LAS VEGAS -- Republicans are hitting Democratic U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley with new allegations of misconduct.

Washoe County Republican Party Chairman David Buell says he filed a federal ethics complaint on Friday against Berkley and the Nevada Democratic Party for coordinating on her U.S. Senate campaign.

Buell says Berkley is running against four little-known candidates in the Democratic primary, but Nevada Democrats are already spending money to help her.

Buell says federal law only allows political parties to coordinate with their official nominee.

But a Democratic spokesman says it is legal for the party and Berkley to work together.

Berkley is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee after the Nevada GOP filed a complaint alleging that she used her office to help her husband's business.

She is challenging Republican Sen. Dean Heller.

New Mexico fire forces evacuation near ghost town

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. ?

A wildfire in Gila National Forest burned through more timber and brush lands as it forced the evacuation of residents living near a privately owned ghost town in southwestern New Mexico, officials said.

Fueled by strong, erratic winds, the Whitewater-Baldy Complex fire burning through rugged and remote terrain grew Saturday to an estimated 100,000 acres, or more than 150 square miles. It was still 0 percent contained.

The evacuation of Mogollon, a privately owned ghost town, was ordered Saturday due to extreme wind.

Five helicopters and more than 600 firefighters from around the state were on hand to fight the blaze but still had to contend with "extreme conditions."

Cities, as far away as Albuquerque, remained under a health alert until Sunday afternoon due to smoke from the fire, which has spread across the state. State officials were warning residents during the Memorial Day weekend to limit outdoor activities, especially if smoke was visible.

The haze that blocked views of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque on Friday appeared to have decreased by early Saturday afternoon, but smoke continued to hang over parts of the city.

Meanwhile on Saturday, crews in Colorado battled a wildfire that has scorched more than 3,000 acres of rugged canyon land near the Colorado-Utah border. U.S. Forest Service spokesman Steve Segin said the fire started Friday afternoon and is burning in a remote area near Paradox. It is not threatening any structures, and no injuries have been reported.

Shannon Borders, a spokeswoman for The Bureau of Land Management, said sheriff's deputies have evacuated the Buckeye Reservoir area, a popular recreation spot near the Utah border. The Rock Creek and Sinbad Valley areas also were evacuated.

In California, higher humidity and light winds were helping firefighters get ahead of a stubborn wildfire that has charred 4,100 acres of tinder-dry grass and brush in rural San Diego County.

The blaze near Shelter Valley was burning Saturday in steep, rocky terrain away from the town of Julian, said Thomas Shoots, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. It was 65 percent contained.

No injuries or damage to structures were reported, and the fire was not moving toward any homes as it burned southeast on Saturday.

Arizona fire officials said a cold front arriving over the state late Friday was providing additional relief to firefighters battling the Gladiator Fire, a blaze that has charred 16,000 acres and is now 40 percent contained. Electricity has been restored to some areas.

Best and possibly only live lip-dub wedding proposal

Best and possibly only live lip-dub wedding proposal

Posted by @britt_mahaney on May 25th, 2012

It?s just been a week of tears, what with So You Think You Can Dance last night and now this corny but dayam sweet wedding proposal.

Let me set the scene: this past Wednesday Amy went to her boyfriend Isaac?s parents house. When she arrived, her boyfriend?s brother stationed her in the back of the car and told her to listen to this new song he heard. He placed the headphones over her ears and that?s when the car starts moving.

She thought she was going to listen to a song but instead she got a live lip-dub wedding proposal. Even if you?re not into romantic, lovey dovey stuff this proposal is going to warm your heart. And if it doesn?t then your standards are impossibly high.

(AP) ? Major champions Sam Stosur and Svetlana Kuznetsova won in straight sets Sunday, quickly making their way into the second round of the French Open on opening day.

The sixth-seeded Stosur, who won last year's U.S. Open and reached the final on the red clay at Roland Garros in 2010, beat Elena Baltacha of Britain 6-4, 6-0 in the first match on the main court.

"It's a bit of an early start, but always nice to get through it now," the Australian said. "You have the whole day and whatever else to recover and, yeah, enjoy."

Kuznetsova won the French Open title in 2009 and the U.S. Open in 2004 but is seeded No. 26 this year. Against Mirjana Lucic of Croatia, she won 6-1, 6-3. The Russian faced little trouble despite being broken twice in the second set.

No. 10 Angelique Kerber of Germany and No. 20 Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic also advanced to the second round, along with Americans Melanie Oudin and Irina Falconi.

Playing later were seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and 2008 French Open winner Ana Ivanovic.

None of the top three men was in action, but former major champions Andy Roddick and Juan Martin del Potro were on the schedule.

Top-ranked Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will be on court Monday, and Rafael Nadal is to begin his attempt for a record-breaking seventh French Open title Tuesday.

Fabio Fognini of Italy became the first man to advance, beating Adrian Mannarino of France 6-0, 7-5, 6-1. No. 21 Marin Cilic of Croatia was next, defeating Daniel Munoz-De la Nava of Spain 6-4, 6-4, 7-5.

Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 2003 French Open champion, also moved into the second round. The Spaniard beat Jonathan Dasnieres de Veigy of France 6-1, 6-4, 6-3.

The French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament that starts on Sunday. The other three all start on Monday.

"I don't think it's too big a deal now that it's more of a proper schedule," Stasur said. "I think the first year there was only a handful of matches, and, yeah, if you were on the schedule then, it really didn't feel like the tournament started. Nobody else was thinking that the tournament had started."

Stosur converted five of her eight break points, and briefly allowed Baltacha back into the match by being broken for the first set at 5-3. The Australian broke right back to take the set. In the second set, Baltacha won only four points on her serve, allowing Stosur to advance easily.

Kuznetsova raced through the first set of her match. After leading 3-0 in the second set, Lucic broke twice to get back to 3-3, but Kuznetsova then won the next three games to take the match.

The 30-year-old Lucic reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 1999, but she is now 11-44 against players ranked in the top 30.
