Iran, US and Europe start nuclear deal

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran unplugged banks of centrifuges involved in its most sensitive uranium enrichment work on Monday, prompting the United States and European Union to partially lift economic

sanctions as a landmark deal aimed at easing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program went into effect.

The mutual actions — curbing atomic work in exchange for some sanctions relief — start a six-

month clock for Tehran and the world powers to negotiate a final accord that the Obama administration and its European allies say will be intended to ensure Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon.

In the meantime, the interim deal puts limits on Iran’s program — though it continues low levels of uranium enrichment. Tehran denies its nuclear program is intended to produce a bomb.

and the Campbells are good people.”

As the 30-day legislative session begins today, Chaves County will wait to hear whether a wish list of projects it submitted will be approved for funding.

The county submitted 10 funding requests to its state legislators for road construction, a walking trail, public dumpsites, a new fire engine and other projects.

In total, $2.66 million in Chaves County projects were put into a “book” that will be handed to local representatives, said Hubert Quintana, executive director of Southeastern New Mexico Economic Development District.

The projects are prioritized, according to need.

“We just wait to find out whether we were successful in any of our funding requests,” said Chaves County Development Director Charlotte Andrade.

The county’s first priority is a $500,000 request to fix Hobson Road. The road has

deteriorated and needs to be rebuilt from N.M. 256 to the east.

The second biggest priority listed is a $500,000 request to fund the construction of a retention pond, improve storm water drainage and construct a dog park and Americans with Disabilities-compliant walking trail in the area around the county administration building.

The trail would run around Southeast Main Street to Hobbs Street. The retention pond would be built along Hobbs Street, according to a depiction provided by the county.

Another project requested includes a $101,000 funding request for garbage “convenience centers.” The county proposes to purchase six large compactors to be placed at locations in the county and allow residents to dispose of residential waste. The idea would be to decrease litter and debris that is now illegally dumped.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The value of New Mexico’s per manent funds has grown to 16 percent higher than what it was before the market crashed, and the increase in returns on investments has also placed the state among the better -per for ming funds compared to its peers nationwide.

Some Obama spy changes hampered by complications

WASHINGTON (AP) — Several of the key surveillance reforms unveiled by President Barack Obama face complications that could muddy the proposals’ lawfulness, slow their momentum in Congress and saddle the government with heavy costs and bureaucracy, legal experts warn.

Despite Obama’s plans to shift the National Security Agency’s mass storage of Americans’ bulk phone records elsewhere, telephone companies do not want the responsibility.

And the government could

face privacy and structural hurdles in relying on any other entity to store the data.

Constitutional analysts also question the legal underpinning of Obama’s commitment to setting up an advisory panel of privacy experts to intervene in some proceedings of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which oversees the NSA’s data mining operations. Obama has asked Congress to set up such a panel, but senior federal judges already oppose the move, citing practical and legal draw-

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Mia Prickett’s ancestor was a leader of the Cascade Indians along the Columbia River and was one of the chiefs who signed an 1855 treaty that helped establish the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde in Oregon.

California to Michigan.

“In my entire life, I have always known I was an Indian. I have always known my family’s history, and I am so pr oud of that,” Prickett said. She said her ancestor chief Tumulth was unjustly accused of participating in a revolt and was executed by the U.S. Army — and hence didn’t make it onto the tribe’s roll, which is a membership now requirement.

The prospect of losing her membership is “gutwrenching,” Prickett said.

“It’s like coming home one day and having the keys taken from you,” she said. “You’r e culturally homeless.”

The enrollment battles come at a time when many tribes — long poverty-

backs.

The secret courts now operate with only the government making its case to a federal judge for examining someone’s phone data.

Civil libertarians have called for a voice in the room that might offer the judge an opposing view.

“The devil is in the details of how the government collects and retains phone records,” said Anthony Romero, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, “and I think we’re going to see pretty quickly the lack of specificity behind some

of the president’s promises.”

Obstacles to enacting Obama’s plans are expected to mount quickly as administration officials and legislators grapple over what sort of entity will oversee the calling records swept up by the NSA. Obama ordered the Justice Department and intelligence officials to devise a plan within the next two months.

Privacy advocates also questioned the administration’s silence on what it will do with hundreds of millions of phone records, at

minimum, that are now kept on file in government inventories. Citing the NSA’s plans to build a vast data storage facility in Utah, Romero said “there was nothing in the president’s speech about what’s already in the government’s hands.”

Obama’s task force, the Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, had recommended cutting the time that the NSA could retain private records from five to two years. But Obama’s proposals do not address the issue of duration, leav-

ing those records still in NSA control for the foreseeable future.

Who or what takes over the storage of private phone records is also at issue.

Telephone company executives and their lawyers have bluntly told administration officials they do not want to become the NSA’s data minders. Cellular industry executives prefer the NSA keep control over the surveillance program and would only accept changes if they were legally required and spelled out in legislation.

Disenrollment leaves Natives ‘culturally homeless’ Man punched, pulls out knife during argument But the Grand Ronde now wants to disenroll Prickett and 79 relatives, and possibly hundreds of other tribal members, because they no longer satisfy new enrollment requirements.

Prickett’s family is fighting the effort, part of what some experts have dubbed the “disenr ollment epidemic” — a rising number of dramatic clashes over tribal belonging that are sweeping through more than a dozen states, from

Alcohol-related crashes down in Santa Fe County

SANTA FE (AP) — Santa Fe County has seen the number of crashes involving alcohol drop sharply over the past year, and experts say that’s evidence New Mexico’s drunken driving laws, police enforcement and education are making the state safer.

Ignition interlock advocate Tom Starke tells The New Mexican there’s a real trend going on.

The report prepared by the Santa Fe Prevention Alliance shows the number of alcohol-related crashes decreased from 128 in 2012 to 106 last year — a drop of 17 percent.

The number of DWI arrests was also down, and one less person died in a drunken driving crash in 2013 than the previous year.

Starke and others believe one factor is New Mexico’s ignition interlock law, which mandates one of the devices for all DWI offenders. Another factor is city

Weingarten is also visiting Santa Fe, where she will meet with Santa Fe Mayor David Coss, educators and others who are rallying for the “Keep the Promise” agenda as the New Mexico Legislature gets ready to begin its 30day session.

Woman arrested for stealing pastor’s coins

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Police say a woman accused of stealing a $70,000 coin collection from an Albuquerque pastor is in custody.

Authorities say 53-yearold Anita Manalo is facing charges of larceny over $20,000 and receiving and/or disposing of stolen property over $20,000.

Police booked her Friday into a county jail on $20,000 bail.

According to a court complaint, the pastor asked a friend to watch his home while he went on a month-long mission trip to Africa.

The friend had Manalo clean the house several times.

HOBBS (AP) — The U.S. Department of Labor has awarded New Mexico Junior College to a $2.5 million grant to offer more oilfield training to the underemployed.

The college’s director of institutional effectiveness, Larry Sanderson, says the award is huge for the campus. The goal is to serve unemployed and underemployed workers by providing relevant training as determined by the needs of the region’s energy industry.

2 nabbed at Texas border in Target credit card fraud case Roswell Daily Record

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Account information stolen during the Target security breach is now being divided up and sold off regionally, a South Texas police chief said Monday following the arrest of two Mexican citizens who authorities say arrived at the border with 96 fraudulent credit cards.

McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said Mary Car men Garcia, 27, and Guardiola Daniel Dominguez, 28, both of Monterrey, Mexico, used cards containing the account infor mation of South Texas residents.

Rodriguez said they were used to buy tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise at national retailers in the area including Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Toys R Us. “They’re obviously selling the data sets by region,” Rodriguez said.

Garcia and Guardiola were both being held Monday on state fraud charges.

It was not immediately known whether they had retained lawyers.

Secret Service confirmed that the fraudulent accounts traced back to the original Target data breach from late last year.

Investigators fanned out to McAllen-area merchants and r eviewed “miles of video” looking for the fraudsters, Rodriguez said. From that, they were able to identify two people and a car with Mexican license plates.

With the help of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, investigators confirmed the identities of their suspects from immigration records of when they had entered Texas in the same vehicle. Police

Speaking of Tavarez’s recovery, Bert said Nathaniel was doing wonder fully. However, he urged people to respect the Tavarez family’s privacy also.

of 1964. King would win the Nobel Peace Prize later that year.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said not many states could boast a native son that merited a national holiday. “But we Georgians can,” he told the audience.

Deal said this year he would work with state legislators to find a way to honor King at the Georgia Capitol, which drew a standing ovation.

He did not give any specifics, but civil rights leaders have suggested a statue. The only current tribute to King at the state Capitol is a portrait inside the Statehouse.

“I think that more than just saying kind thoughts about him we ought to take action ourselves,” said Deal, a Republican. “That’s how we embed truth into our words. I think it’s time for Georgia’s leaders to follow in Dr. King’s footsteps and take action, too.”

In the fall, a statue of 19th-century white supremacist politician and newspaperman Tom Watson was removed from the Capitol.

Deal also touched on criminal justice reforms his administration has

tried to make, including drug and mental health courts, saying too many people are not being rehabilitated in prisons.

“Let’s build a monument, but the monument should inspire us to build a better world,” said the Atlanta event’s keynote speaker, the Rev. Raphael Warnock.

He also said the growing disparities in income, opportunity and health care are indications of a continuing struggle for equality decades after King’s death.

The event closed with the choir singing “We Shall Overcome,” with visitors singing verses in Spanish, Hebrew and Italian as audience members joined hands and swayed in unison.

President Barack Obama honored King’s legacy of service by helping a soup kitchen prepare its daily meals.

Obama took his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha to DC Central Kitchen, which is a few minutes away from the White House.

New York City’s new Mayor Bill de Blasio marked the day by talking about economic inequality, saying it was “closing doors for hardworking people in this city and all over this country.”

“The council has carried out one of the biggest portfolio overhauls in the country in the last several years,” SIC spokesman Charles Wollmann said.

That includes fundamental changes in everything from the makeup and selection of council members to how decisions are made and how money managers and consultants get hired.

Apart from structural changes, the council has carried out a thorough, bottom-up review and realignment of nearly all investments and strategies.

“We’ve completely reworked the portfolio,” council member Harold Lavender said. “It had to be totally restructured. We’ve roughly reinvested about $12 billion over the last four

years.”

The reforms have imposed a professional management process at all levels, including best practices regarding investment decisions as well as transparency in all council proceedings and transactions, said SIC Vice Chairman Peter Frank.

Previously, investment decisions were being driven solely by what the chief investment officers thought should be done, and that opened the door to potential political influence.

In 2009, pay-to-play scandals erupted, leading former chief Gary Bland to resign. Lawsuits against Bland and more than a dozen third-party marketers and placement agents followed.

Legislators should focus on bigger problems SHERRY ROBINSON ALL SHE WROTE

In every legislative session, there are bills with a purpose (whether you agree with it or not) and bills I call noise – the political incendiaries, intended more for show and campaigns. Chances are slim to none that they’ll pass, but lawmakers will burn a lot of time better spent on bigger problems.

One four-year-old noisemaker is the governor’s driver’s license bill, but this year the Democrats have lobbed their own noisemakers.

Topping the list is the Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino’s marijuana initiative. The Albuquerque Democrat has pre-introduced a joint resolution seeking a constitutional amendment that would allow voters to decide the legalization of pot.

After that, the Legislature would have to craft a bill.

The problem is lawmakers, not to mention the public, are nowhere near agreement on the issue, so we’re looking at hours of debate during a short session, when we can’t afford the time.

And, while I can’t disagree with proponents that our war on drugs has been a bust, I think New Mexico could stand to watch Colorado plow new ground before jumping

A bill to eliminate the post of Secretary of Education and return to the old state school board is noise. Sen. Michael Padilla, DAlbuquerque, wants a constitutional amendment to that effect.

Padilla argues that because the education secretary carries water for the governor, we could see a drastic shift in doctrine with every change in governor. He says this isn’t about Secretary Hanna Skandera, but I have a feeling it is about Skandera. Otherwise the proposal would have surfaced before.

Padilla and everybody else who thinks this is a good idea should refresh their memories. The board could be political to extremes and at times was dominated – or manipulated – by one member.

And there was no accountability, which was why an education secretary was part of the school reforms in 2003.

Roswell Daily Record

In 2006, a report from the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation applauded Gov. Bill Richardson’s move to replace the state board of education with a cabinet secretary who answers to him: “It was a bold move that let the state’s leaders and citizens know that education was a priority.”

A third noisy constitutional amendment proposal would ban same-sex marriages in New Mexico. Sen. William Sharer, R-Farmington, is responding to the recent Supreme Court decision. This issue has been aired and debated, and most New Mexicans are tired of hearing about it. It says something that a lengthy list of New Mexico clergy published a fullpage ad back in October to support the freedom to marry. Even the governor has said it’s time to move on.

A fourth burst of racket isn’t partisan. The New Mexico Municipal League wants to reinstate the

gross receipts tax on food. The league and economist Brian McDonald have argued that removing the tax didn’t benefit the poor in the way everyone expected. More to the point, it dented budgets for municipalities already struggling to maintain services.

Let me state the obvious, that the governor is adamantly opposed, and the governor and representatives are up for re-election next year. Who wants to step forward and support a food tax?

There will be other fixes in the hopper this year, and lawmakers need to kindly remember local governments.

This year’s session promises plenty of flash and bang just in the questions that must be resolved. I hope lawmakers can dispense with the noisemakers early and quickly and not exercise their lungs (trial lawyers, are you listening?) on bills that don’t stand a chance.

Government Should Focus on Fundamentals

All too often, government underperforms at the things most people expect government to do. This makes it all the more maddening when government endeavors to extend beyond its expertise and do things clearly in the private-sector sphere.

The Business Coalition for Fair Competition, an organization representing business, free-market, and taxpayer interests, recently published a 2013 list of the “most egregious examples of unfair government-sponsored competition with private enterprise.”

The list includes the Defense Department’s 178 grocery stores (commissaries), operated with a $1.4 billion annual subsidy, and dozens of movie theaters on military installations; colleges and universities operating facility rentals, golf courses, recreation and fitness centers and sports camps; the undercutting of private charter buses by federally subsidized local and regional transit authorities; and state health insurance exchange “navigators” to squeeze out private insurance brokers and sign up people under the Affordable Care Act. Under the “Yellow Pages Test,” if a service can be found in the phone book, the government either should not be providing that service in the first place, or should at least contract the service out through a competitive bidding process.

In 1808, Thomas Jefferson noted, “It is better for the public to procure at the market whatever the market can supply; because there it is by competition kept up in its quality and reduced to its minimum price.”

Government at all levels should heed this lesson, focusing only on the most “core” functions, while allowing the free market to supply goods and services whenever possible.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What happened to innocence as we knew it?

The name of my book (when I have time to begin writing) will no longer be “The Heart of a Child.” What is the heart of a child? I thought it depicted innocence and purity.

Another tragedy and so many lives touched — not only the victims and the accused but the families and community as a whole.

WHY? Why does this happen? Why does God allow this to happen? Sin has invaded the world since Adam and Eve, but this boy is so young. I truly believe that exposure to violence through TV, video games, peer pressure, bullying, etc., is in large part to blame.

There is limited respect for authority, including what is right and wrong (ie. good and evil.) Many families have both parents working to afford or at least put on “credit” all the things they want and don’t really need.

This gives way to latchkey children in an increasingly violent world of sex, guns and drugs.

I work hard but take for granted, at times, the many blessings that have been bestowed upon me. I grew up in an era of Andy Griffith, “Bonanza,” “My Friend Flicka,” “Mr. Ed,” “I Dream of Jeannie,” etc. The childhood movies that affected me deeply were the “Born Free” series, the “Lassie Come Home” series, and “The Incredible Journey;” I was shattered when I found out that “Elsa” died of Babesia in the bush. Joy Adamson was killed by the very people she hired to help her and George Adamson was killed by poachers in the bush while pursuing his lifetime passion in saving the African lion.

Sometimes, I still cry when I realize how sheltered and naive I was as a child. My life was three scheduled meals around the table with family, church on Sunday, and school with continued encouragement to succeed through hard work and study.

What happened to innocence as we knew it? Even I am guilty of the very things I outwardly condemn, which includes all the violence on TV. Afterall, my favorite TV program is NBC’s “The Blacklist.” I am captivated by the plot (which is deviant, deceptive, spellbinding and full of incredible suspense). Maybe it is just the secret crush I have on James Spader — not your typical “hunk” but a mastermind of interwoven intelligence.

In today’s world, even though we grew up in an era of achievement through hard work, we become the victims of our own successes.

Straightforward? Not the best description of Chris Christie — or his pal Karl Rove

BY JOE CONASON When Karl Rove praises a politician’s “straightforward” approach to an erupting scandal, it seems wise to expect that something very twisted will instead emerge in due course — and to consider his real objectives.

In this instance, the former Bush White House political boss — and current Republican super PAC godfather — was discussing Gov. Chris Christie’s response to “Bridgegate,” as the events surrounding the vengeful closure of

Doonesbury

part of the George Washington Bridge by the New Jersey governor’s aides is now called.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Rove said Christie “did himself a lot of good” during the famous two-hour press conference on the scandal when he sorrowfully announced the firing of a deputy chief of staff and a top state party official for “lying” to him about the bridge affair.

“I think his handling of this, being straightforward, taking action — saying, ‘I’m responsible’ — firing the people proba-

bly gives him some street cred with some tea party Republicans, who say, ‘That’s what we want in a leader, somebody who steps up and takes responsibility,’” said Rove.

Pandering to the Fox audience, he went on to contrast the righteous Christie with Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as President Barack Obama, and to note that the IRS and Benghazi “scandals” hadn’t gotten nearly enough attention compared with Bridgegate.

While Rove sticks a halo on

the man his old boss Dubya used to call “Big Boy,” everyone else might wait for the documents and testimony forthcoming from investigations at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operate the bridge; in both chambers of the New Jersey legislature; in the Department of Justice; and in the United States Senate.

Observers dazzled by Christie’s press conference performance should perhaps

ask themselves how his top aides managed to pursue this scheme — evidently in revenge against the mayor of Fort Lee, the New Jersey commuter town so badly damaged by the closing of traffic lanes — under his nose.

They might ask why the governor continued to believe, as he says he did, that the controversial action resulted from a “traffic safety study” almost a month after the Port Authority’s top executive and two other PA officials testified Dec. 9, 2013, that no such study ever existed.

They might further ask about the very curious photograph published by The Wall Street Journal on Jan. 14, showing Christie yukking it up in public with David Wildstein, the Port Authority official who ordered the lane closures at the behest of Bridget Anne Kelly, last Sept. 11, three days into the traffic crisis in Fort Lee. And they might then ask why Christie insisted — at the endless press conference where his candor so impressed Rove — that he has had “no contact with David Wildstein in a long time, a long time, well before the election.”

Christie’s description of his supposedly distant relationship with Wildstein is only one among many of his claims of innocence that contradict either the public record or common sense, or both. While awaiting additional information from Wildstein and other potentially immunized defendants, however, it may be worth consider-

Deepak Chopra is a pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine, transforming the way the world views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social wellness.

“What Are You Hungry For?: The Chopra Solution to Permanent Weight Loss, Well-being, and Lightness of Soul” is the manual for “higher health” that is based on both mainstream and alternative medicine. Chopra believes weight can be brought under control by linking it to personal fulfillment in every area of a reader’s life. To be truly satisfied, you need to nourish each of the following aspects: First, nourish the body with healthy food. Second, nourish the heart with love and compassion. Third, nourish the mind with knowledge. Fourth, nourish the spirit with awareness of self. He creates a vision of weight loss based on a deeper awareness of why people overeat because they are trying to find satisfaction and wind up using food as a substitute for real fulfillment.

No food is off limits because the plan is flexible, so you will not feel deprived. He promises that by alternating “clean” and “cheat” days (in a 3-1-2-1 ratio) and following his 48-minute workout, four times a week, readers can see substantial changes in just three weeks.

Thought

ing the history that links Christie to Rove — and why the Republican strategist is so enamored with the New Jersey governor.

Their relationship was first exposed during the Bush administration’s U.S. Attorneys scandal, when investigations of the gross political abuse of the Justice Department by the Bush White House clearly implicated Rove. Among the U.S. Attorneys cited as dubious political appointees was Christie, whose law partner, a top Bush fundraiser and Republican operative, had forwarded his resume to Rove. Later, while still in the U.S. Attorney’s office — where he stage-managed a blatantly political election-year probe of Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez — Christie consulted with Rove about running for governor.

Christie is exactly the sort of presidential hopeful that a notorious bully like Rove prefers: a blustering loudmouth with a common touch; an experienced fundraiser who knows how to find the money; a Wall Street conservative capable of stirring up the base without scaring the independents. Without Christie as the GOP’s 2016 frontrunner, Rove has no plausible alternative to tea party hopefuls Rand Paul and T ed Cruz — and may see his own power, already waning, finally eclipsed.

nail on the head.

Sometimes I think that one of the most significant measurements of a person’s life is how well they manage and overcome their fears. There have been many things in each of our lives that have not been accomplished because of fears that keep us from taking action.

Fears can control a person, a family, an organization, even a community.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.”

Our community must be able to handle its fears and to move forward with courage. Nelson Mandela said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” John Wayne said, “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.”

You see, courage isn’t a lack of fear. Courage is about managing your fears. Courage is about being afraid, but being able to do what you have to do anyway. On a bigger level it is about one doing what one is called to do regardless of the fears along the way.

There are people who won’t fly on a plane after 9/11.

There are people who are prisoners in their own homes because of their fear of crime on the outside.

There are people who never take a risk because of their fear of failure.

I am not saying we should throw ourselves into zones of danger, but I am saying that we have one life to live and if we are kept from living that life to the fullest and accomplishing what we need to be accomplishing because of fear, we are missing out on our one opportunity in this world ... the opportunity to live our life and to make a difference.

I have heard that 97% of what we fear never occurs.

FEAR can be defined as “False Evidence Appearing Real.” Nevertheless, fear changes the direction of many lives.

I do my best to avoid living a life hindered by fear.

I don’t always succeed, but I recognize fear’s role in my life and I respond accordingly. I don’t really fear my life ending. In the trips I have had around the sun I have already lived a full life.

I fear losing my loved ones. In response I do my best to live the days I have to the fullest with those I love in case this fear ever becomes real. I don’t want any regrets.

For those who are still striving to maintain their New Year’s resolutions, Books Again has real bargains. During January, all books related to self help, diet and exercise, cookbooks and religion are on sale for $1 each.

Fear often comes from being unable to control the world around us. We seek to control the world we live in. Truth be known, there is very little of the world we can control. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond. And I sometimes think the 10% number is high.

What happened on Jan. 14 is now a historical event. None of us can change it. But we can each chose how we respond. Regardless of what happened on Jan. 14, we still have today and, God willing, tomorrow.

Regardless of the days we have, we must remember that we are just passing through down here.

Every generation has worried about the future.

Our parents, our grandparents, our great-grandparents have worried about the direction our world is moving. They worried about what the world would be like for those who follow them.

It is now our turn to worry about what the future will bring. Our worrying is expected. Our desire is as was our ancestors’, to have a better world to leave to our children and our grandchildren.

How should we face this fear? We should pray and take action to make a positive difference. We need to remember in all we do that God is in control and through it all his truth will endure.

This community has been my home for the past three decades and if I live long enough, it will be my home for the next three. I know it will recover and fly higher in response to the tragic events.

My challenge to you today is to not let your fears stand in the way of your dreams. We must have dreams that are bigger than our fears.

God has the whole world in his hands, including each life touched by the tragedy of Jan. 14. He is ultimately in control. That is good enough for me.

Let’s convert fear to prayer and our prayer into positive action and see what he has in store for us.

We can respond to Jan. 14 by becoming victims or by taking action and rising above.

And let’s respond to Jan. 14 with love because as I John 4:18 tells us, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.”

With prayer and love there is nothing our great community can’t do.

God bless each one of you and God bless the Roswell community.

Family of man held UN rescinds talks invitation to Iran in NKorea worried SEATTLE (AP) — The family of an American missionary held more than a year in North Korea was heartbroken and encouraged by a brief news conference in which Kenneth Bae, wearing a gray cap and inmate’s uniform with the number 103 on his chest, apologized and said he committed antigovernment acts.

“Our end goal is to see Kenneth reunited so he can recover emotionally and physically. He has chronic health problems,” family friend Derek Sciba told The Associated Press. Sciba is a friend of Bae’s sister, Terri Chung of Edmonds, and part of a group pushing for Bae’s release.

“On the one hand it’s heartbreaking to see him in a prison uniform at the mercy of folks in North Korea, but on the other hand it’s encouraging to see him and that he’s able to speak,” Sciba said.

GENEVA (AP) — A lastminute U.N. invitation for Iran to join this week’s Syria peace talks threw the long-awaited Geneva conference into doubt Monday, forcing U.N. chief Ban Kimoon to rescind his offer under intense U.S. pressure after the opposition threatened to boycott.

With the invitation withdrawn, the main Westernbacked opposition group said it would attend the talks aimed at ending Syria’s ruinous three-year civil war. The opposition said the conference should seek to establish a transitional government with full executive powers “in which killers and criminals do not participate.”

Ban Ki-moon

The surprise invitation, extended Sunday by the U.N. secretary-general, set off a flurry of diplomatic activity to salvage the talks.

The U.S. said the of fer should be rescinded, and the opposition threatened to skip the event entirely.

Roswell Daily Record

The conference is set to begin Wednesday in the Swiss luxury resort city of Montreux, with high-ranking delegations from the United States, Russia and close to 40 other countries attending. Face-to-face negotiations between the Syrian government and its opponents — the first of the uprising — are to start Friday in Geneva.

The uproar over Iran’s invitation put the entire event at risk of being scuttled.

The Syrian National Coalition, which had voted late Saturday to attend after months of rancorous debate, issued an ultimatum, saying that Iran must commit publicly within

hours to withdraw its “troops and militias” from Syria and abide by a 2012 roadmap to establish a transitional government.

Otherwise, the group said, the U.N. should withdraw its invitation for Tehran to take part.

The confusion surrounding the Iranian invitation underscored the tenuous nature of the diplomatic ef fort to end the bloody conflict, which has morphed from peaceful protests into a vicious civil war with outside powers backing rebels who are fighting not only the government but rival insurgents as well.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ### You will feel great, and a partner might appear to be in the same mood — at least until a hot issue is broached. Then, you could find out otherwise. Your ability to draw out others emerges.

You know the right move to make. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ### Your efforts make a difference, yet an associate could have a negative attitude.

Fortunately, this person does not rule the world. A friend might share his or her thoughts. Listen carefully, as he or she will be coming from an intuitive level. Tonight: Get some exercise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) #### You will find a situation provocative. You might feel as if a boss is making assumptions that may not be grounded. Know that you

‘Sleepy Hollow’ star teases ‘revelations’ NEW YORK (AP) — British actor T om Mison, who plays Ichabod Crane on the Fox series “Sleepy Hollow,” predicts fans are in for a sleepless night.

Mison said in a recent interview that in the two-hour Season 1 finale, airing Monday at 8 p.m. EST, “There will be so many revelations and so many shocks that you’ll want to stay up and scream at a wall and probably hit your head against a wall and so many surprises that you’re gonna kick yourself that you didn’t see some of these coming.”

It might sound dramatic, but the actor said he believes the fans will be surprised because of clues they likely missed along the way.

“The seeds have been sewn thr oughout the season, clues as to what’s coming, and as far as I know nobody’s r eally guessed anything,” Mison said.

Roswell Daily Record

“Sleepy Hollow” is described as a retelling of the Washington Irving short story but set in the modern day. Ichabod has awoken two centuries after being killed in the Revolutionary War. He must adjust to this new time period, battle the headless horseman and prevent the looming apocalypse.

“There’s nothing else like it r eally,” Mison said. “If you’re a fan of procedurals then you’ll like it. If you’re a fan of horror then you’ll like it.”

Plus it’s funny, especially as Ichabod tries to get comfortable in the 21st century. One especially humorous scene featur es him pouring his heart out to the OnStar voice in a car.

The cast and crew are on hiatus before Season 2 begins filming.

Fallon, Crystal among Leno’s final guests

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Jay Leno will close out his 22year run as host of NBC’s the “Tonight” show with a nod to the future and to the past.

His heir apparent, Jimmy Fallon, will kick off Leno’s final week with a guest appearance on Feb. 3. Fallon is taking over the gig after hosting NBC’s “Late Night” since 2009.

Leno’s final night, on Feb. 6, will feature Billy Crystal, who was Leno’s first guest in May 1992 when he succeeded Johnny Carson. Country superstar Garth Brooks will also appear.

Leno’s last week will also include Betty White, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, country singer Blake Shelton, musician Lyle Lovett and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley.

Fallon starts his run on Feb. 17 during the second week of the network’s Olympics coverage. As a result, the “Tonight” show will air at midnight following the nightly games coverage from Sochi, Russia. On Feb. 24, the show will revert to its regular 11:35 p.m. slot.

NBC Entertainment president Robert Greenblatt is hoping to continue the network’s relationship with Leno after he leaves late night.

“I would love him to do specials with us, and we’ve got ideas about other sorts of shows he can host,” Greenblatt said Sunday at the Television Critics Association meeting.

“As he told me recently, NBC has really been his only home.”

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

SUPER B WL XLVIII Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos and Richard Sherman’s Seattle Seahawks were the NFL’s best all season, so it’s fitting that they’ll meet in the Super Bowl.

Nobody scored as many points or gained as many yards as the Broncos.

Nobody allowed as few points or gave up as few yards as the Seahawks.

And nobody won as many games as those clubs, either.

What a way to finish the season. When the AFC champion Broncos (15-3) play the NFC champion Seahawks (15-3) on Feb. 2 at what could be a chilly MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., it will be the first Super Bowl since 1991 pitting the league’s highest-scoring team in the regular season against the team that was scored on the least, according to STATS. It’s also only the second time in the last 20 Super Bowls that the No. 1 seed in each conference reached the NFL championship game.

“It will be a great matchup,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “I think it’s an extraordinary opportunity to go against a guy that set all the records in the history of the game.”

That, of course, would be Manning, the 37-year-old quarterback who is the only four -time NFL MVP — and no one would be sur-

prised if No. 5 arrives the night before the Super Bowl. He established marks by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, helping Denver lead the league with 37.9 points and 457.3 yards per game.

Manning is an inescapable pitchman, too, seen Sunday after Sunday during TV commercials.

Hey, there he was selling cars during breaks in the broadcast of the NFC title game. Expect even more face time now.

Manning’s oft-told tale, certain to be repeated a million times in the coming days, includes his comeback from a series of surgical procedures to his neck, attempts to cure problems that led him to sit out the entire 2011 season. That also led the Indianapolis Colts to send him packing despite two Super Bowl appearances with that club, including a title in 2007.

Richard “It’s certainly well-docSherman umented what my journey the past 2 1⁄2 years has been,” said Manning, who could become the first starting QB to lead two franchises to titles, “but this team’s overcome a lot of obstacles this year.”

Creighton upsets No. 4 ’Nova MEN’S BASKETBALL

Champ’s finally in AP Photo

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Champ Bailey finally gets a chance to live up to his name.

The 12-time Pro Bowler is headed to his first Super Bowl in his 15th — and most trying — NFL season, one in which he missed 11 games and parts of two others because of a nagging foot injury.

“It hurt not being out there,” Bailey said after Denver topped New England in the AFC championship game, “but here I am. I’m on the field and my team’s still in the running.

That’s what it’s all about.”

Bailey’s subdued celebration and measured reaction in delirious Denver stood in stark contrast to the scene in Seattle later Sunday night, where Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman stole the spotlight with his game-saving deflection, his taunting of Michael Crabtree and his television rant on the field afterward.

The two contrasting styles will draw much attention in the days leading up to the Super Bowl See FINALLY, Page B3

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ethan Wragge tied a school record with nine 3-pointers for all 27 points, Doug McDermott hit five 3s and scored 23 points, and Creighton set a team mark with 21 3-pointers in a 96-68 victory over No. 4 Villanova on Monday night.

The Bluejays (16-3, 6-1 Big East) topped the school record of 20 3s set in 2005 against Chattanooga. Kyle Korver hit nine 3s against Evansville on Jan. 15, 2003. The Bluejays set a Big East record for most 3s in a game.

They hit their first nine 3s and never looked back against Villanova (16-2, 5-1) which had romped its way toward its highest ranking in four years. They made 21 of 35 3-pointers and led by as many as 40 points.

Wragge hit eight 3s in the first half and Creighton built a 28-point lead.

Wragge tied Korver’s record with his ninth 3-pointer with 13:59 left for a 68-45 lead. McDermott followed with his third 3 and Austin Chatman hit one the next time down for the

Mavericks hang on to beat Cavs

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks spent most of Monday afternoon playing as if they had a point to prove. They spent the final minutes barely hanging on for a narrow victory.

The Mavericks squandered nearly all of a 24-point lead before finally subduing the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 102-97 win.

What appeared to be an easy day turned into a white-knuckler for Dallas coach Rick Carlisle, whose team bounced back from its worst performance of the season in a home loss to Portland on Saturday.

“We did a good job of holding them off at the end,” Carlisle said. “We got it done.

That’s the bottom line.”

Monta Ellis scored 22 points, Shawn Marion added 18 and the Mavericks had six players in double figures, but the game was in doubt until the final seconds.

remaining, the Cavaliers were called for a five-second violation when Jarrett Jack failed to get the ball inbounds. Ellis put the game away with two free throws with 1.1 seconds left.

Carlisle called Saturday’s loss, in which the Mavericks trailed by 38 points early in the fourth quarter, “beyond embarrassing.”

And while Monday’s game had too much drama, Carlisle was happy to get out of town with a win.

“It’s the NBA,” he said “It’s supposed to get hairy.”

“This was a big bounce-back win from an embarrassing loss the other day,” Ellis said. “We’ll be a great team if we continue to play like that with our back against the wall when we face adversity.”

Super Bowl XLVIII: Denver slight favorite early

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Oddsmakers had trouble picking the favorite in what figures to be one of the most evenly matched — and heavily bet — Super Bowls ever.

Bettors knew who they wanted, though, putting early money on Denver and making the Broncos a slight favorite to beat the Seattle Seahawks in most of this city’s legal betting parlors.

Denver was favored by 1 point at several books in the early betting, while others had the Broncos as high as a 3-point pick. The move to the Broncos came after some books had initially made the Seahawks as much as a 2-

“We’re just trying to figure out what the market will be and get a feel of where money will go,” said Jay Kornegay, who runs the LVH sports book and initially had the Seahawks favored. “At this point it doesn’t take a lot to move the line.”

At the South Point sports book, Jimmy Vaccaro was on the phone talking about where he thought the line was going to go when a bettor came to the window and put $25,000 on the Broncos.

That moved the game from pick ‘em to the Broncos being favored by 1 point, as the odds were adjusted to take in the bet.

million on this game I’d be really puzzled.”

Kor negay said he made the Seahawks a 2-point favorite in his opening line because the Seahawks have a slightly higher power rating than the Broncos and a defense that might be the key in a game played outdoors in what could be cold temperatures.

“With the game being in New York and the early forecast for below normal temperatures that favors a defensive team,” he said.

Patrick Reed gets second win at Humana Challenge Roswell Daily Record

LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Reed got an early start in golf.

“When I was born, there was a golf club in my crib,” Reed said.

He got a big jump on the field in the Humana Challenge, too, shooting three straight 9-under 63s to take a seven-stroke lead into the final round.

Struggling with the pace of his putts, he needed almost all of that cushion Sunday, closing with a 1-under 71 at PGA West to beat R yan Palmer by two strokes.

“A lot tougher than the first three rounds,” Reed said. “My speed was off today. I left a lot of putts short. It seemed like the first three days the ball was just trickling over the front edge, and today it seemed like it came to a screeching halt.”

Finally resembling the guy who talked Saturday about

being in a “putting coma,” Reed ran in an 18-footer for birdie on the par-3 15th to push his lead to three strokes.

“It felt comfortable. It felt great,” Reed said. “I was able to play the last three holes just for par rather than trying to make birdies or trying to make something happen.”

He did par the last three to finish at 28-under 260 in the three-course event that he opened and closed on the Arnold Palmer Private Course.

The 23-year -old Reed has two victories in his first 46 PGA Tour starts, winning the Wyndham Championship in August.

He jumped from 69th to 41st in the world ranking, enough to lock up a spot in the 64-man Match Play Championship.

“I always play to try to prove to everybody that I belong out here,” Reed said. “As well as, I belong, not only out here on

Sherman is the 25-year -old trash-talking leader of the league’s best defense, Bailey the 35-year-old sage of a unit that’s been through the ringer this season, but has come on strong over the past month despite injuries that cost them several starters, including Von Miller and Chris Harris Jr. Bailey is one of the league’s top cornerbacks, but he’s clearly on the downslope of his spectacular career that includes the most Pro Bowls by a defensive back in NFL history.

Bailey was greeted in the locker room by for mer teammate John Lynch, who was with him

None more serious, perhaps, than coach John Fox’s absence for about a month because of a heart operation. Other issues included the fax faux pas that precipitated the departure of pass rusher Elvis Dumervil, star linebacker Von Miller’s drug-testing suspension and seasonending knee injury, and the losses of a handful of other starters on defense.

“Being in my 16th season, going to my third Super Bowl — I know how hard it is to get there,” Manning said.

He threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-16 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game Sunday. Manning’s of fense scored on six consecutive possessions, accounted for more than 500 yards, had zero tur novers and zero sacks.

Ol’ No. 18’s opposite number in two weeks, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, provides a real contrast as he seeks his — and the Seahawks’ — first Super Bowl trophy.

Wilson is 6 inches shorter, 12 years younger, a skilled scrambler in only his second pro season after slipping to the third round of the draft; he’s a guy who had to transfer colleges to get playing time and thought about pursuing a baseball career instead.

“Any time you get to the Super Bowl,” Wilson said after Seattle beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday, “it’s a special time.”

Other members of the Seahawks getting the chance to introduce themselves to a wide audience include rugged running back Marshawn L ynch — fans tossed packs of his favorite candy, Skittles, onto the field after a 40yard TD run in the third quarter — and Carroll, a rah-rah sort who was a title-winning college coach at Southern California.

And maybe, just maybe, some of Manning’s lessheralded defensive teammates — the ones who

Reed took a call from former President Bill Clinton — the tournament is run in partnership with the Clinton Foundation — during his interview session.

“He told me to get myself back in that zone more often,” Reed said. “Because he said it was a lot of fun to watch.”

Palmer made a 15-foot eagle putt on the final hole for a 63.

“What can you do with what Patrick did this week?” Palmer said. “It’s ridiculous what he did. Amazing how good he played. We’ll come up a couple short, but it was a win in my game because I was playing for second today.”

Zach Johnson and Justin Leonard tied for third at 25 under. Johnson birdied the final five holes for a 62, the best round of the week.

the previous time he’d come this close to the Super Bowl — 2,919 days earlier.

One week after sealing a playoff win with a 100-yard interception return to hand Tom Brady his first playof f loss back in 2006, Bailey had another interception in his grasp and the end zone in his sights, but Hines Ward somehow came down with the football instead and Pittsburgh went on to beat Denver 34-17 for the AFC title following the 2005 season.

“I said he’d play really big and I think quietly he really did,” L ynch said. “It’s been a tough year. Everyone thinks he’s old, over the hill, but he’s been a great player throughout his whole career and great players, when it matters most, play great.”

Seattle’s only other trip to the big game ended with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006. Denver will be playing in its seventh Super Bowl and eyeing a third title, to go with those from 1998 and 1999, when current executive John Elway was the QB. In addition to Elway, Manning can match his younger brother Eli with a second Super Bowl crown.

Eli, a spectator on Sunday in Denver, won two trophies with the New York Giants, whose stadium hosts this year’s Super Bowl, the first to be played outdoors at a cold-weather site.

“I thought yesterday was his best performance of the season,” coach John Fox said Monday.

Peyton Manning, who knows a little bit about overcoming injuries and long odds to reach the Super Bowl, said he was “certainly happy for Champ, I know a lot of people are.”

“There’s a guy — let’s see, Champ’s one year younger than me so he’s in his 15th season — like I said, it’s hard to get to the Super Bowl. It’s hard to win it, but I’m telling you it’s hard to get there,” Manning said. “... I’m glad that he’s back out there on the field. He’s battled through some injuries and has stayed at

Seattle’s defense, led by Sherman, allowed an average of 14.4 points and 273.6 yards, and topped the NFL in takeaways.

On Sunday, the Seahawks forced three tur novers in the fourth quarter alone, including a victory-sealing interception

by Malcolm Smith after Sherman stretched his left hand to tip Colin Kaepernick’s pass away from receiver Michael Crabtree in the end zone.

“I’m the best corner in the game,” said Sherman, an All-Pro. “When you try

it and been committed to his rehab.”

Bailey started just three games this season, and he finished just one of those, against Jacksonville on Oct. 13. After aggravating his foot injury in his two other starts, he was relegated to slot duty by the time he finally got healthy in midDecember.

That changed when Harris got hurt in the Broncos’ playoff win over San Diego and Bailey started Sunday opposite Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, then moved into the slot on passing downs to thwart the heart of the Patriots’ offense.

“I knew I’d be back at some point,” Bailey said. “My coaches, teammates, they never gave up on me. They knew I’d be back to 100 percent at some point. Here I am, I’m playing probably my

stunning 29-point lead.

Creighton’s first win this season against a ranked team was a mere formality.

The Bluejays refused to slow down from 3-point range, with McDermott’s fourth 3 extending the lead to 30 and making them 19 for 31.

Oh, and Creighton had 19 3s at the same time Villanova had 16 total field goals.

McDermott, the two-time All-America, tied Creighton’s team record with 20 3s not long after, sending the crowd at the home of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers headed to the exits.

best football of the year — because I haven’t played much.

I’m just looking forward to the next one, making sure my body is right for the next game.”

And don’t count on him getting caught up in the comparisons at the Super Bowl between him and Sherman, who represents this new breed of cornerback, the bigger, athletic DBs who trash talk as well as any of the receivers they cover.

About the only trash-talking that came out of Bailey’s mouth Sunday was when he was asked about how the Broncos shut down the Patriots’ ground game.

The Broncos held LeGarrette Blount to 6 yards on five carries a week after scoring four TDs against Indianapolis.

“Well,” Bailey said matter-offactly, “they didn’t play the Broncos last week.”

Creighton’s record 21st 3pointer to make it 88-50 with 7:33 left.

Somehow, this was the same Creighton team that never led in an 81-68 loss at Providence on Saturday.

The Bluejays made only four 3s in the loss.

The Wildcats played with their highest ranking since they were No. 3 on Feb. 15, 2010. They are not going to stay No. 4 for long.

Villanova might want to work on defending Wragge in the Feb. 16 rematch.

James Bell scored 19 points for the Wildcats.

Wragge took all of six shots this season inside the 3-point arc, and with good reason. He’s rarely missed from long range.

Against Villanova, the 49-percent 3-point shooter didn’t miss at all, at least on his first seven attempts.

His seventh 3 put the Bluejays up 27-8 just 7 1⁄2 minutes into the game. With McDermott running into double teams, Wragge was all alone, even hitting one in front of Villanova’s bench without a defender within 2 feet of him. Even with the hot hand, Wragge hit the bench for a spell — maybe he had a tired arm — to rest up from all those 3s.

His teammates picked up the slack. McDer mott, Manigat and Isaiah Zierden each hit two 3s and Creighton finished the first half a whopping 14 of 22 (64 percent) from beyond the arc. Creighton’s season high had been 16 against Chicago State on Dec. 29.

The Bluejays had 11 assists on their first 12 baskets and led by as many as 28 points

Federer in quarterfinals again MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — When the draw for the Australian Open was made, it wasn’t Roger Federer who was being widely touted as the prime contender to claim an 18th major title.

All that hype surrounded Serena Williams, but she was knocked out in the fourth round.

Federer is still three match wins away from that milestone, but after his 6-3, 75, 6-4 demolition of No. 10-seeded JoWilfried Tsonga on Monday night, it’s clear he’s up for the challenge.

On a day when No. 3 Maria Sharapova was upset by No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova, following top-ranked Williams out of the tournament and opening up the women’s draw for defending champion Victoria Azarenka, the leading male contenders on the heavily stacked top half advanced to the quarterfinals.

Progressing along with Federer were top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who had a 7-6 (3), 7-5, 7-6 (3) win over Kei Nishikori — though he was broken twice and got a time violation in the third set — and Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who overcame a racket-smashing, frustrating finish to the third set to beat Stephane Robert 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-2.

Now for the harder part.

Federer is back in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time since last year’s French Open — equaling Jimmy Connors’ Open-era record with his 41st trip to the last eight in a major. He next plays Murray, a three-time Australian Open finalist. A win could set up a semifinal against Nadal, who next plays firsttime major quarterfinalist Grigor Dimitrov.

A win there for Federer would likely

set up a final against three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic — the only other man who has won four Australian titles in the Open era. Djokovic is playing his quarterfinal Tuesday against No. 8 Stan Wawrinka.

“It’s a tough thing to do. I don’t know if it’s been done before,” sixth-seeded Federer said of his tough road to the title.

“Then again, if you don’t embrace that challenge, you might as well not enter the draw. You might as well stay at home and watch other guys battle it out.

“That’s what I like. I like playing the best ... and you need to take it to them.”

Federer certainly did that against Tsonga, barely dropping a point on serve in the first set and putting the 2008 Australian Open finalist under pressure right away with an early break. The 32year -old Swiss star was so relentless that Tsonga, aggravated at not being able to threaten Federer at all, screamed and smacked a ball into the crowd after losing an exchange of close volleys.

From Tsonga’s side, it looked like he was facing the Federer of old — before the crisis of confidence, the new racket, and before his record streak of reaching the quarter finals at 36 consecutive majors came to a halt with a shocking second-round defeat at Wimbledon.

Azarenka played the second match on Rod Laver Arena and extended her winning streak at Melbourne Park to 18 with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over No. 13-seeded Sloane Stephens, whom she also beat in a contentious semifinal last year. She will next play No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska, who finished off day eight with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Garbine Muguruza.

NBA capsules: Millsap scores 26, Hawks beat Heat

ATLANTA (AP) — Paul Millsap scored 26 points and the Atlanta Hawks overcame LeBron James’ 30 points to beat the Miami Heat 121-114 Monday night.

DeMarre Carroll added 19 points and Pero Antic had 17 for the Hawks, who snapped a nine-game losing streak in their series with the Heat.

Chris Bosh had 21 points for Miami, which was without Dwyane Wade for the second straight game.

Atlanta took its first win over Miami since Jan 2, 2012, and its first home win in the series since Nov. 18, 2009.

Nets 103, Knicks 80 NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Johnson scored 25 points and Brooklyn sent the Knicks to a fourth straight loss, evening this season’s New York rivalry at a game apiece.

Making a triumphant return from London and completing a three-game, three-country road trip, the Nets improved to 7-1 in 2014 and avenged last month’s blowout loss.

Andray Blatche had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Alan Anderson scored 15 points for the Nets.

Carmelo Anthony had 26 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, who beat the Nets 113-83 in Brooklyn but were hardly ever in this one. They lost on Martin Luther King Jr. Day for the fourth straight time, the last two both at home to the Nets.

Bulls 102, Lakers 100, OT CHICAGO (AP) — Taj Gibson made a layup at the buzzer in overtime, lifting Chicago to victory over Los Angeles.

With nine-tenths of a second left, Mike Dunleavy inbounded from underneath the basket and found Gibson cutting down the middle. The athletic forward then muscled toward the hoop for the winning basket, which was confirmed in a video review by the officials.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 17 points and DeJuan Blair added 13 for the Mavericks.

Dallas built a 59-35 lead late in the second quarter and maintained a double-figure lead for most of the second half before the Cavaliers rallied. Cleveland cut the lead into single figures early in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers got the lead to 91-89 on Deng’s 3pointer, but Irving missed a jumper and a 3-point attempt on the same possession when Cleveland had a chance to tie or take the lead.

pushed the lead to 97-90 with 1:35 to play. Cleveland cut the lead to 98-95, but two free throws by Jose Calderon with 11.1 seconds remaining pushed the lead to five. Varejao’s basket with 5.7 left made it 100-97.

Ellis missed two free throws with 2.8 seconds left and gave Cleveland one last chance. The Cavaliers called timeout, but Carlisle put 6-foot-10 center Brandan Wright on Jack, who couldn’t get off the pass on a play that was designed to get Irving the ball.

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown thought Irving was open in the far corner on the other side of the floor.

“I don’t know if we’ve ever been that wide open before at the end of games on a situation like that,” he said. “Jack just couldn’t see him.”

“It was going to be a tough pass,” Irving said. “It was a crucial turnover.

Whether I was open or not doesn’t matter. We have to move on and get ready for our next game.”

Bobcats 100, Raptors 95 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Al Jefferson had 22 points and 19 rebounds, and Charlotte held on to beat Toronto for the seventh straight time at home.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I just read the letter from “Twice Bitten in Washington” (Nov. 4), who had thanked veterans for their service to our country and received several negative responses. I’m a retired vet, dying from Agent Orange poisoning. I served two tours in Vietnam, and when I retur ned from ‘Nam, I was called a baby killer, spat upon and refused taxi service because I was in uniform.

America has had a change in attitude since the Vietnam War. Today, many folks appreciate

what the military is doing. I have been thanked several times while wearing my Vietnam veterans hat and it makes me feel great, to the point my eyes water.

Tell “Twice Bitten” to continue thanking the military vets.

It means a lot, especially to vets like me. Sure beats being called a baby killer.

VIETNAM VET

DEAR VIETNAM VET: I received many letters like yours from Vietnam vets who were also not thanked for their service when they returned home. Like you, they very much appreciate hearing a “delayed” thanks for their service. I would like to thank you and all the readers who responded to that column with such emotional and sometimes gut-wrenching stories. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I would like to offer “Twice” an explanation for the reaction

COMICS

she received. I served two tours in Iraq and lost some good friends. When vets retur n home from war, home is a scary place. The life we lived and breathed is no longer. After spending so much time fearing the unknown and protecting ourselves physically and emotionally, we can’t stop.

Many of us came home feeling guilty that we lived while others died — ashamed that we might not have done enough, that we should have been the one who was laid to rest, that maybe if we had looked harder, fought harder, we wouldn’t have lost a soldier.

When I retur ned home, I reacted the way “Twice” described. I was resentful that someone would take the time to honor me, but not the friends I lost. It was a long time before I realized that by honoring me with their sincere thanks, they were honoring every soldier we have ever lost.

Now when I am thanked, I

shake hands, I hug, and I thank them for their respect.

To “Twice”: Never stop! Do not be afraid. We are not hateful or angry. We are scared and sad. Your expression of thanks means more than any parade, any medal or any award could ever mean.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Readers: A recent column offered safety hints for using an ATM (automated teller machine). Many of you wrote in with a “safety hint” you wanted to see added to that list. However, the hint is NOT CORRECT and could even be dangerous to use.

The hint you shared is about putting your ATM PIN (personal identification number) in backward to help contact police if you are forced to use the ATM by a criminal. The “hint” reports that supposedly the money comes out, and the police do, too. But the robber has no idea that the police have been contacted and are on the way.

Sorry, folks, this is not so. While it is true that the technology exists, a Federal Trade Commission study found that it just did not make sense to have it installed in ATMs. Also, the research suggested it may actually be more dangerous to have this system available, and that ATMs are safe enough.

So, DO NOT attempt to put your PIN in backward if you are in danger. Give the person what he or she wants, get to a safe place and contact police ASAP. Heloise

Dear Heloise: Why do we always use a bookmark to mark just the pages we are between? I came upon this hint: Place a two-sided bookmark HORIZONTALLY across the print where you stop reading.

My bookmark has printing on the side that I leave next to the print in the book, and a picture on the other side. The bookmark protrudes from the side instead of the top of the book, and I can always find just where I stopped reading.

Now I save time by not reading the same paragraph again until I find where I left off.

Samantha H. in Texas Dear Heloise: A co-worker was scheduled for major surgery and was going to be home recovering for a couple of months. Our office collected DVDs, books and magazines to send home with her so she would have plenty of things to keep her occupied.

Co-workers can do even more (depending on office size) by scheduling food drop-offs, collecting restaurant gift cards or offering drives to doctor visits.

Dear Heloise: Kids love to play with glue and glitter. My hint is about removing glitter from a child’s face, especially around the eyes.

It’s quite simple: Just use a piece of clear office tape. Place the tape lightly over the stubborn glitter and gently pull it off. If it doesn’t come off the first time, use a little more pressure on the tape so it will adhere to the glitter. This is much easier than trying to wash it off.

Wedding insurance expands Claudio Abbado dies at 80 as cost of weddings balloons HAR TFORD, Conn. (AP) — Worried about the groom getting cold feet? There’s an insurance policy for that.

With the cost of the average American wedding reaching about $26,000, insurers have been selling a growing number of policies to protect against losses from extreme weather, illness and, in one firm’s case, even a sudden change of heart.

Cheryl Winter spent $500 for Hartfordbased Travelers Cos. Inc. to cover her daughter’s $50,000 destination wedding last October in New Orleans, where her biggest concern was a potential hurricane. The weather cooperated, but the limousine never showed up. Her daughter took a taxi cab to the church, and they used the insurance policy to claim the deposit money they couldn’t get back from the limo driver.

“No one wants to be walking in the French Quarter in a long gown and high heels,” said Winter, who lives in the Houston area.

The insurance is offered by a small number of U.S. companies. Insurers declined to provide data on the number of customers beyond saying they are growing steadily. It can cover losses from issues ranging from bankrupt wedding halls to cancelations forced by unexpected military deployments. Travelers says issues with vendors account for about a quarter of the claims, with most of those

For Travelers, an insurance giant with annual revenue of $26 billion, the policies will not make or break the bottom line.

But the wedding insurance it began selling in 2007 is also a way to connect with a couple who might later think of the company for home insurance and other life milestones.

“It could be the beginning of a relationship with a young couple,” said Ed Charlebois, a Travelers vice president for personal insurance.

Wedsafe, backed by Aon, also offers wedding insurance, which differs little from the specialty insurance that firms may offer for other kinds of events and celebrations.

For parents concerned about a relationship souring before the exchange of vows, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co. offers change of heart insurance. It’s been available since 2007, but the program administrator said the fraud rate soared in the early years as policies were bought for couples who were known to be fighting. That coverage now applies only if the bride or groom calls off the wedding more than nine months beforehand.

“Coverage does not exist once you hit the altar,” said administrator Rob Nuccio of R.V. Nuccio & Associates. “The only ones who were buying it were the ones who knew they would have a claim.”

ROME (AP) — Claudio Abbado, a star in the great generation of Italian conductors revered for developing a rapport with members of the world’s leading orchestras while still allowing them their independence, died Monday. He was 80.

Abbado died at home in Bologna after a long illness, said Raffaella Grimaudo, spokeswoman for the Bologna mayor’s office.

Abbado made his debut in 1960 at La Scala in his home city of Milan and went on to be its music director for nearly 20 years. Among his many other positions were as music director of the Vienna State Opera, the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra and as principal guest conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Even as he battled illness in his later years, sharply cutting back on his appearances, Abbado founded his own all-star orchestra in Lucerne, Switzerland, and devoted more time to training young musicians and founding youth orchestras in Europe.

Just last year, Italy’s president paid tribute to him by naming him senator for life.

Roswell Daily Record

In an unusually personal message of condolences, President Giorgio Napolitano said Abbado had “honored the great musical tradition of our country in Europe and the rest of the world.”

The Berlin Philharmonic, where Abbado was chief conductor from 1990 to 2002, said it was mourning ‘’an extraordinary musician and person.” ‘’His love of music and his insatiable curiosity were an inspiration to us,” a statement on the orchestra’s website said.

Symphony Chicago Orchestra Music Director Ricardo Muti said he admired Abbado for the “seriousness and profundity that characterized his life as a musician and as a Maestro.”

Abbado was known for his musical ability, for conducting his programs without scores and for his rapport with orchestra members.

He had suffered health problems for many years, resigning his Vienna Opera post for unspecified health reasons in 1991 and then undergoing stomach cancer surgery in 2000.

La Scala said illness forced the cancellation of

two highly anticipated concerts in 2010 that were to have marked his return to the Milan opera house for the first time in 25 years and be the 50th anniversary of his conducting debut. The excitement had been such that Abbado had requested that 90,000 trees be planted in his name for the benefit of Milan residents as a living memorial to mark his return to the city. The project was later abandoned by the city as too costly.

A tribute on La Scala’s website said Abbado had given the opera house ‘’18 of his finest years,” starting in 1986 when he was named musical director of the orchestra.

It hailed Abbado for leaving his mark as a conductor ‘’without confines, as a musician without preconceptions, as a man of theater ready to risk, as a man of thought open to the world.”

Abbado is survived by his second wife and four children.

A wake was planned for Tuesday in a Bologna church, where music will be played in tribute, the LaPresse agency reported from that city.
