Dont forget about the UFO hovering over a gray sky.

And, of course, the myriad colored hot-air balloons that take to the rich, blue sky during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

These are a few of the symbols that five Rio Grande High School students used to illustrate New Mexico in a mural that will be sent to a school in Kenya.

The kids have said that they are sending a part of New Mexico to Africa, says Marci Ponce de Leon, a retired school teacher. The kids came up with all the concepts for the mural, and Im really proud of them.

Ponce de Leon was the mastermind behind the idea for the mural, but the group, made up of Ray De La O, Ashlyn Ibuado, Shannon Jones, Ana Oaxaca and Angel Pavia, was the catalyst for its execution.

Each one of these students put in a lot of time to the project, Ponce de Leon said. They worked on it every other day and came in on their lunch breaks to get it done. They were determined to finish.

Ponce de Leon will travel with Legacy Church starting June 13 and bring supplies to two villages in Kenya. The mural will hang in a schoolhouse in one of the villages.

You will never figure him out.

Everybody around the Red Wings says that about Nicklas Lidstrom. Tell them you want to get inside the mind of Lidstrom -- to understand his genius, to see what he sees. They laugh or shake their heads.

"It's impossible to know how he can think that good," coach Mike Babcock said.

Impossible?

"He's Picasso," general manager Ken Holland said. "They think differently. It's a gift."

OK, fine. Let's just observe. Sit in the stands. Watch Lidstrom. Come back and watch again, and again and again, and ... well, admit it: You see nothing. You know you are watching one of the best players in hockey history. But he looks like just another good player to you.

It's not your fault. Lidstrom doesn't do anything spectacular. He just does everything right. He makes the right pass. He reads the play properly. He knows what opponents will do before they do, and he stops them from doing it.

But the closer you stand to genius, the easier it is to see. Often, in the middle of games, the Red Wings elbow each other in disbelief: Did you see what Nick just did? He will slide along the blue line and knock down a puck, or he'll be surrounded by three players and he will pass the puck off the wall and it will ricochet directly to the tape on a teammate's stick.

"There are so many times, you're on the bench, you just look at each other and go, 'Wow,' " fellow defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "He's sort of the dad playing with kids. He makes it look so simple out there."

Flamin’ Hot: The Best Red Heads of All Time

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The golfers playing this weekend's Principal Charity Classic caught a bit of a break.

Senior PGA Championship winner Roger Chapman and points leader Michael Allen didn't make the trip to Iowa.

Chapman, the Englishman who stunned the field with a two-stroke win at Harbor Shores in Michigan last weekend, will play in Spain this week following his first career Champions Tour win. Allen, the only Champions player with a pair of wins in 2012, is playing in a U.S. Open qualifier in California.

Chapman and Allen are about only big names not in the field for this weekend's tournament at Glen Oaks Country Club, which is sandwiched between a pair of majors as the circuit heads to Birmingham next week.

"It's all about winning and giving yourself those opportunities, and certainly the non-major weeks, you have to play well," said John Cook, who is 134 points behind Allen and in second place. "This would be a good week to catch up with (Allen) a little bit."

Perhaps the two most intriguing players in the field are the ones directly below Chapman; Bernhard Langer and Kenny Perry.

Langer was the leading money winner on the Champions Tour from 2008-10 but struggled through an injury-plagued 2011. He has six top-10 finishes in eight starts and a pair of second-place finishes this year. He finished 11th in his only start at Glen Oaks two years ago.

Perry rallied with a 9-under 62 in his final round last week, matching the lowest round ever in a senior major. Perry has three top-10 finishes in seven starts and won at TwinEagles in Naples, Fla., in February.

"I like how I'm hitting the golf ball right now. I'm still struggling with my putting, that's nothing new. That's been the history of my career," Perry said. "This week will all boil down to how I putt."

Champions Tour heads to Iowa minus Allen, Chapman

MIAMI (AP) - Tropical Depression Beryl is heading back toward the ocean as it brings rain to South Carolina. The depression's maximum sustained winds increased early Wednesday to near 35 mph. Additional strengthening is expected and the U.S. National Hurricane Center says Beryl could regain tropical storm strength later in the day.

South Georgia farmers hoped that Beryl would give their crops a good soaking, helping replenish ground water and ponds after high temperatures and drought. Widespread heavy rain falls did not happen though; WALB studiosonly measured 13/100ths of an inch of rainfrom Beryl.

But Beryl is expected to dump up to 6 inches of rain, with isolated amounts of 8 inches, in northeastern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina. The depression is centered about 25 miles north-northeast of Charleston, S.C., and is moving east-northeast near 14 mph. On that track, forecasters say the depression's expected to skim along the South Carolina coast before moving back over the Atlantic.

Beryl was raising hopes in the Okefenokee Swamp that boat and canoe traffic could get back to normal with higher water levels. The Florida Times-Union reports that within the past three days, three rain gauges in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge had recorded rainfall totals of 3.75 inches to nearly 6 inches.

On May 24, the swamp was at 118.68 feet above sea level at the refuge headquarters but 119.14 feet Tuesday with rain still falling. Arthur Webster, supervisory ranger at the refuge, said he'd like to see the water level reach 120 feet. He said the extra foot would allow the refuge to reopen some canoe trails and allow the refuge get its trail cutter into canals to clear them of vegetation so boats can get through.

The National Park Service says Cumberland Island National Seashore will remain closed to visitors until the weekend to give rangers time to clean up after Tropical Storm Beryl. Fred Boyles, the island's superintendent, said Wednesday that downed trees and other debris still need to be cleared before the coastal Georgia island re-opens to tourists Saturday.

Cumberland Island has been closed to visitors since Sunday afternoon, when rangers evacuated all campers and day-trippers to the mainland well ahead of the tropical storm's landfall at nearby Jacksonville, Fla. Cumberland Island is a federally protected wilderness area reachable only by boat. The island off Georgia's southeast corner gets about 43,500 visitors each year.

Rob Penney coaching during a Tasman Buccaneers v Cantabrians Selection game at the Takahanga Domain in Kaikoura last year

When Rob Penney leaves New Zealand rugby next month to coach Munster he can look back with pride on what he's achieved, on and off the field, over a long and distinguished career.

Having guided Canterbury to four successive division one NPC titles, he's achieved all he can at present in New Zealand rugby because, for reasons known only to themselves, the New Zealand Rugby Union has overlooked him for several Super Rugby head coaching roles.

Uninformed people might think coaching a team like Canterbury is a plum job with so many of the country's best players available, but that has not been the case.

With a high turnover of players in the modern game and the All Blacks rarely available for their provinces, Penney has almost had to re-invent the wheel - over the last four years in particular. Add in the trauma of the disastrous earthquakes and his achievements are even more meritorious.

Far from complain about situations, Penney has always been a man who likes a challenge and bears no grudge against the NZRU for overlooking him for higher honours.

"I just love coaching. I love seeing the growth and development of young men and assisting them to achieve their goals. I've been really fortunate in the support I've had around me at Canterbury. Hamish Riach and the board in particular have been really supportive of me as a coach.

"I've had my name in the hat for a couple of [Super Rugby] positions and they haven't seen me as the right fit. As a coach I really hope I'm coaching for the right reasons. They either want me or they don't and they haven't wanted me so I'm just fortunate now I've got a position at Munster."

As for Canterbury being an easy coaching job, Penney scoffed at that. "A lot of people looking from the outside in have that view. They would be amazed if they were inside it, the transition that's occurred among the players. Only Sean Maitland is left now for this season from four years ago. The transition and the age of the players. We had an average age last year of just under 22.

CD Projekt Red releases teaser image for upcoming role-playing game hinting at futuristic setting with guns; full announcement slated for tomorrow.

The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red has offered a glimpse into the company's future. Today, the Polish studio released a concept image for a new mystery AAA role-playing game in development at the company, hinting that project may be set in the future.

The image (at right) depicts a man wielding a futuristic-looking handgun and wearing eyeglasses boasting some sort of computerized heads-up display.

Other details are not available, but gamers won't have to wait long to know what CD Projekt Red is up to. The company will broadcast its annual Summer Conference tomorrow on its Facebook page at 1 p.m. EDT, where the project will be announced in earnest.

Speculation about new projects at CD Projekt Red was sparked earlier this month when job listings at the studio revealed the firm was at work two new role-playing games, one of which would be an entirely new intellectual property. The other game is to be set in a "mature dark-fantasy world," and may be a follow-up to 2011's much-praised The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

LONDON, May 29 (UPI) -- A European contribution to the James Webb Space Telescope left London Heathrow airport Tuesday bound for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, officials said.

The Mid Infra-Red Instrument (Miri) was flown on a British Airways jet bound for Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia, the BBC reported.

The Webb telescope will be the successor to the Hubble orbiting observatory and aims to track down the very first stars to shine in the Universe with Miri, built by a pan-European consortium, playing a central role in the quest to identify that "first light," officials said.

Miri will be taken to Goddard where it will be unpacked Wednesday and integrated into the telescope structure prior to further testing.

For the flight to Washington the instrument was placed in an air-freight container -- with a few extras features.

"Miri's box is a standard environment-controlled air-freight container, but we built a special structure inside to hold this incredibly valuable instrument," Piyal Samara-Ratna, a mechanical engineer from Leicester University overseeing the transfer, said.

"It's impossible to insure something like Miri, which represents the time and effort of so many people in Europe and the United States."

Cannes Film Festival 2012 Red Carpet

A ceremony in the Saline River bottoms on Monday afternoon marked the offical dedication of the Longview-Saline Natural Area as part of the state's system of natural areas.

Ashley County native and Gov. Mike Beebe's chief of staff Morril Harriman joined Chris Colclasure of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission and Arkansas State Forester-designate Joe Fox in signing the agreement.

About 50 people braved the moderately warm weather and the extremely hungry multitude of mosquitos for the ceremony about a quarter mile off the gravel road in the woods of the natural area.

Scott Simon, director of The Nature Conservancy in Arkansas, in opening the program noted that the pine flatwoods eco system is an important foundation for Arkansas' economy but also a "whole host of rare habitats found nowhere else in the world other than in Arkansas and a little bit in Louisiana." He said that preserving the land happened "because you all have decided to work together on a place like this." The result of the efforts is "basically creating a string of beautiful pearls across South Arkansas," Simon said, "and that's what we are here to celebrate today."

Those local funds, Smith said, are special because with threatened species, the local funds can leverage millions of federal dollars.

Jennifer Akin, a conservation biologist with the Natural Heritage Commission, said that ecologically, "this place is very rare." She noted that the natural area protects three miles of the Saline River, one of the most species rich rivers in the state. The project will protect nine mussel types, she said, three of which are federally endangered. Mussels are one of the most unprotected species, she noted. The area also has habitat for the red cockaded woodpecker, another federally endangered species.

Akin said that the pine areas like the Longview-Saline area have been the second least protected type of woodland. She said that the area will be "a large pearl: connecting other areas such as the Warren Prairie and Felsenthal. Longview-Saline is a stepping stone in conservation, she said, part of a conservation corridor from northern Louisiana to central Arkansas.

Bryan Rupar of Natural Heritage thanked Molpus Timberlands for the company's cooperation noting that transactions like the Longview-Saline area could not take place "without all these partners working together." He also introduced Ricky Chastain of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission who said that the area will be open for hunting.

In introducing Harriman, Simon said that one of the things that the people can be proudest of in Arkansas is how they are led, citing Harriman and Gov. Beebe.

In his comments, Harriman recalled fishing in the Saline River and hunting in the Saline River bottoms while he was growing up as well as Sunday afternoon trips to the Ozment's Bluff swimming hole on the river.

Bangkok, May 29 (Xinhua-ANI): About 3,000 police will be deployed to secure law and order on Wednesday when the Yellow Shirts will rally against the government-backed reconciliation bill while the Red Shirts will take the street to support the bill, the national police chief Pol Gen Priewpan Damapong said Tuesday.

Metropolitan Police earlier planned to deploy some 600 police but after Pol Gen Priewpan had a meeting with other police heads today, the number was revised to 3,000.

The anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), better known as Yellow Shirt movement, will gather at Loyal Plaza in Bangkok before marching to the Parliament. They will also set up the stage to deliver speeches.

The pro-Thaksin United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), alias Red Shirts, will gather and set up a stage in front of the Parliament in order to show their support to the bill.

The police was directed to prevent both political camps from clashing with each other and ensure there will be no third parties to instigate violence during the gatherings.

The reconciliation bill is aimed at granting amnesty to all political offenders, including the ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by the 2006 coup, and those behind the killing of 92 people in the bloody 2010 dispersion on the pro-Thaksin Red Shirt protesters. However, it has so far faced strong resistance from the opposition party, mainly Democrat Party, and the Yellow Shirt members. (Xinhua-ANI)

Camelot heads Derby dozen

By Nick Robson

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

Camelot heads just 12 remaining entries for the Investec Derby at Epsom on Saturday.

There were no supplements into the blue rib and Classic, with the 2000 Guineas winner due to go off the shortest-priced favourite for years.

Trained by Aidan OBrien, he became Montjeus first winner of a Classic over a mile which led some to believe he could be a Triple Crown candidate.

OBrien has also left in Astrology, Father Of Science, Imperial Monarch and Tower Rock.

Andrew Balding, who won the Oaks in 2003 with Casual Look, is represented by second-favourite Bonfire, winner of the Dante Stakes at York.

David Lanigans Main Sequence is defending an unbeaten record after his victory in a trial at Lingfield, while Richard Fahey will have his first Derby runner in Mickdaam.

Rugged Cross, Thought Worthy, Minimise Risk and Hayley Turners mount Cavaleiro complete the possibles.

Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo both do a great job in the booth broadcasting Red Sox games on NESN, but when it comes to catching foul balls, it appears that one of them has some room for improvement. During Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Scott Podsednik sent a foul ball towards the NESN booth, causing a couple of differing reactions from the broadcasters.

Diane Kruger wowed with an unusual gown at the Cannes Film Festival closing ceremony.

The actress pushed the boat out in the style stakes as she took to the red carpet in a voluminous Christian Dior Couture creation on Sunday.

The festival juror looked quite regal in a full-skirted floor-sweeper made from sheer white material with a checked pattern and grey patches.

The blonde actress teamed the magnificent confection from the designer's Spring/Summer 2012 collection with a pair of diamond earrings and smoky eyes.

Kruger later changed into a more practical Jenny Packham dress for the Cannes Winners Dinner.

The slim monochrome design featured a sheer long-sleeved top with a strategically placed panel across the bust and pearl embellishment before falling into a sleek black skirt.

The star accessorised the elegant frock with a gorgeous clutch made from light wood and mother of pearl.

Pop sensation Kylie Minogue also walked the red carpet on the French Riviera on Sunday.

The Australian singer looked stunning in a pale blue gown with sparkly embellishments. The star teamed the flowing frock with a beautiful diamond necklace and towering metallic sandals.

Andy Roddick was a four-set loser to Nicolas Mahut of France in the first round of the French Open on Sunday in Paris. (David Vincent / Associated Press)

First and foremost, the footing is tricky The soft courts take his booming serves and forehands down a notch, too. Put simply, his game is built for hard or grass courts. As if that wasn't enough, he arrived at this French Open having played only 16 matches in a season interrupted by injuries to his right hamstring and right ankle.

If Roddick was tempted to sit out Roland Garros altogether - or tempted to use his health or rust as an excuse for playing poorly - he did not. The 26th-seeded American, once ranked No. 1 and once a Grand Slam champion, exited a major tournament's opening round for the first time since 2007, and at the same venue.

His 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 loss to 88th-ranked Nicolas Mahut at the French Open on Sunday dropped Roddick's record to 7-10 this season, 0-4 on clay. Of the seven previous major title winners in action on day one in Paris, including Venus Williams in her first Grand Slam match since revealing in August she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, only Roddick was beaten.

"Wasn't playing really well. I move just horrendously out here. My first step is just so bad on this stuff," Roddick said. "I feel like I'm always shuffling or hopping or not stopping or something."

Williams also is not nearly as comfortable on clay as faster surfaces.

She's also dealing with the difficult process of learning to

"A lot of it, I have to figure it out. It's physical and emotional and all kinds of different things. Mental," Williams said of her medical condition. "It's a big accomplishment for me to be here right now."

The other past major champions who won Sunday were Juan Martin del Potro, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Sam Stosur, Ana Ivanovic and Svetlana Kuznetsova. Monday's schedule includes Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Victoria Azarenka and Li Na.

Mahut hit more aces than Roddick, 13-8, and broke him seven times, including in the last game on Court Suzanne Lenglen, an arena the American is not fond of.

The Cannes Film Festival came to a quiet close last night as the final red carpet event took place, with many of the stars choosing to save their best looks for last.

Diane Kruger, a juror for the festival, has not disappointed with each red carpet event. The German actress wore a Christian Dior couture ballgown to the closing ceremony in Cannes, which included a bouffant skirt.

The grey and white checkered gown stole the show, complete with sporadic black, floral, lace detail. The actress changed into a little more comfortable Jenny Packham dress after the event as she posed with boyfriend, Joshua Jackson, for the evening dinner.

Though her film did not receive an overwhelmingly positive response, Kylie Minogue kept her head high on the final night of Cannes. Wearing a lavender-blue Roberto Cavalli gown, the pint-sized Australian looked like royalty on the red carpet. We wish she had her hair doing something more memorable to elevate the look to its best, though.

Alec Baldwin and fiance Hilaria Thomas again looked picture perfect on the red carpet. Earlier last week the loved-up couple stormed the red carpet looking like classic cake-topping bride and groom in black and white. For the closing ceremony, they both opted for sleek black and looked sensational while doing so.

Boston and Tampa Bay will wrap up their series with a Sunday afternoon rubber game, with Clay Buchholz and Jeremy Hellickson taking the mound.

The Sox have stacked their lineup as much as possible, with Adrian Gonzalez in right field, Will Middlebrooks at third, and Kevin Youkilis at first. The real spotlight, however, will be on Clay Buchholz, who has had serious difficulty recording outs through the first two months of the season.

We'll keep you up-to-date on all the action as it goes down in Fenway.

Rays 4, Red Sox 3, Final -- 0-0, 10-10, 11-11, 21-21, 22-22, 23-23. They just can't get it done.

Rays 4, Red Sox 3, Mid 9th -- And just like that, the lead is gone. Alfredo Aceves comes out wild, walks Ben Zobrist, falls behind Sean Rodriguez 3-1, and gives up the homer that has the Red Sox looking at a very frustrating loss.

Red Sox 3, Rays 2, End 8th -- The Sox waste a valuable chance to add on to their lead in the eight. After Scott Podsednik singled to get the inning started, Mike Aviles bunted him into scoring position to give the heart of the lineup a chance to bring him in. Dustin Pedroia could only move him to third, however, and David Ortiz was intentionally walked to bring Kevin Youkilis to the plate to draw one of the less-intentional variety. In stepped Adrian Gonzalez, who had played the hero just one inning ago, but this time he couldn't come through. A reasonably well-hit ground ball headed past the mound, but the Rays defense was well-positioned to make the out an easy one.

It's all in Alfredo Aceves' hands now.

Red Sox 3, Rays 2, Mid 8th -- Bobby Valentine plays the splits, sending Franklin Morales in for Carlos Pena and Vicente Padilla in for B.J. Upton and Matt Joyce, resulting in two strikeouts and a ground ball. All that's left now is for Alfredo Aceves to do his job.

Red Sox 3, Rays 2, End 7th -- Adrian Gonzalez could not have chosen a better moment to find his power stroke again. David Ortiz led the inning off by drawing a walk, and Kevin Youkilis jumped on an outside 1-2 fastball to shoot a ground ball up the middle and give Gonzalez a chance with two on and nobody out. Rather than simply continuing the rally, Gonzalez chose to put an exclamation mark on it, taking a Fenway swing on an outside pitch and slicing a high fly ball just to the right of the foul pole and into the Monster seats.

Rays 2, Red Sox 0, Mid 7th -- The Rays pick up what could be a big insurance run as Clay Buchholz gives up a wall ball double, and has Will Rhymes flare a single to left for a two-out RBI before striking out Chris Gimenez to end the inning.
