behind a big night from David Anaya. Henderson said his Bulldogs will have to replicate Saturday’s performance to beat the two-time defending champion Rockets

Broncos NT Williams set for return to San Diego

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — When Jamal Williams was trying to latch on and build a career with the San Diego Chargers in 1998, he was a victim of rookie hazing like all first-year players. “They shaved off my eyebrows, so I had no facial expressions,” Williams recalled this week. “So after awhile, guys were like, ’We don’t know if he’s happy, sad, or what.”’ Reading his emotions this week is a similar challenge. Williams, 34, played a dozen seasons with the Chargers but will be making his first appearance at Qualcomm Stadium as a visiting player when the Denver Broncos (3-6) head to San Diego (4-5) on Monday night. San Diego released him March 4, and just five days later, its AFC West rivals signed the nose tackle to a three-year contract. A three-time All Pro during his Chargers days, Williams downplayed the experience of facing his former team. “We play football,” he said. “That’s what we do. It’s not like I’m going to go out there crying tears and stuff. That’s not part of me. When it’s time for football, it’s time for football; family, friends, after that. When you put emotions into things you can’t focus on football and playing the best you can out there.” Williams took a similar even-keeled approach after his successful run with the Chargers suddenly ended after spending most of 2009 on injured reserve with a triceps tear. The time off had actually given the rest of his body time to heal. He wasn’t ready to retire, and when his old defensive line coach in San Diego, Wayne Nunnely, started recruiting him to Denver, it didn’t matter much that he’d have to face his old team twice a season. The thought process was matter of fact. “My main thing was, ‘OK, I’m going to the Denver Broncos, one of their divisional opponents. How well will I be accepted in the locker room and how would I fit in the scheme?’ That was my only concern at the time, not, ‘Oh, I’m leaving San Diego.”’ He said. “It’s part of the business. I’ve been there, seen that with Junior Seau, Rodney Harrison, Drew Brees, so I knew my time would come eventually. If not, I was going to retire there.”

in the semifinals. “You have to come out and execute on every series,” the coach said. “We’re sure excited about the challenge.” The Bulldogs host the Rockets on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Bulldog Bowl.

Once Williams got through initial struggles with the Mile High altitude, the other parts fell into place. Denver’s 3-4 defense needed a centerpiece and Williams quickly assimilated himself both in the locker room and on the field. He has only 22 tackles, 15 solo, this season but statistics have never told the story with Williams. For him, it’s about commanding double teams, consuming blockers to allow linebackers to make the stop or forcing plays to bounce outside, hopefully to the waiting arms of teammates. “He knows how to play the game,” Nunnely said. “He knows the tempo of a game. He’s seen every type of block and every type of person — big center, small center, quick center, all those different kinds of pitchers. So he knows how to adjust his game based on who he’s playing against.” Williams may have more knowledge of San Diego center Nick Hardwick and quarterback Philip Rivers than just about any other — and vice versa. “It’ll be kind of weird,” Rivers said of lining up against Williams without the protection of a noncontact practice jersey. “Six training camps he was right there, a yard away from me, a captain here, a great teammate and a great player for a long time. ... Knowing Jamal and how competitive he is, it’ll be a battle for sure.”

Tiger Woods PR campaign off to shaky start BY TIM DAHLBERG

The early reviews are in, and they’re not terribly kind. But what do you expect when Tiger Woods finally bares his soul and we find out he doesn’t seem to have one? The campaign to deliver the world a new, improved Tiger began this week just as all those nasty reminders of what happened a year ago in Florida were about to appear. His public rehabilitation is now officially under way, surely to be followed at some point by some cutesy Nike ads that will enlighten us even further. Op-ed piece in Newsweek. Radio interview on ESPN. Even a couple of tweets. And not a clue that Woods even begins to get it at all. The most miserable year he could ever imagine is about over. He should be shouting in joy that he’s survived, even if his golf career may be ruined forever. Instead he’s trying to sell himself to the world in the same calculating way he once sold Nike’s golf equipment. Except this time it won’t work. “People perceive him to be a complete fraud,” said Ronn Torossian, president of 5W Public Relations in New York. “Making a mistake in your personal life is one thing, but being seen as a complete insincere and fraudulent person is quite another.” Woods’ agent called the public relations campaign a positive step for his client, saying Woods was making an effort to do something different. But he’s really doing much the same thing he’s always done, presumably because the bills must be paid for his new Florida bachelor’s mansion. In his first try months ago to make himself more palatable to fans disgusted by his sexual appetite, Woods gave two 5-minute television interviews that revealed absolutely nothing. This time he went across various media platforms to reveal absolutely nothing. Want to know what happened that night in Florida? Don’t bother listening to the tape of his interview on “Mike & Mike in the Morning,” where the question was timidly posed. “Unfortunately I’ve talked about Thanksgiving for the past year so I think I’ve exhausted that subject,” Woods said. Actually, Woods has said almost nothing about Thanksgiving night a year ago when his world unraveled in ways few could have ever imagined. That’s certainly his right, but don’t expect to sell someone a new watch if the playbook for your return to glory is written by some public relations whiz at his agent’s office. So what did we learn from Woods in his first attempt to sell himself to us as a new man? Well, he loves his children, is sorry he hurt people close to him, wants to be a good golfer once again, and thinks his fans are just awesome. Oh, and he’s the founder of a foundation that is helping America’s youth. He’s had a part in educating 10 million youngsters, if you believe some wildly inflated numbers. The most important message delivered from

the playbook, though, was that he’s a much better person than ever before. “If that (the accident) didn’t happen I don’t think I’d be as blessed or as balanced as I am now,” Woods said. Please. Save it for the Nike ad. The problem isn’t just that Woods is perceived as an aloof phony interested only in padding his still hefty bank account. He’s been exposed for all to see, and people have made their judgments. The real problem is that he’s not remotely interesting unless he’s winning golf tournaments. And until he does that again, no media blitz is going to make him palatable to the public again. Unfortunately for Woods, his game is about as messed up as his reputation. He’s got a swing he can’t trust and a short game that’s suddenly not so magical. He went all year without winning for the first time ever, and the same players who once cowered before him are now more likely to be making jokes about him. “The single worst thing that ever could happen to Tiger Woods may be happening,” said Michael Kempner, president of MWW Group public relations in East Rutherford, N.J. “He has gone from being immortal to being extraordinarily mortal.” Judging from his new public relations campaign, Woods and his advisers apparently haven’t figured that out yet.

Wolf Pack rout New Mexico State, 52-6 B4 Sunday, November 21, 2010

SPORTS

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Colin Kaepernick, Vai Taua and the rest of the 19th-ranked Nevada Wolf Pack are finally getting what they wanted: a chance to play No. 3 Boise State for a share of the Western Athletic Conference title. Kaepernick threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns and Taua ran for 111 yards and scored three times Saturday to lead Nevada past New Mexico State 52-6 and set up Friday night’s game in Reno against the undefeated defending champions. “It is going to be a great opportunity for us,” Nevada coach Chris Ault said. “And they are coming to Mackay. That’s pretty special.” “Boise’s defense is as good as there is. And their offense is the best they’ve ever had. We have our work cut out for us,” he said. Kaepernick and Taua hooked up on a 79-yard pass play for a 31-3 lead just before the half as the Wolf Pack (10-1, 4-1 WAC) claimed their 11th straight victory at home and ensured their first 10-win season since 1991. Freshman Andrew Manley completed 19 of 39 passes for 220 yards for the Aggies (2-9, 1-6 WAC). But Nevada’s defense held New Mexico State to 89 yards rushing, sacked Manley six times and had two interceptions. The last one was returned 90 yards for a touchdown by Khalid Wooten with 5:17 left in the game. “Our defensive effort was outstanding,” Ault said. “We had 11 tackles for a loss. That’s pretty doggone good.” Nevada defensive end Dontay Moch had eight tackles, three sacks and 3 1/2 tackles for a loss. He entered the game ranked 13th in NCAA history in that category with 57 — the active career leader. Nevada’s loss at Hawaii 27-21 on Oct. 16 eliminated the possibility of Nevada

and Boise State both bringing undefeated records to the nationally televised game set for Friday night. But both teams have had the game circled on their calendars from the beginning of the season and Ault said he spent much of the week making sure the Wolf Pack didn’t have a letdown like they did two years when New Mexico State upset

them 48-45 in Reno. “I was real proud of the way the kids responded,” Ault said. “We didn’t look past New Mexico State. We’re not that good to look past anybody. We’re not Boise State.” The victory was the 500th in school history for the Wolf Pack. “A lot of players play college football, but very few of them get a chance to make

history,” said Ault, who is the winningest coach in school history with a record of 216-97-1 over 26 years. “Getting the 500th victory for this program is special. And to be the first major college football team in this school to get 10 wins is also very special. They deserve it.” Taua, the NCAA’s active career leader with 24 games over 100 yards rushing, scored his third touchdown of the day Saturday on a 7-yard run to give Nevada a 38-6 lead with 4:44 left in the third quarter. It grew to 45-6 when Lampford Mark went untouched up the middle for a 57yard touchdown with 10 minutes left in the game. “I think after a while they probably wanted to get the throws in, the score was never really that close,” New Mexico State coach DeWayne Walker said. “I don’t have to get these guys up, I know they are not going to quit. We’re going to go back to the drawing board and get ready for Hawaii.” Nevada went ahead 17-0 early in the second quarter when Kaepernick got loose for 26 yards then three plays later threw a 22-yard scoring pass to tight end Virgil Green alone in the middle of the end zone. Kaepernick, who became Nevada’s alltime leader with 79 career TD passes, added a 9-yard TD run to push the lead to 24-0 with 3:40 left in the half. Tyler Stampler’s 47-yard field goal cut it to 24-3 with 52 seconds on the clock. But two plays later Kaepernick tossed a pass down the sideline into the outstretched arms of Taua who turned it into a 79-yard touchdown and a 31-3 lead at the half. “They were in man coverage and Kap threw a per fect ball,” Taua said. “If I would have dropped it they probably would have taken me out of the game.” “We are 100 percent focused on Boise now,” he added.

BYU tops UNM, 40-7 Sooners wallop Baylor PROVO, Utah (AP) — Jake Heaps threw two touchdown passes to fellow freshman Cody Hoffman and ran for another score as BYU earned bowl eligibility with a 40-7 win over New Mexico on Saturday. A third freshman, Josh Quezada, ran for 107 yards and a touchdown as the Cougars (6-5, 5-2 Mountain West) won for the fifth time in six games despite committing 14 penalties. Stump Godfrey threw for 125 yards

and a touchdown and added 53 yards rushing for New Mexico (1-10, 1-6). Heaps threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Hoffman in the third quarter and a 10-yarder in the fourth quarter. Heaps finished 18-of-32 for 231 yards. Mitch Payne made two field goals and four extra points to become the Mountain West career leader in kicking points with 314, two more than his brother Matt had for BYU.

Ohio State survives scare

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Fourth down, 10 yards and most likely the season was on the line for Ohio State. The Buckeyes put the ball in Terrelle Pryor’s hands, and he used his legs to help them escape from Iowa with their Rose Bowl hopes intact for another week. Dan Herron rushed for a 1-yard touchdown with 1:47 left and No. 8 Ohio State rallied to beat Iowa 20-17 Saturday. Terrelle Pryor threw for 195 yards and a touchdown for the Buckeyes (101, 6-1 Big Ten), including a crucial 14-yard run on fourth down to keep the game-winning drive alive. The win kept Ohio State tied with Wisconsin and Michigan State atop the Big Ten standings heading into next week’s showdown with rival Michigan in the Horseshoe. It also preserved the Buckeyes chances for at least a share of the Big Ten title for a record-tying sixth year in a row. “I was going to run the whole time,” Pryor said. “I found running room, had some good blocking. I just cut it up and went and got the first.” No. 21 Iowa (7-4, 4-3) went ahead 17-10 early in the fourth quarter on freshman Marcus Coker’s 1-yard TD run. But Devin Barclay’s 48-yard field goal brought the Buckeyes within 17-13, and Pryor engineered a 76-yard drive despite DeVier Posey’s drop of a sure TD pass. Ricky Stanzi had 195 yards passing and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes, who’ve let up a go-ahead winning touchdown in the fourth quarter of each of their defeats. The game went to the fourth quarter tied at 10. The Buckeyes blinked first — then rallied behind Pryor

for its 12th win in 13 tries over the disappointing Hawkeyes. Pryor threw an errant ball over the middle that was tipped, picked off by Shaun Prater and returned to the Ohio State 27-yard line. Coker, in for a struggling Adam Robinson, followed a 26-yard run with a 1-yard plunge to put the Hawkeyes ahead 17-10 with 11:53 left. Barclay pulled Ohio State within 17-13 with a 48-yarder with 7:38 left, and the Buckeyes forced the Hawkeyes into a quick three-and-out. That’s when Pryor redeemed himself. Posey, who had blown past the coverage, had the ball slip right through his hands with 4:02 left to set up 4th-and-10. It could have been a crushing play for the Buckeyes, but Ohio State coach Jim T ressel took Pryor aside and got him focused after Posey’s frustrating drop. Pryor scrambled 14 yards to pick up a first down the Buckeyes had to have, and five plays later Herron was in the end zone. “Yeah, I was mad. But, I mean, we had a 4th-and10 to get to or we were going to lose another game. I hate losing with a passion,” Pryor said. Pryor proved it, finding Dane Sanzenbacher for 24 yards to the Iowa 2 with 2:49 left, and Herron’s touchdown put the Buckeyes ahead for good. Pryor finished with 78 yards rushing on 15 carries and survived two interceptions. “It was huge and gave us that momentum,” Tressel said of Pryor’s critical fourth-down conversion. “I was afraid he was messing around and wasn’t going to get the first, but he made

it.” Ricky Stanzi’s fourthdown pass to Marvin McNutt was stopped just two yards shy of the first down on Iowa’s futile final drive.

No. 14 Virginia Tech 31, No. 24 Miami 17 MIAMI (AP) — Virginia Tech had one bad week this season. The Hokies have been perfect in all others. Their reward is another shot at an Atlantic Coast Conference championship. R yan Williams ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns, including a careerlong 84-yarder with 13:24 remaining, as No. 14 Virginia Tech beat No. 24 Miami 31-17 on Saturday to clinch the ACC’s Coastal Division title. The Hokies (9-2, 7-0) won their ninth straight, the program’s longest streak since 1999, and will get an opportunity to play their way into the Orange Bowl in Miami’s home stadium Jan. 3. “We’ve been hearing about this all week,” Williams said. “To clinch the division ... I mean, it feels great. Words can’t describe it.” Tyrod Taylor’s 18-yard keeper with 6:25 left sealed it for Virginia Tech, which beat Miami for the 11th time in 16 meetings. Danny Coale added four catches for 83 yards and a touchdown for the Hokies, who gave up 464 yards but intercepted Miami freshman quarterback Stephen Morris three times in the final 9 minutes. Lamar Miller rushed for a career -best 163 yards and a touchdown for Miami (7-4, 5-3), which has not won the ACC since joining in 2004. Miami had six turnovers, its most since Nov. 13, 1999 — also against Virginia Tech.

WACO, Texas (AP) — DeMarco Murray had another all-around big game, R yan Broyles became the first Oklahoma receiver with more than 100 catches in a season and the 16th-ranked Sooners stayed in contention for another Big 12 title with their latest victory over Baylor. Murray turned a short pass into a long touchdown and ran for another score in the opening minutes, getting the Sooners off to a fast start in a 53-24 victory over Baylor on Saturday night. Oklahoma (9-2, 5-2 Big 12) has won all 20 games in its series against the Bears (7-5, 4-4), who wrapped up their first winning regular season since 1995, the season before the Big 12 began, despite losing all three of their November games — all to ranked teams. The Sooners, who have won six of the last 10 Big 12 titles, play their regular season finale next Saturday at 12th-ranked Oklahoma State. The Bedlam rivalry could deter mine who will represent South Division in the league’s last scheduled championship game, or set up a threeway tie. If Oklahoma State wins, the Cowboys win the South title. But if Oklahoma wins and Texas A&M beats Texas, the three-way tie

Right now, Oklahoma State is 10th, Oklahoma 14th and Texas A&M 19th. Landry Jones completed 26 of 39 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns while playing only the first three quarters. Broyles, already Oklahoma’s career leader in receptions and touchdowns, had 12 catches to

push his season total to 106. He had 113 yards receiving, including a 5yard TD. A week after taking over the No. 2 spot on the Big 12 career list for all-purpose yards, Murray had 13 carries for 62 yards and caught six passes for 120 yards.

Neighbors want new name for Kit Carson Mountain

Kit Carson Mountain looms over the town of Crestone in southern Colorado. CRESTONE, Colo. (AP) — Neighbors of Kit Carson Mountain in southern Colorado want to change the peak’s name because of concerns about the Indian-fighting frontiersman.

Neighbors and Saguache County of ficials have signed petitions to rename the 14,165-foot peak Mount Crestone. The (Colorado Springs) Gazette reports that the U.S.

Board on Geographic Names in Washington will decide on the proposals to rename the mountain within the next few months. Kit Carson was a 19th

century rancher and trapper who helped crush a Navajo uprising during the Civil War. Carson’s name has been attached to a Colorado county and its largest military base, but some residents in the San Luis Valley say they’d rather not have Carson’s name on the mountain. “This beautiful mountain deserves better than to be named after such a shameful character of U.S. history,” wrote one resident who signed the petition to rename the mountain. Carson was a guide for Western explorer John C. Fremont, who became one of California's first senators, and is credited for helping organize a volunteer infantry in New Mexico for the Union during the Civil War. But Carson also helped the federal gover nment put down a wartime Nava-

jo uprising by ordering the destruction of crops and villages belonging to Navajo Indians hiding in the Canyon de Chelly in northeastern Arizona. Carson then led the Navajo to a reservation on a forced march in 1864 that killed an estimated 300 Navajos. “He was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Native Americans on the Long Walk. You could say he was acting on orders, but look at the Nazis carrying out orders under Hitler. Were they pardoned for it?” said Crestone resident Keno Menechino, who supports the change. But many oppose changing the name of Kit Carson Mountain, one of Colorado’s 54 “fourteeners,” or peaks above 14,000 feet. The Colorado Mountain Club and the U.S. Forest Service oppose the change. Among the complaints:

There are two other popular fourteeners nearby with “Crestone” in the name: Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle. “Kit Carson Mountain is very well-known among Colorado hikers and climbers. Changing the name would cause confusion in the area, not only for the public but to firefighting and search-andrescue operations,” Rio Grande National Forest spokesman Mike Blakeman said. Others say Kit Carson is being unfairly judged. “For a man of his time, the 1860s, he was generous, knowledgeable and he did good work for the government. It wasn’t his idea to pacify the Navajo. The government told him to do it,” said Crestone attorney Fred Bauder. “It was a different time and he really needs to be judged by the standards of his time.”

Black farmers, American Indians closer to US settlement

WASHINGTON (AP) — Black farmers and American Indians who say the United States discriminated against them and took their money for decades are a step closer to winning longawaited government settlements. Under legislation passed by the Senate on Friday, black farmers who claim discrimination at the hands of the Agriculture Department would receive almost $1.2 billion. American Indians who say they were swindled out of royalties by the Interior Department would split $3.4 billion. Both cases have languished for more than a decade, and plaintiffs say beneficiaries are dying off. “The Senate finally did the right thing,” said John Boyd, head of the National Black Farmers Association. “They stepped up and told the world civil rights still matter in America.” The legislation was approved in the Senate by voice vote Friday and sent to the House. The money had been held up for months in the chamber as Democrats and Republicans squabbled over how to

pay for it. President Barack Obama praised the Senate for finally passing the bill and urged the House to move forward on it. He said his administration is also working to resolve separate lawsuits filed against the department by Hispanic and female farmers. “While these legislative achievements reflect important progress, they also serve to remind us that much work remains to be done,” he said. Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Tribe from Browning, Mont., and the lead plaintiff in the Indian case, said two people who would have been beneficiaries had died on her reservation this week. “It’s 17 below and the Blackfeet nation is feeling warm,” she said. “I don’t know if people understand or believe the agony you go through when one of the beneficiaries passes away without justice.” Lawmakers from both parties have said they support resolving the claims of discrimination and mistreatment by federal agencies. But the money has

been caught up in a fight over spending and deficits. Republicans repeatedly objected to the settlements when they were added on to larger pieces of legislation. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., satisfied conservative complaints by finding spending offsets to cover the cost. The legislation also includes a one-year extension of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which gives grants to states to provide cash and other assistance to the poor, and several American Indian water rights settlements in Arizona, Montana and New Mexico sought by Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. In the Indian case, which has been in the courts for almost 15 years, at least 300,000 Native Americans claim they were swindled out of royalties overseen by the Interior Department since 1887 for things like oil, gas, grazing and timber. The plaintiffs would share the settlement. Cobell was confident about passage in the House, where the two settlements already have

According to John’s wishes,

passed twice as part of larger pieces of legislation. For the black farmers, it is the second round of funding from a class-action lawsuit originally settled in 1999 over allegations of widespread discrimination by local Agriculture Department offices in awarding loans and other aid. It is known as the Pigford case, named after Timothy Pigford, a black farmer from North Carolina who was an original plaintiff. The government already has paid out more than $1 billion to about 16,000 black farmers, with most getting about $50,000. The new money is intended for people — some estimates say 70,000 or 80,000 — who were denied earlier

payments because they missed deadlines for filing. The individual amounts depend on how many claims are successfully filed. The bill passed Friday would be partially paid for by diverting dollars from a surplus in nutrition programs for women and children and by extending customs user fees. The Obama administration has moved aggressively to resolve the discrimination cases after most of them spent a decade or longer in the courts. Last month, the Agriculture Department offered American Indian farmers who say they were denied far m loans a $680 million settlement.

It’s a Christmas fantasy ...

The 28th annual Christmas Fantasy Arts and Crafts Fair is Nov. 26-27

ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR

Those looking for unique, handcrafted gifts and a warm, festive holiday atmosphere won’t want to miss this Christmas fantasyland of arts and crafts. The 28th annual Christmas Fantasy Arts and Crafts Fair will be held Friday, Nov. 26, and Saturday, Nov. 27, at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, 912 N. Main St. The show will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday. Admission is $1; children 12 and under are free. Organized and promoted by Pat Lilley and Earl and Betty Lusk, the show offers a a home-like atmosphere and offers items not available in other shows — which is what sets Christmas Fantasy apart from similar shows, Lilley said. “Every show has a different feel,” Lilley said. “Ours has a lot of exhibitors and visitors getting together and enjoying each other. ... You get to know the people. You get to know the exhibitors. I get to see a lot of people I never see anywhere else.” Betty Lusk agreed.

Visitors to the Christmas Fantasy Arts and Crafts Fair enjoy perusing the booths, including this one offering a variety of jewelry.

“It’s a wonderful way to see friends, to enjoy the booths and to find great gifts,” she said. “It’s like a family reunion.” At the show, some 55 to 60 booths will offer a variety of items for the young and the young at heart, ranging from jewelry, pottery, purses, candles, photo albums, Christmas décor, Christmas ornaments, dolls, rosaries, metal art, birdhouses, crocheted items, wooden items and furniture, paintings, toys for children, crosses, hair accessories, food items and more. New this year will be a booth offering wine sampling. Run by Rebecca Jennings of Deming, the booth won’t be selling wine, Lilley said, but will be offering coupons for patrons to purchase the wines from local retailers. Lilley said she expects the wine sampling to be a popular addition to the show. “We’ve never had a wine sampling before,” she said. “... I think it’ll be a good draw.” A silent auction of items donated by vendors will benefit Lend-A-Hand of Roswell, Inc., a private non-profit agency established in 1983 which assists the needy with emergency

food, emergency funding to prevent utility cut-offs and some prescription funding. Lend-A-Hand administers funds to area agencies, including Presbyterian Outreach Program, the St. Peter Good Samaritan program and Salvation Army services. Meanwhile, Lilley said she always enjoys chatting with her customers and discussing her jewelry with them and with other vendors. Lilley said the secret to her jewelry is simple — everything depends on the stone. “When I start making jewelry, I look at the stone and that tells me what I should do,” she said, adding that the type of setting she uses — usually a simple silver one — depends entirely on the type and color of the stone. While she mostly works with simple settings, Lilley said she has recently started experimenting with unusual stones and settings. While the Christmas Fantasy Show isn’t necessarily the biggest show in Roswell, it is one the whole family can enjoy, Lilley said. “It’s a friendly, pleasant holiday atmosphere,” she said. vistas@roswell-record.com

Kids learn responsibility through household chores Q: How do I train my 2-year-old to clean up after herself? She’ll go into her sisters’ room and destroy it, and won’t help clean up unless I threaten to punish her. Then she only picks up a couple of things before getting distracted. Frankly, it’s easier for me to clean it up myself. My older girls complain that they have to clean up but their little sister doesn’t. I know this isn’t fair, but what else do I do? JULI: As any parent knows, the most challenging task of raising a toddler is setting boundaries. It is important to teach your daughter that she has to clean up the messes that she makes, but that might be an impossible task if the messes are too big. Part of teaching your 2-year-old responsibility is not allowing her to get into trouble or messes that are too big for her to clean up. To start with, limit her play areas. If she’s going to trash her sisters' room, then make that room off-limits. Keep play areas to her own room or a family room. Even in those areas, limit the number of toys she has access to at a given time. She can choose to play with the dollhouse or the blocks, but not have access to every toy in the house. Consistently ask her to clean those up immediately before she moves on to the next thing. What she’s capable of handling is going to grow with time. The lesson of cleaning up a few toys will transfer to greater responsibility in years to come. Resist that temptation to swoop in and clean up for her. The extra time and

What better time to kick back with a glass of something sweet? But many people tend to skirt the dessert wine shelf, with its unfamiliar names and grape varieties. “It’s not chardonnay. It’s not pinot noir. It’s not cab. Purchasing them is more of a leap of faith,” says wine expert Karen MacNeil, author of “The Wine Bible.” In truth, there’s nothing to worry about, says MacNeil. “Dessert wines as a category are probably the most crowd-pleasing wines there are. You really almost can’t go wrong.” Another good point — a little goes a long way. Dessert wines often are sold in half bottles, which are sufficient to serve a fair-sized crowd since the wines are richer and more concentrated in flavor. MacNeil likes them for when you don’t have time, or room, for dessert. They’re also a good match for a cookie, a crisp alternative to a heavy dessert. “I think chocolate chip cookies and Madeira are probably the single best combination in the world,” says MacNeil, chairwoman of the wine department at the Culinary Institute of America’s Napa Valley branch. Still puzzled about pairings? Aline Baly, whose family makes Chateau Coutet, a golden dessert wine from France, likes to keep three things in mind when looking for the sweet spot in dessert pairings: Complement, contrast and/or texture. You don’t have to match all three; just try to keep one in mind. “I’m not an expert chef,” Baly points out, “so this is a question that I’ve had to deal with, especially when I’m traveling and presenting Coutet to other people. I look at my wine, which is very fresh, very crisp, and I’m looking for something that has a lot of freshness, a sweet factor that will complement the style of the wine.” The second option is to go for a contrast with something savory. This is the kind of combo that makes chocolate-covered pretzels a deliciously saltysweet treat. “People like opposites in their mouths,” Baly says. If you’re taking the texture approach, you might look at a food like turkey, slightly dry and chewy, which goes surprisingly well with a full, smooth wine such as Coutet, which comes from the Sauternes region of France. In fact, savory pairings are among the most successful dessert wine partners; Sauternes and blue cheese is a classic. To get its sweetness, Chateau Coutet relies on a kind of mold known as Botrytis cinerea (aka the “Noble Rot”). This fungus develops on the fruit through the harvest to concentrate the sugar as well as the aromas while maintaining the freshness of fresh fruit by allowing winemakers to pick earlier than a late-harvest method. Other dessert wines are made by adding grape spirit (alcohol) to the wine part way through to prevent further fermentation and retain some natural grape sugar. Among the latter category are muscat and topaque wines from Australia, known as “stickies” Down Under because of their sweet nature. (Topaque is a new name Aussie producers came up with for tokay after Hungary reasserted its right to use that name.) Topaque is made from muscadelle grapes and is fortified with grape spirit, says Rutherglen producer Colin Campbell of Campbells Wines. Muscat from the Rutherglen region in the Australian state of Victoria is made from a grape called “muscat rouge a petit grains” and is made in the same way as Topaque. When pairing muscat, the older and more complex wines require stronger food, says Campbell. But young muscat and topaque work well, chilled, as an aperitif, pairing with classic starters like prosciutto and melon and cheese, especially washed rind cheeses. Also try it with honeyed ice cream or even poured directly over ice cream. The bottom line in pairings is to look for balance. You don’t want a tooth-achingly sweet, syrupy dessert and a heavy, syrupy wine. As Baly puts it, “the dish can’t be louder than the wine and the wine can’t be louder the food.”

effort now will be well worth it as your daughter grows. ** ** ** Q: I was astonished to read how much childhood obesity is increasing. Do you have any suggestions for parents who want to help their kids avoid this health nightmare? JIM: Rather than focusing on the obvious, like eating well-balanced meals and keeping junk food to a minimum, let’s look at something that moms and dads might tend to overlook — snack time. Every situation is different, but research suggests that on the whole, many children are simply snacking too much. Health Affairs reports that kids are taking in significantly more calories from snack foods today than they did in the 1970s. Other statistics show that half of American children snack four times a day, with some kids eating almost constantly — as many as 10 snacks a day! It’s not likely that these kids are hungry that often. Researchers

believe they’re simply eating the food because it’s there, almost as a form of entertainment. Obviously, when kids spend so much time snacking, they’re less likely to eat a balanced meal at breakfast, lunch or dinner. The snacks themselves are a problem, as well. Cookies and cakes are the most popular snacks among kids, with chips and other salty items running a close second. Children are also drinking a lot more fruit juice. That might sound good on the surface, but most of these drinks are loaded with excess sugar and are much less healthy than an actual piece of fruit. An after-school snack isn’t a bad thing. But most people would agree that snacks are no substitute for a healthy and well-balanced meal. And of course, the snack itself should be nutritious. Parents need to make sure they’re setting a good example for their kids in this area. Don’t expect your child to be happy with an apple if you’re snacking on candy bars and soda! ** ** ** 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.

200-year-old Champagne loses fizz, not flavor

MARIEHAMN, Finland (AP) — Lime blossom, coffee, chanterelles. That’s what sommeliers detected sampling two centuries-old Champagne salvaged from the wreckage of a schooner at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The flavors that came to my mind were yeast, honey and — I dare say — a hint of manure. The antique bubbly was barely bubbly after its long sleep in the cold and murky Nordic waters. But I couldn’t help feeling a thrill as I took a swill of history captured in that cloudy, golden liquid. After all, I was drinking the world’s oldest Champagne — or at least one of the oldest. Connoisseurs haven’t been able to exactly date the 168 bottles raised from a shipwreck near the Aland Islands, a windswept archipelago between Sweden and Finland. All they can say is they are from the early 19th century and astonishingly well-preserved. I was among 20 people invited to the tasting in Mariehamn, the capital of the island group. We were given a choice between two bottles: a Veuve Clicquot or a Juglar, a now defunct champagne house. “Easy,” I thought. “The Juglar doesn’t exist anymore. Got to try it.” I raised a wine glass containing about an inch (a few centimeters) of champagne, tiny pieces of cork and very little fizz. A mushroomy flavor soon gave way to sweet notes of honey. It tasted like a sugary desert wine. That’s not unexpected — Champagne in the 19th century was a lot sweeter than it is today. A standard bottle of Champagne now has about 9 grams of sugar, said Stephane Gerschel, a

People view sample bottles of ancient Champagne salvaged from a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea, on display in Mariehamn, Finland, on Wednesday. Some 30 bottles were salvaged by divers in July 2010 from a 200-year-old shipwreck near the waters of Aland Islands, and some sample bottles were opened on Wednesday.

spokesman for Veuve Clicquot, founded in 1772. In the 1830s, the house used more than 100 grams of sugar per bottle — and even that wasn’t sweet enough for some. “In Russia, the trend was to serve Champagne with a spoonful of sugar,” Gerschel said. Tastes have dramatically changed since then, and some contemporary Champagnes are now lauded for their bone-dry finish. At least three of the 11 bottles opened so far from the Baltic wreckage have “with absolute certainty” been identified as Veuve Clicquot, the company said. The bottles don’t have labels but experts could tell they were Veuve Clicquot by the branding of the corks, which featured a comet — added to pay tribute to one that crossed the skies of Champagne in 1811 “and was rumored to be the cause of a harvest of remarkable quality.” The shipwreck was dis-

covered in July near the Aland Islands by a group of divers. Researchers say the ship was probably en route from northern Germany to the west coast of Finland with its prestigious cargo when it sank, sometime in the second quarter of the 19th century. It’s not hard to grasp why it went down here. From the air these waters look almost unnavigable, littered with hundreds of skerries and islets, some barely breaking the black sur face. One can only imagine the treacherous rocks hiding underneath. “All bottles are not intact but the majority are in good condition,” said Britt Lundeberg, Aland’s culture minister. After a presentation of the diving operation, an archaeologist wearing white gloves presented the two bottles to champagne specialist Richard Juhlin, who sampled both in front of scores of journalists. “Great! Wonderful!” he exclaimed. Then he paused,

soaking in the flavors. “What strikes you the most is that it’s such an intense aroma,” he continued. “It’s so different from anything you’ve tasted before.” He found hues of chanterelles, honey, orange and peach in the Juglar; linden blossoms and lime peels in the Veuve Clicquot. Champagne loses its fizz over time as minute amounts of gas gradually pass through the porous cork. In this case most of the gas was probably lost due to pressure changes when the divers raised the bottles, Juhlin said. Some of the bottles will be sold by the Aland gover nment, which owns them, at an auction, where Juhlin said they could fetch more than $70,000 apiece. Bottles that are not expected to last may be mixed with newer Champagne to create a fresh blend. The government will hold on to five bottles as archaeological artifacts.

Corruption charges disturb residents in Md. county Roswell Daily Record

BOWIE, Md. (AP) — In two years, Prince George’s County residents have seen a for mer schools superintendent sent to prison and corruption charges brought against a senior state senator and the county executive and his wife. The last case is the stuf f of movies or late-night TV jokes: County Executive Jack Johnson and his wife were arrested Nov. 12 after he allegedly accepted $15,000 from a developer and federal investigators tapping his phone reportedly heard him tell her to flush a $100,000 check down the toilet and hide $79,600 in her bra. The string of scandals has left residents angry, frustrated and wondering who will be next. Maryland U.S. Attor ney Rod Rosenstein described their arrests as “the tip of the iceberg.” “A lot of the problems with the county have been the ’pay-for play’ thing — that a lot of reputable stores just don’t want to deal with it,” said longtime county resident Linda Baker, 64, as she shopped at a strip mall this week. “Both my husband and I are retired, and we just don’t want to be here anymore.” But Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, whose district includes much of the county, said the federal investigation could lead to a new beginning, as longfestering problems come to the surface. “I don’t see it af fecting the county adversely in the sense that I think there’s going to be more indictments and I think there will be a sigh of relief that this has come to a head and that the proper authorities are dealing with it and that the county can now move forward,” said Miller, a political lion who has been the state Senate president since 1987. Prince George’s, a suburb of Washington, D.C., is the nation’s wealthiest majority-black county,

according to the census. The county, which has about 834,000 residents, is 66 percent black with a median annual household income of $71,696. The county has been dogged by controversies involving its police department — which had an unusually high rate of officer involved fatal shootings in the 1990s — and its gover nment leaders. Audrey Scott, a former County Council member who chairs the Maryland Republican Party, said she used to hear about officials expecting developers to go beyond what was required to, say, build a playground or refurbish a senior citizens center. “There were certain elected officials who felt that developers owed something more — above and beyond what was required in the zoning application process, in

the per mitting process,” said Scott, who ran unsuccessfully for county executive against Johnson in 2002. The FBI affidavit in the Johnson case describes a bizarre series of events in which Johnson placed a call to his wife, Leslie, after he was confronted by FBI agents about the $15,000 payment. With FBI agents at the door of the couple’s Mitchellville home and investigators listening in on their phone conversation, the affidavit says, Johnson told his wife (a county council member-elect) to flush a $100,000 check from a real estate developer down the toilet and to hide nearly $80,000 in cash. “Put it in your bra and walk out or something,” Johnson reportedly told his wife. She did as advised, according to the FBI, and agents recovered the money

The divers originally said the bottles were believed to be from the 1780s but experts later dated the champagne to the early 19th century. The exact years have not been established. French champagne house Perrier -Jouet, a subsidiary of Per nod Ricard, has earlier stated that their vintage from 1825 is the oldest recorded champagne still in existence. After a presentation of the diving operation, an archaeologist wearing white gloves presented one bottle of Juglar and another of Veuve Clicquot to expert Richard Juhlin, who sampled both in front of scores of journalists. “I think what strikes you the most is that it’s such an intense aroma,” he said. “It’s so different from anything you’ve

They both face 20 years in prison. He says he is innocent of the charges. Leslie Johnson’s attorney said she is asking for prayers and support “through the ordeal of fighting to disprove the allegations that are pending against her now.” Authorities said the investigation was initiated in January 2006 after FBI agents learned about allegations of real estate developers offering rewards to county officials in exchange for personal and business favors. The investigation expanded this past week when nine more people were indicted, including three county police officers. Two offi-

cers were charged with conspiring to commit extortion in a scheme to sell untaxed cigarettes and alcohol. While those indictments don’t mention Johnson, federal prosecutors have said they are related and that they are determined to root out corruption in the county. Some residents can only shake their heads when asked about the scandal, walking away and muttering words like “depressing” without saying anything more. Johnson, a Democrat, now comes to work as the county’s chief executive near the end of his second term with an electronic monitoring device. His term ends Dec. 6, when he will be succeeded by a Democrat who had twice run against him unsuccessfully. In a hastily called news conference meant to reassure county residents, Rushern Baker said he would remain focused on the kitchen-table issues that people care about — job growth, transitoriented development, health care and school reform. He also called for an ethics reform package, including the first county inspector general, a ban on county credit cards for elected officials and tighter campaign finance regulations. Marva Henry, who lived in Prince George’s County for 29 years and only recently moved away, said she questions why prosecutors seem to focus on African-American officials. Her husband, Winston, also expressed frustration that prosecutors seem to be focusing more on Prince George’s County than other localities. But both said they were angry at Johnson over the allegations.

Lanvin’s Elbaz brings a touch of Paris to H&M

MARIEHAMN, Finland (AP) — They say a good wine matures with age. But does champagne lose its sparkle after nearly two centuries under water? An expert who tasted the vintage bubbly billed as the world’s oldest drinkable champagne was lyrical Wednesday, detecting hints of chanterelles and linden blossom. The champagne — of the brands Veuve Clicquot and the now defunct Juglar — was recovered from a shipwreck discovered in July near the Aland Islands, between Sweden and Finland. A total of 168 bottles were raised in the salvage operation, officials of the semiautonomous Finnish archipelago told reporters on Wednesday. “All bottles are not intact but the majority are in good condition,” said Britt Lundeberg,

tasted before.” About 20 other people, including an AP reporter, were also given a chance to sample one of the two bottles. The dominant flavors were yeast and mushrooms, with sweet undertones of honey. Veuve Clicquot confirmed that experts analyzing the branding of the corks “were able to identify with absolute certainty” that at least three of the recovered bottles were Veuve Clicquot. The champagne house, founded in 1772, said the branding featured a comet, added to pay tribute to one that crossed the skies of Champagne in 1811 “and was rumored to be the cause of a harvest of remarkable quality.” Francois Hautekeur, of a winemaking team, described the champagne as “a toasted, zesty.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Alber Elbaz’s beads, bows and very French poufs played well in New York as he previewed a glitzy version of the much-anticipated Lanvin collection for H&M that will be in stores this weekend. He didn’t hold back on glamour or attitude even though for many mainstream consumers this will be the first time they see a Lanvin label, a favorite of fashion insiders since Elbaz took over the house in 2001. The small fashion show Thursday night at the Pierre Hotel drew actress Emma Roberts, director Sofia Coppola and designers Anna Sui, Tory Burch, Alexander Wang, and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, among others. There was a cabaret singer, an elaborately painted runway and archway of white flowers, rare theatrical touches for a Manhattan runway, which is typically known as the no-nonsense sister of the dramatic Parisian catwalk. The collection opened with a gray tulle dress with a bow at the bustline, and it ended with a model in a Lanvin (hearts) H&M dress, carrying — you guessed it — Lanvin (hearts) H&M — shopping bags.

Between those looks were skinny-leg tuxedos, a lipstick red cocktail dress, a faux fur coatdress topped by a similar coat and a French maid get-up. All were customized couture versions of what will be on sale at H&M; the runway pieces will be auctioned for Unicef. One model accessorized her one-shoulder hot pink frock with a French poodle wearing a complementary bow. “It’s fantastic, of course. He (Elbaz) is such a great designer — so influential,” said Margareta van den Bosch, creative adviser for H&M. “What he wanted to do with this collection is make it more playful, less serious and less classic.” She already has in her closet one of the menswear tuxedos and a woman’s overcoat. “I have some of the accessories, too, but not the shoes. I can’t walk in those high heels.” The prices are on the high side for H&M — up to $250 for a dress — but that’s a bargain for Elbaz’s work, she said. Collaborations aren’t new for mass retailer H&M: Previous partners include Stella McCartney, Sonia Rykiel and Karl Lagerfeld.

When the weather is warm, I love having my shades up and my windows open. My daughter enjoys the fresh air, so she’s out in the yard often. Because of this, some of my neighbors — possibly bored — take it upon themselves to “pop in” for a visit when they see we’re home. I don’t invite them over, and I don’t want company. This happens more than once a day with the same people. I have tried making excuses (“I’m in the middle of something,” “I’m cooking dinner,” “I have company”), but it doesn’t work. I have also said, “We’re just getting ready to leave,” but it soon becomes obvious that we weren’t going anywhere. People have gotten mad and they now label me a “snob” — among other things.

Oil spill claims process needs transparency

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Justice Department is urging the administrator of the $20 billion fund for Gulf oil spill claims to show greater transparency about the process so the victims can feel they are being treated fairly. Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli said in a letter to Ken Feinberg on Friday night that this is a critical time for the claims fund as it transitions from initial emergency payments to paying interim and final claims. Perrelli says he continues to have concerns about the pace of the claims process. Feinberg told The Associated Press on Saturday he has paid out roughly $2 billion already. He described the payments as generous, but agrees there is room for improvement.

NM home sales, prices drop in October

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A Realtors group says home sales in New Mexico dropped by seven percent in October from a month earlier. The median price of homes sold also dropped by nearly three percent from September to $175,000. The sales and price figures were released late Friday by the Realtors Association of New Mexico. Executive vice president Steven Anaya says the numbers in New Mexico mirror national trends. Year-over-year sales figures were even less encouraging, with sales dropping more than 32 percent in October from the same month in 2009. The biggest yearly drops were in major metropolitan markets around Albuquerque, Clovis, Las Cruces, Ruidoso, Gallup and Santa Fe. Those markets saw sales decline by 35 to 40 percent. Total yearly sales in the state are running only slightly below 2009 numbers.

Health group restricts flavored cigarettes

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Public health officials around the world have agreed to recommend restricting or banning flavor additives that make cigarettes more palatable to new smokers. Delegates from 171 countries that have signed on to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control have agreed to the new guidelines, and also said tobacco producers should be required to disclose their ingredients to health authorities.

NEW YORK (AP) — Federal authorities are examining whether multiple insider-trading rings reaped illegal profits totaling tens of millions of dollars, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter. The three-year criminal and civil investigation could result in charges by the end of the year, the Journal reported. A federal grand jury in New York has heard evidence, the paper said. Since the investigation isn’t finished, it’s unclear what charges, if any, may be brought. One focus of the criminal investigation is whether independent analysts and consultants who work for companies that provide “expert network” services to hedge funds and mutual funds passed along nonpublic infor mation, the Jour nal reported. Such companies set up meetings and calls between current and former managers and traders who want an investing edge. The newspaper said one firm under examination is Primary Global Research LLC of Mountain View, Calif., which connects experts with investors seek-

ing information in the technology, health care and other industries. Chief Operating Of ficer Phani Kumar Saripella declined to comment to the Journal. The fir m’s website says Saripella and the fir m’s CEO previously worked for Intel Corp. Prosecutors and regulators are also examining whether bankers from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. leaked information about transactions, including health-care mergers, to the benefit of certain investors, the Jour nal reported, based on anonymous sources. Goldman declined to comment to the newspaper. The examination includes independent analysts and research boutiques. John Kinnucan, a principal at Broadband Research LLC in Portland, Ore., described a visit by FBI agents in an Oct. 26 email to roughly 20 hedgefund and mutual-fund clients. The Journal said Kinnucan confirmed that he wrote the e-mail, which was addressed to traders at firms including the hedge funds SAC Capital Advisors LP and Citadel Asset Management, and mutual-fund

companies Janus Capital Group, Wellington Management Co. and MFS Investment Management. None of the firms commented to the Journal, and it isn’t known whether they are under investigation for their business with Kinnucan. The investigations have been conducted by the FBI, federal prosecutors in New York, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ellen Davis, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attor ney’s Office and SEC spokesman John Nester declined to comment. A call to the FBI wasn’t immediately returned. The probe is also examining whether traders at some hedge funds and trading firms gained nonpublic information about upcoming health-care, technology and other mergers, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The SEC investigation includes potential leaks on takeover deals going back to at least 2007. Last fall the SEC subpoenaed more than 30 hedge funds and other investors, the Journal said.

Irish, EU and IMF confront marathon talks for loan deal

DUBLIN (AP) — As EU experts dug through the books of Ireland’s debt-crippled banks, the question moved from whether Ireland will take an international bailout to under what conditions. On the firing line was Ireland’s prized low business tax, which the government says has lured 1,000 multinationals to Ireland over the past decade — but which it may have to give up to satisfy conditions of being rescued. The Irish rescue is the latest act in Europe’s yearlong drama to prevent mounting debts and deficits from overwhelming the weakest members of the 16nation eurozone. Greece was saved from bankruptcy in May, and analysts say Portugal could be next in line after Ireland for an EU-IMF lifeboat. Officials on all sides cautioned that the Dublin talks could stretch into early December, after Ireland gives more clarity on its plans by publishing a four-year outline for slashing 15 billion ($20.5 billion) from its deficit — forecast this year to reach a stupendous 32 percent of economic output. The Irish government said the plan, to include 4.5 billion in cuts and 1.5 billion in new taxes for 2011 alone, will be published by Tuesday — but won’t include any change to its 12.5 percent rate of corporate tax, among the lowest in Europe. Officials in Germany, France, Britain and Austria argue Ireland should be prepared to raise that rate to help pay off its debts. They say it’s not fair for Ireland to receive aid from EU partners while simultaneously sticking to a tax policy that amounts to unfair competition. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, asked about Ireland’s options during a news con-

ference at Saturday’s NATO summit in Portugal, hinted that Dublin might consider a corporate tax increase. “It goes without saying that when facing up to a situation like this, there are two levers to activate: spending and (tax) revenue. I can’t imagine that our Irish friends, in all sovereignty, won’t use these, because they have more wiggle room than others — what with their taxes lower than others’,” he said. “It’s not a request, it’s a just an opinion,” added Sarkozy, noting that EU bailout guidelines didn’t require tax increases from countries that receive aid from bloc partners. Ireland says the low tax policy is an essential anchor for keeping employers who generate a fifth of Ireland’s gross domestic product and provide the healthiest stream of tax revenue. Finance Minister Brian Lenihan, speaking ahead of Friday’s talks, said the defense of the 12.5 percent rate was “a red line” that Ireland would not allow the IMF to cross. For Lenihan and Prime Minister Brian Cowen, the low corporate tax is one of the few points of unity with Ireland’s opposition Fine Gael party. Giving it up might be the death sentence for Cowen’s government, whose approval ratings are languishing at 11 percent. Ireland’s hand has been forced by a recent run on deposits at Irish banks, which are already receiving a minimum 45 billion bailout. Allied Irish Banks said Friday it has lost 13 billion ($18 billion), or 17 percent, of its total deposit base since June. It announced plans to sell 6.6 billion ($9.05 billion) in new shares next month, likely taking the government’s stake in the bank from 18 percent to above 90 percent.

Tuna tussle: How much fishing is too much?

AP Photo

Environmental activists of Greenpeace block the main entrance of the Agriculture and Fishery ministry in Paris, Wednesday, Nov. 10. Sticker reads : Save Me.

PARIS (AP) — It’s succulent and soughtafter, a prized fish with a steep price: A single bite of Atlantic bluefin tuna can sell for more than $20 in Tokyo sushi restaurants. But that demand has led to overfishing, and environmentalists say the world needs to act now to save the species at a meeting that started Wednesday in Paris. Representatives from 48 countries are preparing to set fishing quotas for the Atlantic bluefin, which swims waters from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean and which conservation group WWF says is “on the brink of extinction.” Environmentalists are pressing for dramatic cuts to the current annual quota of 13,500 metric tons in the Mediterranean, where they say fraud and overfishing is rampant. Some are even demanding a suspension of bluefin fishing entirely at the

meeting, which runs until Nov. 27. Conservationists say the tracking system is full of holes and that scientists don’t have decent enough data to make an informed recommendation about what the quota should be. The bluefin is the “poster child for mismanagement,” Susan Lieberman, director of international policy for the Pew Environment Group, told The Associated Press. She said the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, or ICCAT, the body that regulates bluefin fishing and is meeting in Paris, has been largely to blame, letting the situation get out of control. “There’s tremendous fraud and cheating going on, and it’s time to really recognize it and do the right thing so the fish can recover,” said Lieberman, who is sitting in on the Paris meetings and wants fishing of

the species suspended entirely for now. Sergi Tudela, who heads the fisheries program for WWF Mediterranean, called ICCAT the “laughing stock on the world stage of fisheries management.” ICCAT’s chairman, Fabio Hazin, says the commission emerged several years ago from what he calls its “dark ages” — when it would ignore scientists’ recommendations as it set fishing quotas. He said this time ICCAT will follow advice from its scientific committee, which suggested a quota of anywhere from 0 to 13,500 metric tons. “The commission might prefer some more precautionary levels, let’s say 10,000 tons for example, to allow for possible catches that might not be declared,” he told The AP, adding that even a suspension of fishing was possible. “What’s going to be the prevailing position, it’s impossible to say,” Hazin said. Most discussion has focused on the Mediterranean: Bluefin stocks on the U.S. side of the Atlantic crashed years ago and are already tightly controlled, with a quota of only 1,800 metric tons annually. However, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico — a spawning ground for bluefin — has raised new concerns. France, which is hosting the meeting and which has a large fishing industry, wants to see the status quo prevail. Amid disagreement among members, the European Union has not yet announced a common position for the meeting, where officials will also discuss other ways beyond quotas to manage and conserve the species. Hazin said one possible scenario is suspending a technique in which fishing boats use nets to trap mass quantities of bluefin to supply to fattening farms. Environmental groups want an end to that practice, known as purse seine fishing, and they also want sanctuaries declared in bluefin spawning grounds. Protection of sharks, often a by-catch in tuna fishing, is another worry. ICCAT is under extra pressure following

an international fight about whether to ban all trade of Atlantic bluefin tuna. Member countries of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora rejected a proposal to do so at a meeting in Qatar in March. Opposition to the idea was spearheaded by Japan, which buys nearly 80 percent of the annual Atlantic bluefin catch. Topgrade sushi with fatty bluefin can go for as much as $24 a piece in high-end Tokyo restaurants.

The book cover image released by Random House Children's Books, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, by Barack Obama.

Obama pens kids book NEW YORK (AP) — He’s the leader of the free world, and he’s won a Nobel Peace Prize. But only now, by one measure, is Barack Obama finally truly famous: he’s written a children’s book. With Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, a picture book for readers three and up that hit bookstores Tuesday (it was announced in September), the president joins a long list of famous folk who’ve penned children’s books: Madonna, John Travolta, Katie Couric, Will Smith. Paul McCartney, Whoopi Goldberg, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jay Leno. Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, John Lithgow. Obama, who is donating his proceeds to a scholarship fund for children of disabled and fallen soldiers, isn’t even the only president to pen a children’s book. Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter wrote books for young people, and John F. Kennedy had a young readers edition of his Profiles in Courage. Obama actually wrote Of Thee I Sing in 2008, after he was elected but before taking office, publishers said in September. It is illustrated by Loren Long, whose many credits include writing and illustrating the children’s stories Otis and Drummer Boy. The book, published by Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books, was already selling well Tuesday — it was No. 3 on Amazon.com’s children’s best-seller list, and No. 15 on the site’s overall list. “Have I told you lately how wonderful you are?” the book begins. It proceeds to celebrate 13 American heroes and heroines. The 40-page Of Thee I Sing, with a list price of $17.99, is part of a $1.9 million, three-book deal with Random House reached in 2004, according to a disclosure report filed in 2005, when Obama was a U.S. senator from Illinois. The other two books were nonfiction.

(AP) — Amy Sedaris grew up making crafts, but that doesn’t mean she has to like them. “I hate crafts,” Sedaris said with an upbeat grin as she kicked off a book tour to promote Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People, the tongue-in-cheek guide she wrote with collaborator Paul Dinello. With her trademark humor, Sedaris roasts the 1970sera earnestness often associated with crafting, with chapters such as “Crafting for Jesus” and “Teenagers Have a Lot of Pain.” But she also offers plenty of inventive ideas, and conveys warmth and knowledge about her subject. Sedaris grew up making crafts in North Carolina with her family, including her brother, the humor writer David Sedaris. “At Christmas, we would make all of our ornaments out of papier-mache and Styrofoam balls and things like that,” she said. She continued to craft throughout her teens as a Girl Scout and member of Junior Achievement, selling handmade items door-to-door. “My whole life is about making stuff,” Sedaris said. “I still have that attitude. I just like the transaction.” Still, after a year of incessant crafting for the book, the only project she still can stand is weaving simple pot holders out of cotton loops. “I make those when I’m on an airplane or when I’m watching TV because it prevents me from biting my fingernails,” she said. “I sell them when I’m traveling. “ Sedaris, a TV and movie actress perhaps best known

for her Comedy Central series “Strangers with Candy,” is also a baker who has sold homemade cupcakes and cheese balls out of bakeries and coffee shops in New York. (She now makes them rarely, upon request.) The idea for a crafting book grew out of her previous book, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, a humorous guide to entertaining, published in 2006. It ended with “a crafts section, and I didn’t have much room for it,” she said. “So I had in the back of my head that maybe one day I’ll do a crafts book.” Sedaris spent a year coming up with quirky chapter themes, such as crafts for people with various handicaps (“Handicraftible”); those with anger issues, for instance, are encouraged to distress a wooden box with a pair of scissors, “randomly stabbing it like you would a lover who has spurned you.” A section on nature crafts offers instructions on making a worm composting bin, and a fire ornament made with toilet paper rolls and tissue paper, as well as nature-inspired recipes for mint juleps and stuffed mushrooms.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Publish November 21, 2010 IN THE MATTER OF SOUTHWESTERN PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY’S APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF ITS 2010/11 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND LOAD MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ASSOCIATED PROGRAMS, REQUESTED VARIANCES, AND COST RECOVERY TARIFF RIDER

1. On October 1, 2010, SPS filed its Application for Approval of Modified 2011 Plan which requests that the Commission, among other things (i) accept its 2011 Energy Efficiency and Load Management Plan Compliance Report; (ii) approve its modified 2011 Energy Efficiency and Load Management 2011 Plan (“2011 Plan”); and (iii) approve and authorize SPS’s recovery of its modified 2011 Plan costs through its proposed tariff rider. For its 2011 Residential Segment programs, SPS proposes (i) minor modifications to its Electric Water Heating, Home Lighting, Low Income, Refrigerator Recycling, Saver’s Switch, and School Education Kits Programs; (ii) significant modifications to the Home Energy Services Program; and (iii) a new Consumer Behavior Program. For its 2011 Business Segment Programs, SPS proposes (i) minor modifications to the Custom Efficiency, Cooling Efficiency, Lighting Efficiency, Motor and Drive Efficiency, and Saver’s Switch Programs; and (ii) significant modifications to the Interruptible Credit Option and Small Business Lighting Programs. 2. The New Mexico Efficient Use of Energy Act allows a utility that undertakes cost-effective energy efficiency and load management programs to recover its prudent and reasonable costs along with Commission-approved incentives for demand-side resources and load management programs through an approved tariff rider or in base rates. SPS proposes in this case to recover, through an Energy Efficiency Rider, (i) the $10,730,358 budget for the 2011 Plan; and (ii) costs for the removal of disincentives to energy efficiency and load management programs plus incentives (totaling $3.3 million). 3. Listed below are the present and proposed per kilowatt-hour (“kWh”) rates in SPS’s Energy Efficiency Rider for each affected customer class: Proposed Rider ($/kWh) $0.003931

ting to the bottom of a problem. In some areas you feel blocked, especially at home or when dealing with a domestic issue. You cannot seem to say the right thing. Your fiery nature comes out, which it rarely does. Tonight: Get some much-needed R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A meeting could prove to be a source of support and ideas. Zero in on key points. You might have difficulty verbalizing your appreciation right now. Do your best, and others will get it. Tonight: Avoid a conflict between friends and a loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others expect you to lead and take a stand. You might feel limited in some way and might prefer not to take a leadership role. Know what is good for you, and respond accordingly. Is someone feisty on the home front? Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You seem to be closing down rather than reaching out. Force yourself across the line. An angry remark or careless statement could cause a lot of trouble. Pick and choose your words with care. Tonight: Let your mind relax to music or a movie. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Relate to a partner or associates directly — that is, if you want to get results. A sense of foreboding undermines a clear, direct statement on your part. Just know your limits. Tonight: Listen to the offers first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You feel perkier than you have in a long time. The Sun moves into your sign, heralding your birthday period. Be direct in how you approach situations, knowing full well you can have what you want. Claim your power, but avoid short, curt words. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are not a sign that needs to spill the beans. In fact, you process whatever ails you first before saying anything. Emphasize what must be done, and refuse to be sidetracked. Others will follow your lead. Tonight: If you want to make a lifestyle change, think about it for a while. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have one answer after the other. Someone might think you are showing off, but actually, you are trying to be helpful. Express your thoughts so that others can grasp where you are coming from. Tonight: Having fun with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Head home early today. It would be best to take the day off. A partner or dear friend has been having a very difficult time. Indulge this person by listening well and perhaps suggesting unthought-of alternatives. Tonight: Your home is your castle. BORN TODAY Actress Mariel Hemingway (1961), actress Jamie Lee Curtis (1958), tennis player Billie Jean King (1943)
