The Jamaican sprinter's sponsorship of the 3-month-old male cheetah is part of an effort to boost Kenyan conservation efforts of its famous wildlife, whose survival is threatened by trophy hunting, climate change and human encroachment. The world recordholder in the ioo and 200 meters paid $13,700 to formally adopt the cub. He will also pay $3,000 a year to care for Lighting Bolt, who will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi. The money will go to the Kenya Wildlife Service, and some will be> used to protect Kenya's endangered species, said KWS director Julius Kipngetich. Bolt was joined on the trip by Colin Jackson, a former no-meter nurses Olympic champion, and Jochen Zeitz, the chief executive of athletic gear manufacturer Puma. Zietz made the visit to launch his charity's campaign to preserve ecosystems. Jackson adopted a 2-year-old eland, the largest of the antelope species. Bolt, who was on a four-day visit to Kenya, said Friday he was looking forward to seeing Kenya's diverse wildlife but was scared of meeting lions. He nearly ran away when asked Monday to pet a fully grown cheetah named Sharon for a photo shoot with Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Bolt had Zeitz stand in for him until he saw that Sharon seemed harmless. The world-record holder appeared more comfortable later while handling his baby cheetah, which was the size of a fully grown domestic cat. He cradled the Highway Patrol makes 124 arrests during blitz The Utah Highway Patrol said state troopers made 100 drunken-driving arrests during a blitz operation for Halloween. The highway patrol said more than 230 troopers were on the roads looking for drunken drivers. They stopped nearly 1,800 vehicles. Besides the 100 DUI arrests, there were nine arrests for driving under the influence of drugs, seven for underage drinking and some for minor offenses: a total of 124 arrests. Highway patrol Sgt. Jeff Nigbur said no one died in an alcohol-related accident this year. Team claims record-breaking pumpkin launch in Utah MOAB—It's a "punkin chunkin" record. Or at least that's the hope of a team that spent Halloween weekend launch- . ing the gourds into the air. The "Big 10 Inch Team" from Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey said that on Sunday it launched a pumpkin 4,623 feet, topping the former Guinness World Record in vegetable chucking by 132 feet. The group is awaiting final verification from Guinness World Records. Corrections and Clarifications In the article "Student Health Center offers free H1N1 vaccine," published Nov. 2, an information box included with the article inaccurately said students should make an appointment to receive the vaccine. They may simply walk into the center without an appointment to receive the vaccine.

First responders, families of 9/11 victims and the public gathered Monday at a waterfront viewing area, where they could see the crew standing at attention along the deck of the battleship gray vessel. The big ship paused. Then the shots werefiredin three bursts. The bow of the $1 billion ship, built in Louisiana, contains about 7.5 tons of steelfromthe fallen towers. "It's a trarisformarion..irom something really twisted and ugly," said Rosaleen Tallon, who lost her firefighter brother, Sean, on 9/n. "I'm proud that our military is using that steeL" Tallon said her brother, who was a Marine, would have been proud. JoAnn Atlas, of Howells, N.Y, who lost her husband, fire Lt. Gregg Atlas, draped a flag-themed banner along the fence. The names of emergency workers who died were written on the red stripes. "We have to remember," she said. "It's a way to honor them." Members of the public included Nancy DiGiacomo, who came from Huntington, N.Y, with her husband, 9-year-old son, mother and sister. "I just thought it was important to see" the transformation of the tragedy's wreckage, said DiGiacomo. "From that, something else can come of it." Lt. Cmdr. Colette Murphy, a Navy spokeswoman, said she was excited for those serving on board to see the city's "awe-inspiring" welcome. At a short ceremony later at- Pier 88 near the site of the aircraft carrier/the USS Intrepid, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the USS New York couldn't have a more fitting name, representing freedom, courage and resilience. "This ship is actually a physical representation of that spirit with steel from the World Trade Center built into its bow so every friend that sets foot on it and every foe that dares challenge it will feel its power and know that it is literally madefromthe heart and soul of the city that has scarified so much," the mayor said Report: Utah, WY have highest percentage of gay spouses SAN FRANCISCO— Same-sex couples who identify as married are similar to straight spouses in terms of age and income, and nearly one-third of them are raising children, according to Census data released Monday that provides a demographic snapshot of gay families in America. The study released by a think tank based at UCLA also found that Utah and Wyoming were among the states with the highest percentages of gay spouses in 2008, despite being heavily conservative states with no laws providing legal recognition of gay relationships. The data from the annual American Commu- nity Survey showed that nearly 150,000 same-sex couples in the United States, or more than one in four, referred to one another as "husband" or "wife," although UCLA researchers estimate that no more than 32,000 of the couples were legally married. The couples had an average age of 52 and household incomes of $91,558, and 31 percent were raising children. That compares with an average age of 50, household income of $95,075 and 43 percent raising children for married heterosexual couples.

Christian bookstore SIMI VALLEY, Calif.— A 28-year-old clerk at a Christian bookstore in Simi Valley has been arrested on charges of peeping at customers in the restroom with a video camera. Police said the man was cited and released on suspicion of peeping by means of an electronic device Sunday after a customer spotted the device hidden among boxes in the corner of the bathroom of the Family Christian Book Store. I The 40-year-old woman and her husband called police to report the suspiciously placed camera. Sgt Dwight Thompson said tjie recording shows the suspect hiding the video camera in the bathroom because it was taping as he positioned it. Thompson said investigators believe the incident was isolated because the victim and the suspect are the only people seen on the video. spouses look like oppositesex married couples even with a characteristic like children," said Gary Gates, the UCLA demographer who conducted the analysis. "Most proponents of traditional marriage will say that when you allow these couples to marry, you are going to change the fundamental nature of marriage by decoupling it from procreation. Clearly, in the minds of same-sex couples who are marrying or think of themselves as married, you are not decoupling child-rearing from marriage." Gates said the report is the first to reliably compare same-sex couples who identify as married with gays who say they're in unmarried partnerships and with married opposite-sex couples. In the past, same-sex couples who referred to one another as "husband" or "wife" automatically were recorded as unmarried partners, a step gay rights activists lobbied the Census Bureau to eliminate as more states have legalized same-sex unions. Unsurprisingly, Massachusetts, where gay couples have been able to get married since 2004, had the highest proportion of same-sex couples who were either legally married or considered themselves married, 3.63 for every 1,000 households. 343 lbs. of sea cucumbers seized SAN DIEGO—Customs officials say they seized 343 pounds of sea cucumbers at a San Diego border crossing as smugglers tried to bring the Asian culinary delicacy into the United States from Mexico. Inspectors found the undeclared sea cucumbers Sunday afternoon in a minivan at the San Ysidro port of entry. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Jackie Dizdul said the oblong marine animals were hidden in the luggage of two Chinese citizens, a 51-year-old man and his 24-year-old son. The two were fined $15,264, and their U.S. visas were canceled. Dizdul said all imported food must be declared, especially large quantities intended for commercial use. Sea cucumbers are eaten in soups in Asia, where they are harvested from the ocean bottom and dried. They go for about $45 per pound in the United States. ASST.
