WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to regain their budget footing versus President Barack Obama, Republicans controlling the House are moving quickly to try to defuse a potential debt crisis with legislation to prevent a first-ever U.S. default for at least three months.

BIDEN IN 2016?

January 23, 2013

The Republicans are giving up for now on trying to extract spending cuts from Democrats in return for an increase in the gover nment’s borrowing cap. But

the respite promises to be only temporary, with the stage still set for major battles between the GOP and Obama over taxes, spending and deficits.

The first step comes today with a House vote on GOP-sponsored legislation that would give the government enough borrowing leeway to meet three months’ worth of obligations, delaying a showdown next month that Republicans fear they would lose. Republicans leaving a

two-hour meeting Tuesday afternoon appeared confident that the measure would pass.

While it’s commonly assumed that the Treasury Department wouldn’t allow a disastrous default on U.S. Treasury notes, the prospect of failing to meet other U.S. obligations such as payments to contractors, unemployment benefits and Social Security checks would also be reputation See GOP, Page A3

State Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen is expected today to introduce a bill that will limit liability of spaceflight manufacturers and suppliers of Spaceport America. In a press conference Tuesday, Democratic leaders from the Senate and House of Representatives announced that a deal had been reached between the spaceport’s anchor tenant Virgin Galactic and the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association. Sen. Michael S. Sanchez, D-Belen, said negotiations between the two parties had been difficult, “but in the end, they both realized and were convinced that it was in the best interest of the state of New Mexico.” The bill will limit liability of “suppliers or manufacturers of components, services or vehicles to the spaceflight,”

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico courts need more judges to cope with a case backlog and delays in resolving civil and domestic lawsuits, the chief justice of the state Supreme Court said Tuesday. In a speech to a joint session of the Legislature, Chief Justice Petra Jimenez Maes said a study of the court system’s workload found a need for 23 judges statewide. However, she said the judiciary is asking the Legislature to approve nine judges in next year’s budget. The cost is $3.5 million, which includes judges and support staff. “Children in a high conflict divorce and custody case suf fer the consequences of their parents’ behavior when it takes over a year and a half for the court to hear their case,” Maes said. “The parties in a

personal injury case can’t move on with their lives when it takes the court more than a year to retry a case after a jury could not reach a decision.” In 2012, she said, state district courts cleared about 90 percent of the cases that were filed but that was down from almost 98 percent in 2008. The court’s request is for new district court judges in Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Lovington, Bernalillo and three in Albuquerque, along with a magistrate court judge in Las Cruces and a Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court judge. Maes also appealed to lawmakers to approve a salary increase for court system employees. Like other state workers, judicial employees haven’t received a pay raise since

Peggy Brewer

The school district election, scheduled for Feb. 5, will feature many familiar faces in the running for positions on area school boards. Peggy Brewer, Ed.D., an incumbent board member of the Roswell Independent School District, looks to retain her seat in District 3, which covers most of city’s southwestern area. A veteran of the RISD for more than 35 years, Brewer was selected to serve the remainder of Milburn Dolen’s term when he resigned in 2011. As a board member, she said she works with the superintendent to solve problems and address concer ns in schools. Among their duties, Brewer said board members monitor the school’s budget, stu-

dent and teacher achievement and the renovation and building of facilities to create safe, efficient schools. During her career with RISD, Brewer per for med in various capacities, from a teacher to a principal to even a teacher of principals. Though retired, Brewer continues to work in the educational field in ways such as supervising student teachers and consulting with school districts in other cities. “Education is so important; it opens doors for students,” she said. “The world is theirs with an education.” Brewer, a native of Roswell, graduated from Roswell High and Eastern New Mexico University-Portales and obtained a doctorate in education from Walden University in 2011. Brewer said she brings her

knowledge of both education and Roswell to the board, as schools and community rely on each other to work well.

“Together, we create great schools and great schools create a great community,” she said. “I just believe you're constantly learning, improving your skills and listening to the community and then doing something about that.” Along with community involvement, Brewer also believes more should be done toward recruitment, retention and development of staf f, such as commending teachers for a job well done.

“Sometimes people just need a pat on the back,” she said. “Without that high quality of staff, student achievement couldn't take place. They all go hand in hand.”

NEED A PASSPORT? TRY DEXTER, HAGERMAN Post office locations in Roswell will not process passport applications for the time being due to a lack of staff members with the necessary training. Postmaster Karla Murphy said the post office recently lost two employees who had the required training to process passports and more staff members are being trained to replace them. Murphy estimated that

it would be at least three weeks before the post office would be ready to start processing again. In the meantime, the post office will continue to provide passport applications and information and processing is available at the Dexter and Hagerman post office locations. To make an appointment, call the Dexter location at 734-5823 or the Hagerman location at 752-3730.

HS grad rate 67.3%

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The federal government reports that New Mexico’s graduation rate for the 2009-2010 was 67.3 percent. That’s below the national average of 78.2 percent. The so-called “average freshman graduation rates” indicate the percentage of 9th graders who go on to graduate within four years. The rates are being reported by the National Center for Education Statistics, which is part of the U.S. Department of Education. States’ rates ranged from 57.8 percent in Nevada at the low end to 91.4 percent in Vermont at the high end.

Homeless count Jan. 28 JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Jan. 28 marks the second Point-in-Time count of area homeless. Stephanie Lefebvre of the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness said that Roswell and Chaves County were going to be specifically targeted as one of the most underreported counties in New Mexico. Although these counts have taken place elsewhere in the past, 2011 was the first year that Chaves County participated. The PIT count figures will be used to distribute funding to help the homeless the throughout New Mexico, particularly in areas of shelter and housing. The results of the 2011 count revealed 122 homeless; however, those who participated in the count believe the figure underestimates the number of homeless in the county. The 2011 PIT count took place on a Sunday when many of the agencies, such as the Community Kitchen and Harvest Ministries were closed. Attorney Shelbie Allen, who worked with the late Judge Ralph Shamas on mental health issues, said that Roswell, as a rural community, presented unique challenges for the count. The camps are difficult to find. “Unlike urban areas where you see the homeless on Main Street and in the center of town, most the homeless in Roswell live on the outskirts of town, under street and railroad bridges.” Allen described the downward spiral faced by the homeless, without assistance. “They have a great deal of dif ficulty returning to work because the problems they face every day. They have no place to take a bath or a shower; they have no documentation and no transportation, so it’s almost impossible for them to find a job.” While the PIT survey will count the people who were homeless on Jan. 28, the survey will continue from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1. “We will survey unsheltered people as they access services from Tuesday, Jan. 29, through Friday Feb. 1, asking them where they spent the night of Monday, Jan. 28, 2013,” said Lefebvre.

The local Homeless Committee hopes to get community involvement in the PIT survey. “Each agency will be contacted individually by a member of the committee so that the purpose and value of the survey can be explained,” said committee member Jane Batson.

She referred to the count as critical in providing data required for the county to apply for funding. “In addition, it will provide critical information to key city and county leaders about the magnitude of the homeless situation in Roswell and Chaves County.” At their Oct. 15 meeting, a number of agencies were identified that provide services which do not include housing. Those agencies will be asked to make the for ms available to the homeless from Tuesday to Friday next week.

Batson said, “We also need help to find those homeless individuals who might not routinely come in contact with agencies serving the homeless. Of particular concer n are those individuals who ‘couch surf’ or move from house to house. ... We know that a number of teens in Roswell and Chaves County are in that situation. We also need help to contact individuals who are living in homeless camps, along the river, and in other locations.” The committee wants to hear from any entity in Roswell and Chaves County that assists homeless individuals. “We will be glad to get the individual survey for m to any entity that believes it may provide service to homeless individuals during that time frame,” said Batson. “We want to hear from churches, individuals who may quietly provide help to the homeless, and organizations that we may not have identified in the initial listing.”

For more infor mation, contact: Jesse Chaves of LC5, a collaborative for housing, 575-624-6071; Jane Batson at 575-6247233; Lefebvre at 505-9829000; or email Stephaniel@nmceh.org.

Cloutier visits Legislature Drew Cloutier, president of the New Mexico Bar Association, visited the New Mexico State Legislature on Tuesday. Cloutier is a member of Hinkle Law Firm and is a resident of Roswell. “We’re here today to hopefully advance the cause of justice at the Legislature,” said Cloutier. “The state is short on judges, and many judges are underpaid,” he said. “As a result, businesses are not getting their cases heard, because the courts have to give priority to criminal cases. Additionally, we would like to make the selection of judges a little less political to ensure that we are electing the best judges — not the best politicians.” “I’m grateful to have Drew Cloutier up here in Santa Fe today, working to enhance our judicial system,” said state Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell. “I have constantly heard of

the problems our state has attracting and keeping judges, because of pay issues. It is my hope that his presence here today — along with our work this session — will serve to strengthen our judicial system, create a better environment for our judges and lay the groundwork to deal with the legal issues that are facing those in my district and across the state.” “It’s great to have Drew here at the session, fighting for the future of our judicial system in New Mexico,” said state Rep. Bob Wooley. “Across our state, there are issues that need to be addressed, and having people from our districts come to Santa Fe to shed light on the issues — as well as of fer possible solutions — is a great way to get discussions started and move in the right direction to provide social justice for all.”

The legislation is disliked by many Democrats, but the White House weighed in Tuesday with a statement that the administration would not oppose the measure, even though Obama just last week disincremental missed increases in the debt ceiling as harmful to the economy. “I am not going to have a monthly, or every three months conversation about whether or not we pay our bills,” Obama said at a press conference Jan. 14.

naled that, at least for now, Republicans were not going to demand a dollar of spending cuts for every dollar of federal borrowing as Boehner long has demanded. It also appeared that Senate Democrats would grudgingly accept the bill. The idea driving the move by GOP leaders is to resequence a series of upcoming budget battles, taking the threat of a potentially devastating gover nment default of f the table and instead setting up a clash in March over automatic across-the-board spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and many domestic programs. Those cuts — postponed by the recent “fiscal cliff” deal — are the punishment for the failure of a 2011 deficit supercommittee to reach an agreement. The cuts, called a sequester in Washingtonspeak, were never intended to take ef fect but were instead aimed at driving activities, and will extend the effective date of the act from 2018 to 2021. Papen will be the primary sponsor of the bill with Sens. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, and Sanchez co-sponsoring. Ingle said he is glad that the two organizations could reach a compromise. Once the bill is introduced, he said he hoped the Legislature could go forward with it not include a pay increase in her budget recommendations submitted to the Legislature. Maes said a pay raise will help in keeping and recruiting court workers. The courts, she said, “cannot expect to retain our best and brightest employees when their take home pay in January 2013 is less than it was in 2009.” Neither the governor nor the LFC recommended money for additional judgeaccomplishments. “It’s a testament to how much this community cares about each other,” he said. “We have all these organizations that benefit so much from it, and people know that by giving to the United Way, you can help all these organizations. I think they really see that you can do a lot of good and help a lot of people.” Luke said he and Adriann sought to get more young people involved this year, tapping into an “energy and enthusiasm” that helped the campaign reach new donors. “We had people who gave $10, and we had some people give $50,000,” he said. “And if you take all those people who gave $10, it adds up

At the time, officials said 20,000 to 30,000 pages of emails and other documents from Allen’s communications with Kelley between 2010 and 2012 were in question. None of the emails have been made public. Shortly after being contacted by the FBI, Panetta referred the matter to the Pentagon’s inspector general, while expressing confidence in Allen and deciding that he would remain in Kabul as commander of all allied forces in Afghanistan. At the same time, Allen’s nomination to be the next U.S. commander of NATO forces in Europe was put on hold. The officials said Tuesday the White House

But Republicans and Obama now appear on a collision course over how to replace the across-theboard cuts. Obama and his Democratic allies insist that additional revenues be part of the solution; Republicans say further tax increases are off the table after the 10-year, $600 billion-plus increase in taxes on wealthier earners forced upon Republicans by Obama earlier this month.

“The sequester is arbitrary, but the fact is that when the sequester goes into effect ... it will have a pretty dramatic effect of people’s attitudes here in Washington and they may get serious about cuts to the mandatory side of the spending equation,” Boehner said, referring to benefit programs like Medicare and food stamps whose budgets essentially run on autopilot.

Pentagon clears Allen in Petraeus case

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pentagon investigation has cleared Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, of professional misconduct in exchanging emails with a civilian woman linked to the sex scandal that led retired Gen. David Petraeus to resign as CIA director. Pentagon press secretary George Little said Tuesday that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was informed of the conclusion by the Pentagon’s inspector general. “The secretary was pleased to learn that allegations of professional misconduct were not substantiated by the investigation,” Little said, adding that Panetta has “complete confidence in the continued leadership” of Allen. The matter had been referred to the Pentagon in November by the FBI during the course of its investigation of emails between

had not decided whether to go forward with the nomination.

Maj. David Nevers, a spokesman for Allen, said he had no immediate comment on reports of his being exonerated.

Allen’s successor in Kabul, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, has been confirmed by the Senate and is scheduled to take over on Feb. 10.

Allen had maintained he did nothing wrong in the Kelley communications, but he has not spoken publicly about the specifics of his email exchanges with her. She served as a sort of social ambassador for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla. Petraeus is a former Central Command commander, and Allen is a for mer deputy commander there.

January 22, 1973 Forty years ago the Supreme Court decided a case that would ultimately end the lives of tens of millions of unborn babies. The legalization of abortion through the Roe v. Wade decision allowed the death of up to 1 out of 3 children born in following generations. On that same day, they released the Doe v. Bolton decision that ultimately made abortion legal up to the day of birth in all 50 states. These decisions were made based on a hierarchy of rights and interests. The rights of the woman, the rights of the state, and the rights of the unborn baby were all compared. Using many different arguments, the prevailing justices found that the right of the unborn baby to live was less important than the right of the woman to end that life. The misplaced comparison between rights ended in the death of 55 million babies and the pain and guilt of millions of women.

Rights v. Right While the rights we share in our country are important, what God views as right is even more so. Abortion has been legal since 1973, but it has never been right in God’s eyes. Christ, who allowed the children to come to Him, who cared for the sick and weak, and who helped the poor and despised is our example to follow - even if our culture and society disagree. The opportunity to join God in caring for the weak and downtrodden is all around us. We can change and save lives through giving or volunteering at Pregnancy Centers. We can help mothers avoid the guilt of abortion by promoting the message of life at fairs and community events. We can mobilize voters to elect pro-life candidates by giving to or volunteering at Right to Life organizations. YOU can even start or join a pro-life group in your church to help your congregation be a part of protecting the unborn. The opportunities to respond to God’s call to do what is right are all around.

There is no precise statistics available for the past five years. These numbers account for officially reported, and recorded abortions, only.

OPINION

The New Mexico Legislature is ready for business

SANTA FE — The New Mexico House of Representatives quickly got organized for business last week. As usual, it took the Senate a little longer. Although Rep. Ken Martinez, of Grants, is new to the job of House speaker, his election by the full House on opening day, last Tuesday, seemed assured. That meant committee appointments could be planned and discussed for public announcement on Wednesday. Over in the Senate, the selection of a president pro tem remained in doubt until the Senate convened at noon on Tuesday. Sen. Mary Kay Papen of Las Cruces had been saying for several days that her selection was a sure thing but it would have been bad form to start appointing committees before the Senate actually voted on opening day. The primary power of the Senate president pro tem is the appointment of committees and their chairmen. The Senate majority leader controls the flow of busi-

ness. It is today that the Legislature starts working its way up toward high gear. The one exception is the House Appropriations and Finance Committee, which got the bill financing the session under way immediately. People don’t get paid until that bill has made its way through the House and Senate and is signed by the governor. Only once in my 50 years of experience up here has a governor ever vetoed the “Feed Bill.” Gov. Toney Anaya was the culprit. Lawmakers retaliated by threatening to evict him from his Capitol offices.

mittee began hearings on the General Appropriations Act last Thursday. Over the next month or more, the committee will bring every department and state agency, including the governor’s office, to defend their budget requests. In her opening remarks to lawmakers and assembled guests, Gov. Martinez stressed the need to attract private businesses in order to decrease our dependence on federal government money. A word of caution however, we can’t take our eye off our federal installations. The Energy Department and the Base Realignment and Consolidation folks are looking everywhere for cuts. The last time this happened, New Mexicans organized a powerful group to advocate New Mexico’s case. We’ll need the same sort of effort again. We don’t want to end up with another situation like the spaceport, in which a failure to promote ourselves for a period causes decision makers to forget

about our state’s resources. One of the first topics to get attention this year is the package of constitutional amendments approved by voters at last November’s general election. The amendments require educational qualifications for the five members of the state Public Regulation Commission and transfer some of the PRC’s duties to other agencies. The bills were prepared with the assistance of Think New Mexico, a Santa Fe-based think tank which led the effort to get the constitutional amendments drafted and passed. Introducing the legislation will be House Speaker Ken Martinez and House Republican leader, Tom Taylor. The procession of New Mexico’s five members of Congress to visit the Capitol and to speak to a joint session of the Legislature began last week with Rep. Steve Pearce from the 2nd Congressional District.

Missing for the first time in 30 years will be recently retired Sen. Jeff Bingaman. Bingaman’s name has been mentioned as a successor to Ken Salazar, the retiring secretary of the Interior Department. Salazar, who is going back to his Colorado ranch, is a former U.S. senator from Colorado. Secretaries of the Interior usually are from the West since that is where all the federal land is. Also on the agenda for both the New Mexico Legislature and Congress are numerous gun control proposals, none of which are likely to pass because of the power of the gun makers and sellers. They have been making a fortune and become too powerful to touch. The National Rifle Association is credited with the power but it is the manufacturers and dealers who provide the big bucks for political contributions.

Imagining immigration reform

Most of the nation’s many parts — voters, the Supreme Court, lawmakers and the president — all have agreed in one way or another about the value that immigrants bring to the nation. What they haven’t agreed on is reforming the nation’s immigration laws. But they’re getting closer. The sticking point is the thorny problem of what to do about the 11 million or more undocumented immigrants estimated to be living in the United States. There are also concerns about the nation’s borders and how to secure them. Before the November election, the subject was off the table. Republican opposition to reform was just too strong. But that has changed since Latino voters sent a huge message to the Republicans that they were tired of the party’s anti-immigration stance and then proceeded to give President Barack Obama 71 percent of their vote. The growing power of the Hispanic vote has given the GOP cause to seek a more practical approach to immigration reform. Republican Party leaders, such as newly elected Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a tea party favorite, see the writing on the wall. And it isn’t in English. “If Republicans do not do better in the Hispanic community, in a few short years, Republicans will no longer be the majority party in our state,” Cruz told Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker magazine. As Cruz noted, the implications of that shift would reach far beyond Texas. “In not too many years, Texas could switch from being all Republican to all Democrat. If that happens, no Republican will ever again win the White House,” he said. The data support that contention. With New York (which has 29 electoral college votes) and California (with 55 votes) solidly in the Democratic column for the future, the GOP absolutely must have Texas’ 38 electoral votes to reach the 270 necessary to elect a president. Along with Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio, RFla., is looking for a way to bring sense to immigration reform without distressing many in his party. And Latino leaders in the public sector have warned both parties that they are watching them. Clarissa Martinez de Castro, the director of immigration policy at the National Council of La Raza, said recently that “Republicans must demonstrate a reasoned approach to start to rebuild their relationship with Latino voters (and) Democrats must demonstrate they can deliver on a promise.” Obama and Senate Democrats are expected to propose a comprehensive plan for overhauling the system that will include a path to citizenship for most of the undocumented immigrants in the country. The plan would not wipe the slate clean. It includes financial penalties — such as fines and the payment of back taxes — as well as other steps to obtain legal status. Rubio came out with a reform plan of his own last week. Acknowledging that the “immigration issue is a gateway issue for Hispanics,” Rubio said his proposal is a “comprehensive package of bills” to address the problems. The activity surrounding immigration also involves a bipartisan group of senators, including Dick Durbin, D-lll. and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who are writing a bill they hope to introduce in March. When Obama signed the pro-family, projobs executive order in June that incorporated parts of Durbin’s DREAM Act (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), some of the president’s critics claimed it was a politically motivated move. If so, it worked. Now that some Republican politicians have seen the reality of what their opposition meant for their political futures, they are no longer moaning about the president’s action. The combination of political practicality, moral responsibility and reality in the shape of 11 million people, has given momentum to making immigration reform a reality. It’s time to treat immigrant families with the respect and dignity they deserve, to allow them to continue to strengthen our workplaces and economy and to help them provide better futures for their children. The truth is, they are here to stay. Guest Editorial The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

An effort to protect the most vulnerable At last week’s signing of “executive actions” designed to combat gun violence in America, President Obama, flanked by schoolchildren, said, “... when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable among us, we must act now.” There’s no doubt that children, especially schoolchildren, are vulnerable to all kinds of threats, but are they “the most vulnerable,” as the president claimed, or is there another category of human life that qualifies for that designation? Forty years after a Supreme Court majority opened the door to legalized abortion, the

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have skin tags under my armpits. Are they dangerous? How can I remove them? What can I do to keep them from coming back? DEAR READER: I’ve had many patients ask me the same question. They’ve just noticed this little ball of skin sticking out from someplace on their body, and of course they’re concerned it could be cancer. Fortunately, it’s not, and it never will be. Skin tags are common; about a quarter of all people develop them. Usually when you first notice a skin tag, it’s actually been there for some time, slowly growing.

Over time, it grows into a flesh-colored piece of skin that hangs from the surface of the skin on a thin piece of tissue called a stalk. It’s easy to move or wiggle a skin tag back and forth. Skin tags probably develop

No, it’s a separate life that is initially dependent on the woman for nourishment, but is independent of her in that it is a separate human being. Who will take care of the unwanted child if it is born? Meanwhile, adoptive parents wait desperately for a child to love.

Many people develop multiple skin tags, and a tendency to develop skin tags may run in families. They often develop after weight gain or pregnancy.

United Way benefits senior citizens, too OPINION II

Since the United Way fund raising drive is almost over, I want to make sure seniors know that this agency’s funding affects their interests in ways that often are not readily apparent. Here’s how United Way funding benefits seniors, contributions being tax deductible natch, so call them at 622-4150 or visit unitedwayccnm.org and drop a coin. For instance, many of my clients try their hand at raising grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and it’s just too much, and these children have a place to go when it becomes overwhelming at the Assurance Home, 1000 E. 18th. Drive by and you’ll see what a wonderful residential environment this is for at risk kids. For my senior clients, it can literally be a lifesaver because they are not physically or financially up to the task (they also need to recognize when it’s too much and draw some boundaries). Yeah, the shrinks call them boundaries, a line in the sand. Many seniors are members of Chaves County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), 625-0112.

babies. Once the value of life is diminished in the womb, it seems to be a short step to devaluing life at other stages; such as killing someone for their sneakers or gunning them down in the street for no reason. If one wishes to stretch the point even farther, add easy divorce, neglected children, out-of-wedlock babies (which is better than aborting them), spousal abuse, sex trafficking and pornography. All of these — and more — contribute to a cheapening of life and of what it means to be human. For many, pleasing self and not wishing to sacrifice for another were hallmarks of the tumultuous 1960s, which led to what’s often called the “me” decade of the 1980s. The growing secularization of America has also contributed mightily to the cheapening of human life. If there is no Creator, Who made us and endowed us with a right to live, and if we are mere evolutionary accidents without purpose, direction or destination, then we might as well eat, drink and be merry and abort at will.

way to prevent them. A skin tag is painless. However, it can become irritated if it is rubbed a lot or if it is twisted on its stalk. That irritation is probably the most common reason that people want them removed. Skin tags are permanent growths unless you have them taken off. Doctors usually remove skin tags with sharp scissors or a sharp blade. Less commonly, doctors remove them by freezing or burning them off at the stalk. Bleeding can be stopped with a chemical (aluminum chloride) or electric (cauterizing) treatment.

I have talked to many women over the last 30 years who’ve changed their minds about abortion and have given birth with no regrets, once they’ve seen their developing baby.

LOCAL

Local veterans’ urgent/emergency medical care non-existent

There is a crises situation in southeastern New Mexico which is growing worse with each passing day. There is no urgent care for veterans seeking medical treatment for conditions such as the flu, severe cuts or other severe trauma not considered lifethreatening (such as deep gashes requiring stitches, etc.), broken bones, psychotic episodes (related to but not limited to PTSD, etc.), as well as a significant number of other conditions not really lending themselves to a six-plus hour round trip to the Albuquerque VA Medical Center. In defense of the Artesia Community Based Outreach Center, the VA has not provided the essentials (defined program, personnel, equipment) needed for such a vital service. The only response the CBOC can give veterans in need of

urgent medical attention is to make an appointment for two weeks or a month from now, go to the local emergency room (but without guarantees or reasonable expectation of payment by the VA) or drive to Albuquerque. Emergencies are handled the same way, with the VA “rules” giving an “option” for receiving local ER care, but with veterans frequently having to pay for that care themselves. There seems to be a definite disconnect between the official, published eligibility for emergency care and veterans actually receiving that care. The official VA Guideline states: “ If you’re eligible for health care through the Department of Veterans Affairs, our goal is to provide you with the care you need in a VA facility. However, sometimes that isn’t possible ...

because you live too far from a VA facility, the specialist you need is not available at your VA, or it will take too long for you to be seen at a VA facility. In those cases, you may be referred to a community provider through the NonVA Care program.” Now, I see two reasons local veterans continue to be eligible for local emergency care: too long to be seen at the CBOC and “you live too far from the nearest VA facility.” By their own designation, the VA lists the Albuquerque VA Medical Center

as the nearest facility for approved emergency care. However, when the veteran or family member calls seeking emergency care approval, the response during the crises situation is “we can’t guarantee the VA will pay for your emergency care”. I’ve heard from many vets saying they have had to pay for emergency services and were afraid to “push the issue” for fear of retaliation from the Albuquerque VA. How is “the process” defined? Officially, “In the event of an emergency, you do not need authorization from a VA facility for treatment—simply proceed to the nearest emergency room to get the care you need. A medical emergency is generally defined as a condition of such a nature that a prudent layperson would reasonably expect a delay in seeking immediate

medical attention to be hazardous to life or health. Eligibility for VA payment of emergency care as well as deadlines for filing claims depend upon whether or not you have a service-connected condition. It’s important to contact the closest VA facility (note: again, Albuquerque VAMC) as soon as possible to find out more about VA payment of your emergency care.” More clarification: “What is Non-VA Care: Non-VA Care is medical care provided to eligible veterans outside of VA when VA facilities are not available. All VA medical centers can use this program when needed. The use of the Non-VA Care program is governed by federal laws containing eligibility criteria and other policies specifying when and why it can be used. A pre-authoriza-

Pet of the week

tion for treatment in the community is required for Non-VA Care (unless the medical event is an emergency). Emergency events may be reimbursed on behalf of the Veteran in certain cases. See the Emergency Non-VA Care brochure for information.” An abundant, excessive, totally blatant use of the words “may be” and “certain cases” is undeniable. I have reported and will continue to report on the increasing numbers of veterans having catastrophic problems in getting local urgent/emergency medical care “down here.” To attempt to quantify these problems, I’ve set-up an email address for you to send me your encounters (confidentially). Please send your “story” to me at rdrvetadvo@gmail.com. Remember, “united we stand!” God bless.

Paul’s Veterinary Supply is 'More than just vet supplies'

Roswell Daily Record

Paul’s Veterinary Supply is one of the largest independent animal health distributors in the United States. Paul’s motto is “More than just vet supplies”, a fact which is apparent when you walk through the front door. Located at 2005 S.E. Main Street, Paul’s Veterinary Supply is locally owned and operated by Paul Bierwirth and his wife, Susan. Paul is assisted by his sister Belinda Bierwirth, his son Nelson and Adrian Ruiz. Paul's carries a large selection of tack and veterinary supplies. Whether you need a rope, gloves or fly and moth control, they have it all. Paul’s philosophy is to buy in volume and to sell in volume, with low margins, so their pricing is competitive with mail order catalogs, much lower than retail. Paul says, "We have bell boots, saddle pads, bits, ropes, tack, etc., that we test ourselves. The quality must satisfy us before we sell it to you!" Paul's has over 1,000 ropes in stock every day from Classic®, Rattler and Fast Back. Plus, there are orthopedic pads, vitamin supplements and hoof moisturizers. For your cattle they have fly tags, blackleg vaccine, insecticides and there is even Martin's Super Flea & Tick Killer for your cats and dogs at Paul's Vet Supply. Paul's stocks vaccines, antibiotics, insecticides, wormers and etc., for cattle and horses, plus items for your pets. Plus they have a complete line of branding supplies.

Biden meets with Democrats, stoking 2016 chatter

Vice President Joe Biden waves to the crowd as he walks down Pennsylvania Avenue en route to the White House, Monday.

ing the groundwork to carry the torch from President Barack Obama. It comes after Biden played a prominent role in brokering a compromise on the fiscal cliff standoff with Congress and his work developing gun violence legislation following December’s deadly school shooting in Connecticut.

The next presidential campaign is a long way off

and the Democratic primary chase will be dotted with plenty of “ifs,” most notably whether outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton decides to seek the nomination. Clinton, the former New York senator and first lady, remains the heavy favorite among party activists but several notable Democrats, including Biden, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, are said to be keeping their options open in case Clinton decides not to run again.

As vice president, Biden can stay in the spotlight and is no stranger to the demands of a presidential campaign after failed bids in 1988 and 2008. The former Delaware senator has racked up a long list of domestic and foreign policy achievements even as his occasional of f-script moments have become fodder for Republicans. “There’s a whole lot of reasons why I wouldn’t run,” said Biden, who will be nearly 74 on Election

Day in 2016, in an interview with CNN on Monday. “I don’t have to make that decision for awhile. In the meantime, there’s one thing I know I have to do, no matter what I do. I have to help this president move this country to the next stage.” Yet with his high-profile perch, Biden is doing nothing to tamp down the speculation. Biden’s private swearingin ceremony on Sunday was attended by recentlyelected New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan, someone who would be a potent ally in the state’s first-inthe-nation primary. Attendees at a Sunday afternoon reception at the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory said they noticed a lot of party activists from early voting states like New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina. During the weekend, Biden attended a ball at the Kennedy Center celebrating the party’s Latino voters, who turned into a powerful voting bloc in November’s

election. Biden called the Latino community “a decisive factor” in the election. “This is your moment,” Biden said. “America owes you.” Some party stalwarts said it was noteworthy that Biden asked Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina justice, to administer the oath of office. Biden also attended a ball honoring environmentalists, sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation and other environmental groups, where he said the Obama administration was committed to confronting climate change. “I don’t intend to let these four years go by without getting a hell of a lot done,” on the environment, Biden said. On Inauguration Day, Biden and his wife, Jill, walked part of the parade route, waving to the cheering crowds in a made-for-

TV moment. At one point, the vice president even jogged across Pennsylvania Avenue to shake hands with “Today” show weatherman Al Roker.

On Tuesday afternoon, Biden met with members of the Democratic National Committee at a private reception after a DNC meeting, where delegates unanimously re-elected Florida Rep. Debbie Wasser man Schultz to another term as chairman. A frequently played campaign theme song, REO Speedwagon’s “Roll with the Changes,” could be heard from outside the room and attendees said Biden thanked them for their work during the campaign and of fered an upbeat assessment of the second term.

Authorities: Fight led to Texas college shooting HOUSTON (AP) — A fight between two people erupted in gunfire Tuesday at a Houston-area community college, catching a maintenance man in the crossfire and leaving students and others cowering in classrooms. No one was killed, but the volley of gunshots heard just before 1 p.m. sparked fear of another campus massacre less than a month after 26 people were killed at elementary school in Newtown, Conn. The shooting happened outside between an academic building and the where Luis library Resendiz, 22, was studying on the second floor. An employee called police and then herded the 30 to 40 people in the library into a small room and told them to crouch down, he said. Keisha Cohn, 27, was in a building about 50 feet

away and began running as soon as she heard the shots. “To stay where I was wasn’t an option,” said Cohn, who fled to a building that houses computers and study areas. All the students were eventually evacuated, running out of buildings as police officers led them to safety. Authorities offered no details on what led to the fight. One of the people involved had a student ID, and both people were wounded and hospitalized, Harris County Sherif f’s Maj. Armando Tello said. A fourth person also was taken to a hospital for a medical condition, he said. Mark Zaragosa said he had just come out of an EMT class when he saw two people who were injured and stopped to help them. “The two people that I took care of had just

minor injuries,” he told KHOU-TV. “One gentleman had a gunshot to the knee and the (other) actually had an entry wound to the lower buttocks area.” The shooting last month at Sandy Hook Elementary School heightened security concer ns at campuses across the country. Resendiz said the Connecticut shooting was the first thing he thought of when he heard gunfire and he wondered if a similar situation was happening on his campus. “I didn’t think something like this could happen. You don’t think about it happening to you,” he said. Several school districts in Texas have either implemented or are considering a plan to allow faculty to carry guns on campus. While guns are not allowed on college campuses, the Texas Legislature this year

may debate a bill that would allow them. Richard Carpenter, chancellor of the Lone Star College System, said the campus is a gun-free zone that “has been safe for 40 years.” “We think it’s still safe,” he added. He described the maintenance man, who was said to be in his 50s and listed in stable condition, as “in good shape.” Daniel Flores, 19, was in a second-floor tutoring lab with about 60 people when he heard a noise that sounded “like someone was kicking a door.” Once he and others realized the sound was gunfire, they fled to the nearby student services center, where authorities kept them for about 30 minutes before letting them go. Cody Harris, 20, said he was in a classroom with about six or seven other

Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., a committee member who has said she was perplexed by the nomination. Another panel member, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, RGa., said Tuesday, “I look forward to visiting with him and hearing his testimony and we’ll see where it goes.” Concer ns about Hagel replacing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta have centered on whether he is sufficiently pro-Israel, his descrip-

tion of pro-Israel groups as a “Jewish lobby,” and his stand on gay rights. Some GOP lawmakers also are concerned about potential cuts to defense spending and Hagel’s past support for reductions in nuclear weapons. “That’s of great importance to me,” said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Corker’s state is home to the Y-12 nuclear facility and significant cuts in the nuclear arsenal would affect his state. “I want to delve beyond the one-liners and sentences that have been

“I was just worried about getting out,” Harris said. “I called my grandmother and asked her to pick me up.” Classes are expected to resume today.

Senate committee chairman: Count up Hagel vote after hearing

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., right, and Secretary of Defense-nominee and former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., left, listen to reporters’ questions following their meeting on Capitol Hill, Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Senate Republicans said Tuesday they would reserve judgment on Chuck Hagel’s nomination until after his confirmation hearing next week, a positive sign for President Barack Obama’s choice to head the Defense Department. Hagel, who already has drawn strong opposition from six Senate Republicans, continued his outreach to lawmakers on Tuesday, meeting with Sen. John McCain, whose support for the nomination could smooth the way for the for mer GOP senator and provide political cover for other Republicans to back the nominee. “Senator Hagel and I are old friends and we had a very frank and candid conversation, and I’ll be looking forward to the hearing and asking him questions,” the Arizona Republican told reporters at a news conference on his recent overseas trip. “He should be given the opportunity of a hearing before any of us make a judgment.” Hagel, during a brief conversation with reporters in the Capitol, declined to answer specific questions, simply saying, “we have a hearing next week and I look forward to answering questions.” Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said earlier in the day that it was too soon to count the votes and he would have a better assessment of the support for Hagel after his confirmation hearing on Jan. 31. Asked if there were any Republican votes for Hagel, Levin said, “I haven’t seen any, but there may be that I haven’t seen. That doesn’t mean that there won’t be.” The Hagel nomination gained momentum last week as Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., two of the strongest pro-Israel Democrats in the Senate, said the former Nebraska senator had addressed their concerns about his stand on Iran sanctions and support for Israel. But Hagel still faces ambivalence among Republicans, if not outright opposition, and could emerge

from the Senate committee vote with only party-line support. Sen. Jim Inhofe of

brought forth by groups. It’ll be a very earnest conversation. I always start with an open mind. But I do have concer ns,” said Corker, who is scheduled to meet with Hagel on Friday. Democrats hold a 55-45 advantage in the Senate and would have the votes to confirm Hagel on a simple majority, but they would need five Republican votes for the 60-vote threshold to break a GOP filibuster. A Republican ef fort to block Obama’s choice of a former Republican senator would set off a firestorm as Senate leaders try to negotiate new rules on filibusters.

Hagel has reached out to all 100 senators.

Separately, a GOP-leaning group launched an anti-Hagel ad campaign in the home states of five Senate Democrats up for reelection next year.

“Say no to Chuck Hagel before it’s too late,” said the commercials from Americans for a Stronger Defense. The spots target Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Udall of Colorado, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Kay Hagan of North Carolina.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Romanian authorities have arrested three suspects in last year’s multimillion-dollar art heist from a Netherlands art gallery, Dutch police said Tuesday. But the paintings, by artists including Picasso, Matisse and Monet, have not been recovered. The announcement marked the first breakthrough for police since thieves broke open an emergency exit and swiped the seven pieces on Oct. 16 in a late night raid at the Kunsthal gallery in Rotterdam. It was the biggest art theft in more than a decade in the Netherlands. The stolen works have an estimated value of tens of millions of dollars if they were sold at auction, but art experts said that would be impossible following the theft. “Three people have been arrested, but unfortunately we have not got back the paintings,” Rotterdam Police spokeswoman Yvette van den Heerik told The Associated Press. Police later said in a statement that the suspects were arrested as part of an ongoing Romanian investigation and not at the request of Dutch authorities. Kunsthal spokeswoman Mariette Maaskant said gallery staff members are not yet breathing a sigh of relief. “There is no painting found yet,” she said. “For us, that is the most impor-

tant thing.” Romanian police spokeswoman Raluca Seucan declined to provide details of the case to the AP. Romanian news agency Mediafax reported that three Romanian suspects had been arrested Monday evening following a ruling from a Bucharest court. It gave no further details. The heist at one of Rotterdam’s landmark buildings, designed by local architect Rem Koolhaas, was low-tech but effective. Two thieves forced their way into the gallery through a rear emergency door and snatched the paintings. Security cameras showed the thieves breaking in and fleeing within two minutes. They were gone by the time police, alerted by an alarm, arrived less than five minutes after the break-in. The following morning, only white spaces on the wall and broken hanging wires were left. The stolen paintings came from the private T riton Foundation, a collection of avant-garde art put together by multimillionaire Willem Cordia, an investor and businessman, and his wife, Marijke Cordia-Van der Laan. Willem Cordia died in 2011.

ter that is hush-hush. By late afternoon, you might not even care, as you toss yourself into a project or hobby. News from a distance puts a smile on your face. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Even if a partner is pushing you hard, you seem to be able to handle the pressure. In fact, you use it to energize. You might wonder when enough is enough. Postpone a discussion until later. A loved one might share an intuitive hunch. Tonight: Vanish while you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Accepting responsibility is fine, but adding to a personal problem because you don’t want to say no is a separate issue. You have too much energy for your own good. Rather than snap at someone, move through your feelings and deal with your stress. Tonight: Dance stress away. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You’ll want to resolve a problem, which means finding the other person involved. A loved one could be unusually aggressive. Pull back, and let this person have some space. Tonight: Probably a very late night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can’t seem to help yourself when dealing with a partner. This person has been unusually lucky with funds lately. Later on, make calls to someone at a distance whom you care about. Follow your psychic inclination. Tonight: Break past any selfimposed barriers.

NATIONAL BRIEFS JONES: GARRETT MAY GIVE UP DUTIES AS ’BOYS PLAY CALLER

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that coach Jason Garrett may give up play-calling duties on offense. Speaking to reporters at Senior Bowl practices, Jones said offensive line coach Bill Callahan could inherit play-calling duties, but stopped short of saying a decision had been made. Garrett kept calling plays after he was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach when Wade Phillips was fired during the 2010 season. Garrett told The Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram he would welcome a switch and would be comfortable with Callahan in that role. The Cowboys have shuffled the coaching staff after consecutive 8-8 seasons. New defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin replaced Rob Ryan, who was fired. Five other coaches have left the staff, including Garrett’s brother, tight ends coach John Garrett. Jason Garrett has been criticized for poor decisions with game and clock management, sparking debate over whether he should give up calling plays to focus more on other issues within a game. He also was praised for his leadership after practice squad linebacker Jerry Brown died in a car wreck that led to intoxication manslaughter charges against defensive tackle Josh Brent this season. “I’ve never been a guy where it’s been hell or high water that I’m going to call the plays,” Garrett said. “It gives you the opportunity to step back a little bit and engage in the other two aspects. Obviously, my role as the head coach, if I’m not the play-caller, will be significant.” Callahan was offensive coordinator for Oakland from 1998 to 2001, and the Raiders went to the Super Bowl after he was promoted to head coach in 2002. They lost to Tampa Bay. The former Nebraska coach just finished his first season with Dallas after four years as offensive line coach for the New York Jets. Jones said he wanted Garrett to keep calling plays when Phillips was replaced, and the owner said the switch wouldn’t be considered if Garrett “was not absolutely all in.” “It’s not a step back for Jason. It’s actually a step forward for Jason in my mind,” Jones said. “Make no mistake about it, when I hired Jason to come into the organization as a coach he was hired specifically for his skills for his abilities to call the plays. When he became the head coach, it was at my insistence that he continue to call the plays. It was not at Jason’s insistence.”

Hobbs snaps Roswell’s win streak Section

Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

The Roswell girls basketball team entered Tuesday’s showdown with Hobbs at the Coyote Den riding an 11-game win streak. The Coyotes were on a roll. Hobbs provided a bump in that roll that the Coyotes simply couldn’t smoothly gloss over. The third-ranked Eagles didn’t look like world-beaters by any means, but they did enough in a 34-28 win over Roswell. “It was a frustrating night,” Roswell coach Joe Carpenter said after the game. “It was a combination of, I think, fatigue, we were just a little off and I think Hobbs’ defense is pretty dang good.” Frustrating is the perfect choice of words.

Roswell (12-5) fell behind 10-0 over the first five minutes, but slowly got back into it. By the midway point of the second quarter, Roswell was within two, 15-13, and appeared to have the momentum. But, over their final seven possessions of the first half, the Coyotes turned it over three times and were just 1 of 4 from the field. Hobbs used Roswell’s futility to stretch its lead to 24-16 by the break. “We were down eight at the half and I thought we should have been up two or four,” Carpenter said. “We missed at least four or five bunnies there. It was frustrating.” Roswell cracked the frustration in the third, conSee SNAPS, Page B2

LAKE ARTHUR — Among many things that coaches tell their players is the saying, “Don’t beat yourselves.” In basketball, beating yourself would, among other things, include taking care of the ball. Unfortunately for the Lake Arthur Lady Panthers, they struggled with maintaining possession all night in their game against Jal on Tuesday. Lake Arthur had 44 turnovers and an 11-minute, 28-second second-half scoring drought that allowed Jal to come away with a 46-25 win. Lake Arthur’s Lilly McNeil opened the scoring with a jumper, but, by the end of the quarter, Jal held an 8-6 lead, which, for the Panthers, was a victory in itself. In the first eight minutes, Lake Arthur committed 12 turnovers. The Lake Arthur defense kept it in the game, however, forcing six turnovers of its own and contesting every Jal shot. Lake Arthur’s turnover problems continued into the second quarter as Jal forced four turnovers and scored the first four points of the quarter to take a 12-6 lead. The home team wouldn’t go away, however, going on its best offensive spurt of the game.

Ed Reed returns a fumble during a game against the Steelers on Nov. 18. Reed will play in his first Super Bowl when the Ravens meet the 49ers on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.

Finally for Reed, Birk

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The only reason why Matt Birk brought his aching knees and battered body to training camp for a 15th NFL season was to get to the Super Bowl. The 36-year-old Birk was bothered by neck, elbow and knee injuries during his previous three years with the Baltimore Ravens, yet he never missed a start. During the offseason, the six-time Pro Bowl center underwent surgery to repair varicose veins in his legs. Still, Birk knew the Ravens had a shot at a championship, and he wanted to be a part of it. “At this stage in my career, losing takes a lot out of you,” Birk said. “I wouldn’t have come back if I didn’t think there was a legitimate chance that I could help the team.”

Birk, safety Ed Reed and guard Bobbie Williams head a list of longtime veterans who will be making their first Super Bowl appearance when the Ravens face the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 3. “It means a lot for all the guys to have an opportunity to be a part of that,” coach John Harbaugh said. “To be able to be involved with that as a leader is a huge thing. It makes you feel really good, and now you try to make the most of it.” Birk endured 11 fruitless years in Minnesota, reaching the playoffs five times without a conference title. Then, after joining the Ravens as a free agent in 2009, he was part of three more playof f runs that ended short of the Super See FINALLY, Page B2

HOBBS — Playing without Cesar Nava, Roswell gave Hobbs all it could handle, but came up short in an 89-83 loss to the Eagles on Tuesday night. The Coyotes (14-2) trailed 51-39 at the half, but won the third quarter 24-20 and the fourth 20-18 to make things interesting down the stretch. Alex Olesinski led the Coyotes with 21 points, while Stephen Lucero and Anthony Olguin each added 17 points for Roswell. The loss was the second in three games for the Coyotes after starting the season 13-0. Hagerman 70, Tatum 39 HAGERMAN — Hagerman improved to 11-5 with a win over Tatum on Tuesday. The Bobcats took control early, winning the first quarter 23-7 and, by the half, the Bobcat lead had grown to 35-12. Bryan Barela and Alejandro Ramos led the Bobcats with 12 points each, while Jessie Rodriguez finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for Hagerman.

Dexter 64, Ruidoso 62, OT RUIDOSO — Dexter didn’t play its best game, according to coach James Voight, but hung on for an overtime victory over Ruidoso on the road, Tuesday. Ruidoso led by four going to the fourth, but the Demons won the quarter

free on bond after his arrest Tuesday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The 31-year-old nose tackle was arrested shortly after midnight after his pickup truck sideswiped a semitrailer truck on Texas 114 in eastern Grapevine, 20 miles northwest of Dallas. No one was injured, but Ratliff failed a field sobriety test and was taken to city jail, said Grapevine police Officer Sam Shemwell. Ratliff declined a breath test, but police obtained a blood sample for testing, Shemwell said. Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple declined comment. The case will go to the Tarrant County district attorney’s office in Fort Worth, Shemwell said. If convicted, Ratliff could get up to six months in jail. Ratliff was limited to six games this season with ankle and groin injuries.

Williams loses in quarters, Azarenka into semis

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Serena Williams’ dominating run at the majors is over. American teenager Sloane Stephens is headed to the semifinals of the Australian Open. Williams injured her back in the second set, hampering her serve, and the 19-year-old Stephens kept her composure in a 3-6, 7-5, 64 victory on Wednesday. It was the first loss since Aug. 17 for the 15-time Grand Slam winner, ending a run of 20 consecutive wins. She hadn’t lost a match at a Grand Slam tournament since the French Open, where the first-round exit sparked a resurgence in the second half of 2012 that included titles at Wimbledon, the London Olympics, the U.S. Open and the WTA Championship. After winning her first Grand Slam quarterfinal, Stephens next plays defending champion Victoria Azarenka. With her most famous fan sitting in the crowd wearing a shirt reminding her to keep calm, top-ranked Azarenka overcame some early jitters to beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-5, 6-1 in the earlier quarterfinal match on Rod Laver Arena. In the men’s quarterfinals, 17-time major

We didn’t try to get the ball inside. We were expecting things to happen, but we weren’t ready to work for it. If you aren’t ready to work for anything, turnovers are going to happen.” Turnovers did happen for Lake Arthur in the second half, as did a scoring drought. Mayra Davila’s bucket at the 5:53 mark of the third quarter cut the Jal lead to 26-22, but it would be the last Lake Arthur point scored for 11:28. During the Lake Arthur drought, Jal forced 16 turnovers and took control of the game with an 18-0 run that put the game out of reach. Caro, Davila and Barrera led Lake Arthur with six points each. l.foster@rdrnews.com

Super Bowl in his 13th NFL season. Linebacker Terrell Suggs (10th season) and former Houston Texans stars Vonta Leach (ninth) and Bernard Pollard (seventh) signed as free agents with Baltimore for the chance to perfor m on the sport’s grandest stage. Quarterback Joe Flacco, who needed only five years to get it done, takes delight in seeing some of his older teammates finally heading to the Super Bowl. “No doubt about it, I am excited for everybody that has been in the league as long as those guys have been,” he said. “To have this opportunity is pretty cool.”

Novak Djokovic is already through to the semifinals after his 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych on Tuesday night. Djokovic will meet No. 4-seeded David Ferrer in the semifinals. Ferrer survived a quarterfinal battle with fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro. Almagro had three chances to serve for the match, but Ferrer broke back each time and went on to win 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4), 6-2. Maria Sharapova had a 6-2, 6-2 quarterfinal win over Ekatrina Makarova on Tuesday, and has conceded only nine games in five matches — a record in Australia.

Meet Our Justices The U.S. Constitution allows justices of the Supreme Court to serve until their death. They can also resign, retire or be impeached, or removed from office. When a seat on the court opens, the president nominates someone to be a new justice. The U.S. Senate must confirm, or approve, the new justice. Our current justices are listed in the order of how long theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve served (with the exception of Chief Justice Roberts). s Chief Justice John Roberts, 57, was born in Buffalo, N.Y.

When President Barack Obama is inaugurated on Jan. 21, the person who will be giving the oath, or promise, is the chief justice (or judge in charge) of the United States. This year, Chief Justice as at President John Roberts Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first inauguration, that will be Chief Justice John Roberts. This week, The Mini Page learns more about the Supreme Court and what a justice does.

Chief Justice John Roberts (on the far right) swears in President Barack Obama at his first inauguration on Jan. 20, 2009.

The Supreme Court is the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; highest court. The justices must decide how laws are followed and whether our laws agree with the U.S. Constitution. This is called judicial (joo-DISH-uhl) review. In the United States, the Supreme Court is an appellate court. This means that the court decides cases that are being appealed after making their way through the lower courts. For example, in the mid-1960s, two high school students in Des Moines, Iowa, wore black armbands to school to protest against the Vietnam War. School officials suspended them. The students and their families sued, or took legal action against the school district. They believed the First Amendment, which promises the right to free speech, protected their protest. The case was presented in the U.S. District Court, where the verdict, or decision, agreed with the school. The case eventually went to the Supreme Court, which overturned, or changed, the verdict.

A Powerful Force Deciding a case

The U.S. Constitution promises that a person accused of a crime will receive a fair trial. There are two types of cases: s criminal, in which someone has committed a crime. s civil, or cases in which people or organizations are arguing about something. A trial verdict may be appealed to a state or federal appeals court. Someone who loses at this level may ask the Supreme Court to review the lower courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. The Supreme Court usually hears cases that will decide important legal principles. Out of thousands of REQUESTS RECEIVED EACH YEAR THE COURT may choose about 150 of them.

On the first Monday in October of each year, the Supreme Court begins its new term. Once the Supreme Court has accepted a case for review, the two sides present their arguments to THE JUSTICES %ACH JUSTICE WORKS WITH young law school graduates who study cases and discuss them with the justice. They may also examine all the records from the case and ask QUESTIONS OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED The justices meet with each other to talk about the case. Sometimes this takes months. Then they offer their opinion. At least five votes are needed to make a decision. One of the justices writes a summary of the opinion. A justice who dissented, or disagreed, may write an opposing argument.

The first woman justice Sandra Day Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan. She was the first woman to serve on the court. Justice Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona. She went to Stanford University and received a law degree, but many law firms did not hire women lawyers in 1952, when she graduated. Finally, in 1965, she was hired as assistant attorney general for the state of Arizona.

Sandra Day Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor was the first woman associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. She retired in 2006.

Later, Justice Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor served as a state senator in Arizona and as a trial judge.

Judicial process

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?

After the 1954 Supreme Court decision, black and white children were allowed to attend the same schools, such as this one in Washington, D.C.

How do they decide? The decisions of the Supreme Court can have important impacts on Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daily lives. Supreme Court justices use the Constitution and previous court decisions to help them make judgments about current cases. In fact, they may disagree about the outcome of an earlier case and write a decision that goes against one from years before. For example, some of the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early decisions supported the IDEA OF hSEPARATE BUT EQUALv FACILITIES for blacks and whites. (We call this segregation.) But in 1954, in the CASE OF "ROWN V "OARD OF %DUCATION of Topeka, the court ruled that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the doctrine (or belief) of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;separate but EQUAL HAS NO PLACE v 4HIS WAS THE ruling that declared that public schools must be desegregated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a decision that affected almost every family in the United States. Next week, The Mini Page explores science with an issue about matter.

can I control my anger better? Taking a deep breath and counting to 10 just makes me feel angrier. I’d feel better if I punched the wall, but the last time I did that I bruised my fist. Do you have any guidelines? CONSUMED BY ANGER IN HERNDON, VA.

DEAR ABBY

DEAR CONSUMED BY ANGER: Anger is a normal emotion. Everybody has experienced it at one time or another. Most people have been trained to suppress anger from early childhood. But it’s even more important to learn to express anger in ways that are constructive rather than destructive. Punching a wall falls into the latter category and can result in injury to you and possibly the wall, as you found out. If it is channeled in the right direction, anger can be a positive emotion. Uncontrolled, or suppressed, it can be extremely harmful and even a killer. The challenge that everyone faces is how not to deny the feeling but to express the anger — or diffuse it — in ways that are productive.

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I am 21 and I have an anger problem. Sometimes when my friends, roommates or my boyfriend do something that annoys me, I feel so mad that I can’t concentrate on anything I have to get done. I’m having that problem right now because one of my roommates was mean to me tonight. I think I’m owed an apology, but I know I won’t be getting one. I can’t talk to her. I know if I do I’ll just feel worse and we won’t get anywhere. I can’t even concentrate on writing my paper because I’m so ticked off! Is it normal to get this mad? How

COMICS

In a situation like yours, saying out loud in a controlled manner that something has made you angry can be like releasing steam from a pressure cooker. It’s certainly more productive than making a bullying gesture; hitting a wall with your fist implies that the next punch might land on the person who pushed your buttons. In my booklet “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It,” I offer many suggestions that can help you manage your emotions in a more constructive way. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby — Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Please understand how important it is that you learn to manage and channel your emotions more constructively than you currently do. Step one in managing your anger is to recognize that the emotion is building before you lose control or become so angry that you can’t

concentrate on what is most important right now — and that is your academic studies. I know that if you learn to manage and control your anger, you will benefit greatly as you move forward in life. I have faith in you!

DEAR ABBY: If a couple has been dating for a long time and are sexually active, do you think he has a right to have sex with her while she’s sleeping? My sister and I disagree about this. I feel it’s abuse. My sister isn’t quite sure what to think. CATHY IN KINGSTON, N.Y. DEAR CATHY: If someone has sex with you without your consent, it isn’t abuse. It is rape.

P.S. If the boyfriend in question is so inept at lovemaking that his partner snores right through it, then it seems to me that only the boyfriend is sexually “active.”

In Texas, peanut is the oil of choice for frying turkeys. The United States Department of Agriculture actually recommends peanut oil for deep frying because of the high “smoke point” (how high a temperature the oil can be heated to before it breaks down). You can safely reuse peanut oil three to four times, if it is free of spices and seasonings. Let the oil cool down, then strain it through cheesecloth. I tested this using a paper coffee filter with vegetable oil, and it worked just fine. Place the oil in an airtight, sealed container, and store it in a cool, dark place for up to six months. Make sure to heat the oil to above 350 degrees Fahrenheit before putting food in it. Heloise ##### SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Dear Heloise: To keep the tray in the toaster oven clean and looking good, I use aluminum foil. However, I came across some old foil that I had used for doing highlights in my hair. These are precut, pop out, and they fit the toaster-oven tray perfectly. No more guessing the size to be used. It saves time and is inexpensive. Brenda E., via email Brenda, most people do the same with aluminum foil. However, manufacturers say NO to doing this because of the possibility of overheating. Heloise #####

Dear Heloise: I’ve used tortillas in place of dumplings for several years. One day, as I reached for a knife, I noticed my pizza cutter and tried it. Much to my surprise, it did a better job and was much easier. If it begins to get dough on it, I just wipe a tiny bit of cooking oil on the blade and continue cutting. Jim D. in Arkansas Dear Heloise: Here is my hint for keeping cilantro fresh (parsley and mint, too) for up to two weeks. Bundle the stems together with a rubber band and stand the bunch upright in a small, heavy container filled with water. Loosely cover the rest with plastic wrap or a plastic bag. Stand the container in the fridge, and you can use the herbs for much longer than the usual three to four days. Betsy W., Spokane, Wash.

This is a tried-and-true hint. You also can snip off 1/2 inch or so of the stem every few days, and you need only about 1-2 inches of water in the container.

Rival Conn. casino tribes forge alliance US stocks edge up

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — At sunrise one day last spring, the leaders of the Connecticut tribes that own two of the world’s largest casinos stood together at the site of a 1637 massacre, commemorating the Pequot War attack in which one of their tribes took part in nearly wiping out the other. The Mashantucket Pequots, who own the Foxwoods Resort Casino, hold the event annually to celebrate survival from the slaughter of so many of their forebears. Last year was the first time they invited a member of the Mohegan T ribe, which owns the Mohegan Sun casino, to participate in the fireside ceremony in Mystic, Conn. “That was pretty big,” Mohegan Chairman Bruce “Two Dogs” Bozsum said in an interview last month with The Associated Press. The commemoration was a symbolic moment in the close relationship between the two chairmen. With their rival casinos each struggling through slumps, the men see each other not only as friends, but also as allies in a relationship that may be a key to their tribes’ future prosperity. Although the tribes once kept their external affairs entirely separate, Bozsum and the Pequots’ chairman, Rodney Butler, have sought to speak in a single voice on issues of mutual interest. In joint talks with Connecticut’s governor, they have won concessions including a reduction in the presence of state police at the casinos to lower the amount they have to

reimburse the state. They are also exploring the possibility of buying goods and services together to reduce costs for their massive casinos, which are only seven miles apart in rural southeastern Connecticut. “It was only good fortune, or good misfortune, that both of us were going through the same economic challenges at the same time,” Butler said in a separate interview this month. “How much more successful can we be simply working together?” Bozsum, 52, first met Butler years ago when he would play golf with Butler’s father, but they became close in recent years after each was elected chairman. The friendship has influenced relationships between the tribes, which hold intertribal socials more than ever. Bozsum and Butler, 35, are golfing partners, their families have socialized together, and they speak frequently over the phone. When talk turns to business, they have plenty of shared challenges to discuss. Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun opened after the Pequots won federal recognition in 1983 and the Mohegans followed in 1994. After years of success, they have struggled with a steady decline in gambling revenue brought on by the economic downturn and new competition in neighboring states. The Mohegan T ribal Gaming Authority, which owns casinos in Uncasville and Wilkes-Barre, Pa., announced in March it had refi-

nanced debt of about $1 billion, and the Pequots said in October that creditors had signed on to its plan to restructure $2.2 billion in debt. Bozsum said the two men discuss industry trends and joke together about their marketing and other strategies, but they do not share proprietary information. “We do our own thing, but we watch each other. And we both probably adjust to what’s happening across the street,” Bozsum said. One area where they have not agreed is how to handle Internet gambling if it is legalized. While the Pequots have expressed interest in running online versions of casino games, Bozsum has argued that legalizing online games other than poker will hurt brick-and-mortar casinos. Bozsum said that he believes the matter should be handled through federal legislation, but that if it becomes a state issue, he and Butler would probably “lock wrists for a while until we figure it out.” The ceremony last spring marked the 375th anniversary of the massacre in which the Mohegans, in alliance with the English and the Narragansett tribe, killed 150 elderly men, women and children in a May 26, 1637, raid on a Pequot village. Mistrust stemming from that massacre had been the biggest impediment to better tribal relations until now, according to both chairmen, and some members in each tribe have expressed skepticism of the new relationship.

Trader John Panin, center, works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Thursday, Jan. 10.

U.S. stocks rose modestly Tuesday as big companies reported their fourth-quarter financial results. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 47 points to 13,697 as of 2:54 p.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose five to 1,490. The Nasdaq composite average gained three to 3,137. The indexes spent the morning edging between small gains and losses. Around noon, the Dow rose decisively and maintained its gain. Earnings so far have been strong enough to drive a five-day winning streak for the S&P 500. Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago, said traders have been encouraged by the number of companies beating analysts’ profit expectations. “Granted, we have diminished expectations, but companies are doing a decent job beating on the profit side,” he said. Ablin said the revenue side of the equation has been weaker, preventing a stronger updraft for stocks. Traders might gain confidence, he said, if companies reported stronger demand from emerging markets and Europe. Among the Dow components that reported early Tuesday, chemical and bioscience company DuPont reported a sharp drop in income on weakness in its electronics, communications and other businesses, but the results still beat analysts’ forecasts and DuPont’s stock rose 94 cents, or 2 percent, to $47.93. Johnson & Johnson said higher sales helped boost its profit from a year ago, when results were weighed down by a slew of one-time charges. However, the company’s 2013 profit forecast fell short of analysts’ estimates. J&J dropped 54 cents to $72.69. Verizon Communications Inc. rose modestly after the country’s biggest wireless carrier said it activated a record number of new devices on contract-based plans in the fourth quarter. Verizon’s net loss widened on restructuring and pension costs and expenses related to the cleanup from Superstorm Sandy. Its stock rose 13 cents to $42.67. A fourth member of the Dow 30, property and casualty insurer Travelers Cos., led the Dow higher after it said core income categories like investments and premiums written rose in the fourth quarter. Net income fell because of claims filed in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. The stock shot up $1.83, or 2.4 percent, to $78.14, after hitting an all-time closing high of $76.31 on Friday.

Verizon posts record loss due to pension funds

NEW YORK (AP) — Verizon strengthened its position as the top dog of the wireless industry in its latest quarter by raking in new subscribers and selling millions of iPhones, but also posted a record loss. The loss of $4.23 billion, or $1.48 per share, for the fourth quarter was mainly due to adjustments to the value of its pension funds and obligations, an annual routine for Verizon Communications Inc. But even excluding the pension effects, the New York-based phone company missed Wall Street’s earnings expectations when reporting Tuesday because of the cost of repairs after Superstorm Sandy and “aggressive” advertising and price cuts on smartphones.

compared with a loss of $2.02 billion or 71 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding the pension adjustments and various other charges, Verizon earned 38 cents per share. Stripping out a further 7 cents per share for the cost of repair after Superstorm Sandy, earnings were 45 cents per share. That still missed the average forecast of analysts polled by FactSet, of 50 cents per share. Verizon CFO Fran Shammo said the earnings miss was due to additional costs related to Sandy that the company couldn’t firmly attribute to the storm, and a “strategic decision” to invest in attracting new wireless customers by selling smartphones for a lower price. Revenue rose 6 percent to $30.05 billion from $28.44

Disney’s ‘Aladdin’ to sweep into Broadway

NEW YORK (AP) — A stage musical of the animated film “Aladdin” is riding a magic carpet to Broadway and the president of Disney Theatrical Productions promises it will be “a full-length, big song musical with big dance numbers.” Thomas Schumacher said in an interview that the final two-act “Aladdin” will build on the 1992 film blockbuster with new songs by Alan Menken, additional characters and, appropriately, some magic tricks. “If I look around Broadway right now, what I want to see is big production numbers. I want to see lush environments. I want surprise,” Schumacher said Friday. “You want a lot of humor, which we will do. And you want heart.” “Aladdin” will be directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw, whose previous hits include “The Book of Mormon” and “The Drowsy Chaperone.” Bob Crowley, who has a Tony for “Mary Poppins,” will design the sets, and Chad Beguelin has written the story and some lyrics. The musical will first be staged at T oronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre this November for nine weeks with an eye to bringing it

et sales gradually softening and the lavish show facing at least a few months in the red; the show would be in real trouble by the end of 2013. “There’s a little bit of science, and a little bit of art, and a little bit of plain old experience that you have to use to figure that out,” he said. Disney has some 10 projects in development, including musicals made from “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame,” ‘’Dumbo,” ‘’Father of the Bride” and “Freaky Friday,” and a play adaptation of “Shakespeare in Love.” On top of that, Disney has recently created a new version of “The Little Mermaid” for Moscow and a Spanishlanguage “Mary Poppins” for Mexico. “Sometimes it’s reinventing the shows we have, sometimes it’s taking the version we have and putting it into a new language and new culture, and sometimes it’s making a new show,” Schumacher said. Disney Theatrical Productions hope that “Aladdin” will grant its wish and join its five big hits from seven attempts since 1994 — a profitable list that includes “The Lion King” and the more recent “Newsies.” That’s way above the 3-in-10 average recoupment of most Broadway shows.

This undated publicity photo provided by Disney Theatrical Productions shows Aladdin with a lamp in a scene from the 1992 animated film, "Aladdin." to Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theatre in 2014. “Mary Poppins,” which is currently in the 1,797-seat New Amsterdam Theatre, ends its six-year run in March. The animated version of “Aladdin” starred Robin Williams as the voice of the big blue genie and earned $500 million worldwide. The film score was created by Menken and Howard

Ashman, with additional lyrics provided by Tim Rice after Ashman’s death. Menken won the 1992 Oscar for best original musical score and the film’s hit song, “A Whole New World,” won a Grammy and Oscar. Finding out how to make the genie come to life onstage was one of the biggest obstacles facing its creators. The answer for

Disney was to take him from a shape-shifting blue spirit to a Cab Callowaystyled vaudevillian. “I do feel pretty confident in what we’ve done with the genie,” said Schumacher. “When you buy a ticket and sit down in a theater, you want the live experience, not a film recreated.” He also explained why Disney decided to close

“Mary Poppins” even though it has been among the top 10 grossing shows for the past six years and top five for attendance: Its profitability wasn’t going to last too much longer. “I could tell that ‘Mary Poppins’ was coming to a place where it wasn’t going to be self-sufficient,” Schumacher said. “I can’t keep it alive artificially.” Projections showed tick-

Cooper, Lawrence propel superb ‘Silver Linings Playbook’

Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he'll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives. — The Weinstein Company

What it does right:

Foster’s rating — 5 out of 5 UFOs With a new year, I am going to usher in a new format to review movies. I have come to realize that if you are reading my review, you are most likely reading it to get my opinion on what does and does not work with a particular film. With that in mind, I am not going to write an overview, because that is the same regardless of where you read about a film. Instead, I will take the plot summary from either the official website of the movie or another legitimate website, so I can focus attention, and most importantly, space on the pros and cons of each movie.

Overview:

Life doesn't always go according to plan. Pat

Solatano (Bradley Cooper) has lost everything - his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself living back with his mother (Jacki Weaver) and father (Robert De Niro) after spending eight months in a state institution on a plea bargain. Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive and reunite with his wife (Brea Bee), despite the challenging circumstances of their separation. All Pat's parents want is for him to get back on his feet - and to share their family's obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets T if fany (Jennifer Lawrence), a mysterious girl with problems of her own, things get complicated. Tiffany offers to help

Prince Harry’s wartime role draws reprisal fears

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry’s admission that he killed Taliban fighters while working as a helicopter gunner in Afghanistan drew intense British media coverage Tuesday and sparked concerns about possible reprisals. The 28-year-old prince spoke in a pooled interview published late Monday after he was safely out of Afghanistan. He had spent the last 20 weeks deployed as a co-pilot and gunner in a heavily armed Apache attack helicopter. Asked if he had killed from the cockpit, the third-in-line to the British throne said: “Yeah, so, lots of people have.” The response was immediate Tuesday: The Daily Mirror tabloid ran a page-one headline “Royal Sensation Harry: I Killed Taliban” along with a photo of a macho-looking Harry in combat gear and designer shades. Other newspapers ran similar gung-ho stories about the prince’s military exploits. “Harry: I Have Killed” was the story in the Daily Mail. Video shot during the prince’s deployment was shown dozens of times on Britain’s major news networks. In Parliament on Tuesday, Defense Minister Mark Francois praised Harry, saying the prince should be commended for his bravery. He “has done well for his country,” Francois said, offering kind words for a prince who has occasionally embarrassed the royal family, most recently by being photographed naked as he played strip billiards at a Las Vegas hotel. Many in Harry’s family have also seen combat — most recently his uncle, Prince Andrew, who flew Royal Navy helicopters during the 1982 Falklands War. Prince Philip, his grandfather, served on Royal Navy battleships during World War II. Not everyone was applauding the soldier-prince. Lindsey German, leader of the Stop the War Coalition, called Harry’s comments “arrogant and insensitive” and raised the prospect that Harry might have accidently targeted Afghan civilians. Former officer Charles Heyman, who edits a yearbook on British forces, said the prince’s words may raise the already high threat level against him. “The royal family are all targets, and he now probably becomes the prime target, royal family-wise,” Heyman said. “But he can live with that. He’s a soldier, he knows what he’s doing.” Heyman said it was commendable that Harry had undertaken such a dangerous and demanding military job. “By and large, the world’s elite make sure their sons and daughters go nowhere near the firing line. So it brings credit to the royal family, and it’s good for army morale, that Harry’s not sitting back in London saying, ‘Well done, boys!”’ he said. Heyman said as an Apache gunner, Harry would have opened fire when directed to do so by a ground controller who would most likely have been under enemy fire. The prince typically would have been firing at Taliban forces in bunkers or protected in some way, not at troops out in the open, said the former officer.

What is everything, Alex. From the pacing, to the casting, “Silver Linings Playbook” (SLP) is a film worthy of its eight Oscar nominations. The first thing that struck me was the realism of the film. Typically with a character that has issues like Pat, the beginning of the film is used to give audiences a backstory of the character with issues. Director David O. Russell didn’t do that with Pat in SLP. Rather, the audience is introduced to Pat when he is talking to himself in his room at the state institution. We don’t know how or why he is ther e, but that is how r eal life is. When you meet someone, ther e is no convenient speech bubble that tells you a person’s life story. You meet them and, as you get to know them, you learn about them. That’s exactly what happens in SLP and that’s a big reason the film works as well as it does. As Pat and Tiffany get to know each other better and a bond develops, the audience feels like they are a part of the film and a connection for ms as a

result. Since I brought it up, now is a good time to talk about the r elationship between Pat and Tiffany. The thing that I love about their relationship is that it avoids “Hollywood-ness” (for the most part). What I mean by that is, usually when characters ar e flawed like Pat and Tiffany are, they get together via “fixing” each other. That’s not how it works in SLP, however. Pat and Tiffany develop a relationship with each other despite — or it can even be argued, because of — their respective blemishes. Also, on the topic of Pat and T iffany, Cooper and Lawr ence have an onscreen chemistry that is

character. John Ortiz, Anupam Kher and Chris Tucker also leave their marks in limited screen time.

What it does wrong:

See the first line of “What it does right.” I know that nothing is perfect, but when something is nearly as perfect as SLP, I am not going to nitpick and complain about something just to fill this category. It’d be like knocking the 1985 Chicago Bears down a notch because they lost to the Miami Dolphins.

Verdict:

“Silver Linings Playbook” is the best movie I watched that came out in 2012. Whether it is making you laugh or cry, or both at the same time, “Silver Linings Playbook” is a film that doesn’t pull any punches. It is as “real” a movie as you will get outside of a documentary and is worthy of all the praise it is receiving. If you are even a casual fan of movies, do yourself a favor and go watch it.

This publicity film image released by The Weinstein Company shows Jennifer Lawrence, left, and Bradley Cooper in “Silver Linings Playbook.” Cooper was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor and Lawrence was nominated for best actress on Jan. 10 for their roles in the film.

second-to-none. Whether it be their hilarious first encounter at a dinner, or their “first-date” over Raisin Bran, there is never a dull moment when Pat and T if fany ar e pair ed with each other. The style of the film also helps immerse the audience in the movie world. Much like “End of Watch,” Russell uses graininess in his favor. While most Hollywood films have a “glossiness” to them that subtly reminds the audience they are at a movie, the “grains” of SLP make the movie screen feel like a window, as opposed to a pr ojection of another world. The entire cast is something else that makes SLP stand out. Lawr ence, Cooper, Weaver and De Niro will, rightfully, get the bulk of the attention thanks to their Oscar nominated roles, but the bit characters shouldn’t get lost in the shuf fle. Julia Stiles isn’t on screen much as T iffany’s sister Veronica, but in the few minutes she is, she makes the audience loathe the
