Storm shuts I-40, schools as snow blankets area ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A severe winter blast struck most of New Mexico on Monday, closing hundreds of schools and shutting down a major highway from Albuquerque to that forced Gallup motorists to seek emergency shelter.

forced school districts to close or end classes early, as motorists struggled with icy roads during the morning commute.

Las Cruces police reported a handful of crashes caused by fog and black ice around Interstate 25 and Highway 70, and state police responded to accidents along Interstate 40.

No injuries were reported so far.

State of ficials closed

both directions of Interstate 40 from Albuquerque to Gallup — part of the historic Route 66 — after blowing snow caused nearzero visibility. State police redirected motorists to nearby casinos and motels.

Julia Pardue, a front desk attendant at the Super 8 hotel in Grants, said a number of stranded motorists got rooms for the rest of the day after Interstate 40 was closed rather

than wait for the highway to reopen.

“A lot of people just did not want to be on the roads,” she said.

State police did not know when the highway would reopen. Parts of Interstate 40 in Albuquerque and Santa Rosa also were closed temporarily.

In addition, a section of Interstate 25 just south of Socorro was closed after several tractor -trailers

Projecting extra revenue for next year’s budget SANTA FE (AP) — Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and the Democratic-controlled Legislature will have about $250 million available for budget increases and to potentially allow for tax cuts in the upcoming fiscal year, accor ding to an updated revenue forecast issued Monday.

Despite a sluggish economic recovery, the Legislatur e will start work in January for the first time since 2008

without a looming budget shortfall or the need to slash spending to avoid a deficit.

In the upcoming 2013 fiscal year, which starts next July, the state expects to collect nearly $5.7 billion in its main budget account. That’s about $9 million higher than October revenue estimates, according to a report outlined by top officials in the Martinez administration to the See BUDGET, Page A3

Trial starts on redistricting

SANTA FE, (AP) — The political tilt of New Mexico’s three congressional districts will be influenced for the rest of the decade by the outcome of a trial that started Monday.

It will be up to state District Judge James Hall, based on evidence presented during the trial, to decide how to revise congressional district boundaries.

Democrats currently hold two of the state’s congressional seats. Groups of Republicans, Democrats and minority voters are recommending options to the judge to consider in

drawing new boundaries.

district

District boundaries must be adjusted for population changes during the past decade. The goal is equalize district populations as much as possible to ensure that each New Mexican’s vote is of equal weight.

That’s necessary to comply with the legal requirements of one person, one vote.

GOP Gov. Susana Martinez, other Republicans and some Democrats, including Rep. Brian Egolf of Santa Fe, support a “least change” plan making few revisions to current districts. The proposal

would shift fewer than 25,000 New Mexicans into new districts, lawyers told the judge during open arguments.

That’s far less than other redistricting plans outlined to the judge.

A separate Democratic group, including Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas of Albuquerque, proposes consolidating most of Ber nalillo and Valencia counties into the 1st Congressional District. The plan would make the district slightly more Democratic in its voting, and

EU seeks to save the euro, but S&P isn’t convinced PARIS (AP) — Seeking to restore confidence in the euro, the leaders of France and Germany jointly have called for changes to the European Union treaty so that countries using the euro would face automatic penalties if budget deficits ran too high.

But not everyone on Wall Street was reassured that Europe would get control of its 2-year -old debt crisis.

Stock prices rose and borrowing costs for European governments dropped sharply in response to the changes proposed on Mon-

day by French President Nikolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But some of the optimism faded late in the day when Standard and Poor’s threatened to cut its credit ratings on 15 eurozone countries, including the likes of Ger many, France and Austria which have been considered Europe’s safest government debt issuers.

The announcement came only hours after Sarkozy and Merkel revealed sweeping plans to change the EU treaty in an effort to keep

tighter checks on overspending nations. The proposal is set to for m the basis of discussions at a summit of EU leaders on Thursday and Friday that is expected to provide a blueprint for an exit from the crisis.

While the Franco-German plan would tie the 17eurozone nations closer together, a tighter union would likely also result in heavier financial burdens for the region’s stronger economies, which have See EURO, Page A3

Postal cutbacks to delay 1st-class mail A2 Tuesday, December 6, 2011

NEW YORK (AP) — Utility bills are paid, legal briefs are filed and the Christmas shopping all gets done online. But for magazines, clothing catalogues and movies, the mail still matters.

For some mail-dependent businesses, quick and cheap first-class mail service from the U.S. Postal Service is still the best way to reach prospective customers and subscribers.

And for many, it’s still an important way to get paid.

The Postal Service, which has been losing money for five years, said Monday that it is shuttering more than 200 mail processing centers, adding at least a day’s wait for many firstclass deliveries. The news was met with concern and frustration from some businesses — and shrugs from others that long ago stopped relying on the post office.

GENERAL

First-class mail is supposed to arrive at U.S. homes and businesses in one to three days; about 42 percent of it arrives in one day. The cutbacks will back up deliveries to two to three days; periodicals could take up to nine days.

Cookie Driscoll of Fairfield, Pa., designs and sells decorative animal stickers to gift shops. She uses the Postal Service for almost all deliveries because prices are low and predictable, and delivery is fast. She also receives most of her income by paper checks through the mail.

The change could represent an operational headache for L.L. Bean, which mails 250 million catalogues a year to sell outdoor clothing and equipment. Now the company knows the day its catalogues will arrive in homes, and it can put on extra staff at call centers on the

appointed day. It won’t be able to do that anymore.

“We are increasingly concerned about any proposal that would degrade the level of service such as greater variability in delivery deadlines,” said Carolyn Beem, an L.L. Bean spokeswoman.

Most Netflix customers who subscribe to the company’s DVD-by-mail service watch movies on the weekends and should still be able to return movies Monday and have new ones on Friday, according to Michael Pachter, an analyst at the investment fir m Wedbush. But other users will notice a delay, he said.

Netflix — one of the Postal Service’s biggest customers, with expenses of up to $600 million a year — has repeatedly warned in regulatory filings that any Postal Service cutbacks that delay its DVD-by-mail deliveries will make it more

Keep pets and animals warm during the cold wintery season JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

With temperatures dropping into the single digits, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals want to remind people that dogs and other animals can suffer from frostbite and exposure. If water freezes, they can become dehydrated.

Cold weather spells extra hardship for backyard dogs and outdoor cats who often go without adequate food, water, shelter, or veterinary care. The winter months can also pose challenges for wildlife.

PETA recommends members of the public to keep animals inside. This is absolutely critical when it comes to puppies and kittens, elderly animals, small animals, and dogs

with short hair.

Don't allow cats or dogs to roam outdoors. During winter, cats sometimes climb under the hoods of cars to be near war m engines and are badly injured or killed when the car is started.

When animals come inside from the snow, wipe of f legs, feet and stomachs. Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow can make animals sick if they ingest them.

Additional food during the winter will help maintain body temperature because they burn more calories in an ef fort to stay warm.

Watch for stray animals. Take unidentified animals inside until you can find their guardians or take them to an animal shelter. If strays are skittish or otherwise unap-

proachable, provide food and water and call Animal Services for assistance.

Report animals left outside without shelter from the elements to authorities.

During extreme winter weather, birds and other animals may have trouble finding food and water.

Of fer food to wildlife who are caught in storms or white-outs by spreading birdseed on the ground. Caring people can provide access to water by filling heavy dishes with water and breaking the surface ice twice a day.

PETA also recomends that food sources be removed once the weather improves to encourage the animals to move on to warmer areas. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

No one was injured during the incident and no money stolen.

The description of the suspect given to police is vague — a male, possibly Hispanic, wearing dark clothes and a ski mask.

Department of Homeland Security estimates criminals who steal metals are costing New Mexico businesses $1.5 million every month.

The problem is so out of hand that various legislators want to require secondhand metal dealers to be licensed by the state. Their theory is that tighter regulation of businesses may discourage thieves from stealing metals in the first place.

difficult to keep subscribers happy. And, with encouragement from Netflix, customers are already abandoning mail service for movies delivered online.

But for many companies, the changes will have no effect. Some have already stopped relying on the Postal Service, moving online for billing or to overnight companies FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. for critical deliveries. First-class mail volume is 78 billion per year, down from a peak of 104 billion in 2001. It is projected to drop by roughly half by 2020.

The healthcare company Medco said in a statement that it did not expect the postal changes to have a major effect on its business, although the online drug distributor used the Postal Service to send most of its 110 million drug shipments last year.

Keith Ashmus, an attorney at Frantz Ward in Cleveland, said his office can now file pleadings and motions electronically, so it sends far less mail than it used to. Documents served by mail are allowed three days to arrive, which means there will still be enough time for delivery by first class even with the changes.

In some cases, magazine publishers and other bulk mailers who drop off shipments at processing centers that remain open may be able to get their materials delivered the next day.

A spokesman for the MPA-the Association of Magazine Media, a magazine trade group, said the changes may cause printing and transportation problems for weekly publications.

The service changes will almost certainly send more business activity online

and to FedEx and UPS. David Ross, a transportation analyst at investment firm Stifel Nicolaus predicts the new business from postal cutbacks will stem the losses FedEx and UPS saw in overnight document deliveries during the recession.

The 28,000 job cuts announced by the Postal Service likely won’t make a big difference to the economy or job market, economists say. Private delivery companies will probably get more business as the Postal Service cuts back.

Postal Service employment has been declining for years. The service has cut more than 30,000 jobs in the past year, the government’s Friday employment report showed.

Postal Service employment peaked at 909,000 in 1999 and has declined steadily since, falling to 612,400 last month.

HONOLULU (AP) — Clarence Pfundheller was standing in front of his locker on the USS Maryland when a fellow sailor told him they were being bombed by Japanese planes.

“We never did call him a liar but he could stretch the truth pretty good,” Pfundheller said. “But once you seen him, you knew he was not lying.”

The 21-year -old Iowa native ran up to the deck that Sunday morning to man a five-inch anti-aircraft gun. Seventy years later, he remembers struggling to shoot low-flying Japanese planes as smoke from burning oil billowed through the air.

“This was the worst thing about it — yeah, your eyes — it bothered you. It bothered your throat too, because there was so much of that black smoke rolling around that a lot of times you could hardly see,” he said.

Now 91, Pfundheller will be returning to Pearl Harbor on Wednesday for the 70th

anniversary ceremony honoring those lost in the Dec. 7, 1941, attack that brought the United States into World War II. Accompanying him will be fellow survivors, other World War II veterans, and a handful of college students eager to hear their stories.

The student and veteran group will be among 3,000 people attending a ceremony the Navy and the National Park Service host jointly each year at a site overlooking where the USS Arizona sank in the attack.

The College of the Ozarks program aims to preserve the stories of veterans — something that’s becoming increasingly urgent for Pearl Harbor survivors as the youngest are in their late 80s.

Pfundheller said he enlisted in the Navy in 1939 because he kept hearing there was going to be a war and he wanted to know what to do when the fighting started. By the time Japanese fighter planes and torpedo bombers invaded the skies above Hawaii, he

Navy and National Park Service divers on Tuesday will lower Lee Soucy’s cremated remains into the USS Utah, which rolled over and sank next to Ford Island after being hit by a torpedo.

Soucy died last year at the age of 90 in Plainview, Texas. He’ll be joining some 50 men who perished when the ship sank and eight survivors whose ashes were interred there after their deaths decades later.

areas, like in Tajique, saw 2-foot snow drifts.

The severe weather in the morning convinced the University of New Mexico to canceled classes, and Bernalillo County courts were ordered closed for the day. The planned lighting of the Christmas Tree in Santa Fe was postponed.

Kerry Jones, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, said most of the heavy snowfall ended by Monday afternoon and just around an inch or two was expected throughout most of New Mexico. Jones said residents should expect “bitter cold” weather with temperatures 15 below zero in some parts.

“It’s going to be a very cold night across the board,” Jones said.

When drivers see snow plows on the roads, they should be sure to maintain between a 30 to 50 feet distance behind the plow, Kurtz advised. He also encouraged drivers to keep emergency supply kits in their vehicles, especially when travelling out of town. The kit should include non- perishable food, water, blankets and a flashlight.

tional revenues likely will go to cover anticipated gr owth in Medicaid, which pays for health car e for the poor and uninsured children.

State workers and educators started paying an extra 1.75 per cent of their salaries for their pensions in July, but those r etir ement fund contributions will drop — forcing the state to spend an extra $50 million — starting in July 2012 unless the Legislature appr oves a change in law. The higher employee pension payments will drop automatically under current law if the state’s revenues rebound by a certain amount.

The r evenue pr ojections, which were developed by economists for the administration and the Legislatur e, ar e

important because lawmakers will use them in making budget decisions during the upcoming 30day legislative session.

According to the latest report: — Revenues should be almost $21 million higher than expected in the current budget year, which started in July. Economists project revenues to gr ow 2.4 per cent over 2011. Finance and Administration Secretary Tom Clifford and Taxation and Revenue Secretary Demesia Padilla told lawmakers that higher than-anticipated r evenues from the oil and gas industry account for most of the improvement.

— The state will end the current fiscal year with cash r eserves of $599 million, which is the equivalent of 11 per-

cent of spending. However, the finance committee estimates that $100 million of that could be needed for one-time spending projects and to supplement this year’s budget for some pr ograms, including Medicaid.

— About $299 million will be available for capital improvement projects from general obligation bonds, which are repaid with pr operty tax r evenues and must be approved by voters. Two years ago, voters rejected a bond issue for projects at colleges and universities.

— About $130 million should be available for capital pr ojects fr om bonds backed by severance taxes, which require approval of the Legislature but not voters.

A Hispanic civil rights group, the New Mexico League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, advocates creating a Hispanic majority district in southern and south-central New Mexico. If the judge adopted that proposal it would transform a solidly GOP seat into a swing district that would give a Democratic candidate a much better chance of winning.

The proposal would move about 250,000 New Mexicans into new districts.

In his opening arguments, LULAC lawyer Santiago Juarez said no Hispanic congressional candidate has been elected in the 2nd District

because “they have been defeated by the white vote.”

“The court has to sit here and say, ‘Is it time?” said Juarez.

The state must comply with the federal Voting Rights Act in reshaping districts to avoid diluting the voting strength of minorities, such as Native Americans and Hispanics.

Redistricting landed in court after the Legislature failed to approve a plan for new congressional districts and the governor vetoed Democratic-backed proposals for legislative and Public Regulation Commission districts. Trials on legislative and PRC redistricting will be held

after the judge wraps up the congressional case, which is expected to last several days this week.

Hispanics account for 46 percent of New Mexico’s population. Currently, Hispanics represent 47 percent of the voting-age population of the 2nd District, 44 percent in the Albuquerque-area 1st District and 36 percent in the 3rd District of northern New Mexico.

Republican Congressman Steve Pearce represents the 2nd District.

Democrats hold the state’s other congressional seats — Martin Heinrich in the 1st District and Ben Ray Lujan in the 3rd District.

countries.

The euro fell after the S&P announcement, trading down 0.1 percent at $1.339, and trading in futures on the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average turned negative.

After the New York markets closed, S&P confirmed that it had placed 15 nations on notice for possible downgrades.

Only two countries that use the euro weren’t affected: Cyprus already had that designation and Greece already has ratings low enough to suggest that it’s likely to default soon anyway.

France and Germany, the eurozone’s two largest economies which current-

ly both have an AAA-rating, quickly came out against the S&P move.

Stocks had risen after the leaders of France and Germany called for a new treaty to impose greater fiscal discipline on European countries. Yields on Italian government bonds receded sharply after the new premier Mario Monti introduced sweeping austerity measures over the weekend. That suggests traders believe Italy is less likely to default.

Investors are hoping that the summit of European leaders on Thursday and Friday will produce concrete measures to prevent a messy breakup of the euro currency, which

is shared by 17 nations.

Markets have been jittery because of fears that the euro might disintegrate, causing a sharp recession in Europe that would spread through the world economy.

With such fears in the air, the United States is ratcheting up its involvement.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner Geithner will meet Tuesday in Germany with ECB President Mario Draghi and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble. On Wednesday, he travels to France for talks with Sarkozy and the prime minister -elect of Spain, Mariano Rajoy Brey.

Dividing up the gaming pie among casinos A4 Tuesday, December 6, 2011

OPINION

So the Warm Springs Apaches won the right to declare their 30 acres near Deming a reservation.

You can bet your bottom dollar there will be a casino.

Luna County, with 12 percent unemployment, would jump for joy because when tribes build casinos, they create jobs for tribal members and non-tribal members alike.

The announcement was a win for the tribe and a win for history.

When this started, a lot of people said, “Deming? Why do Oklahoma Indians want to be in Deming?”

For a while, journalists provided some tortured explanations before somebody finally opened a history book, and they’ve since reported correctly that the Deming area was a portion of their ancestral land.

Some critical details: After Geronimo died, the Apaches held as prisoners at Fort Sill were given a choice between individual land allotments in Oklahoma or a move to the Mescalero Reservation. The

Chiricahuas and some Warm Springs people moved to Mescalero, but most of the Warm Springs band stayed in Oklahoma, believing they would eventually be allowed to live in their old country.

Despite their loss of land base, they never lost their identity, and Fort Sill Apache chairman Jeff Haozous says his people never gave up hope of returning.

many tribes, casinos work, and they’ve been around long enough that the model is established.

Casinos are also training wheels; many a tribe has gone on to other business enterprises, usually funded with gaming revenues.

The down side can be staggering debt to build or rebuild ever more posh gaming establishments. And local communities shoulder a heavier burden for police, fire protection and infrastructure without sharing in the revenues.

Whether casinos contribute to local economies depends mostly on who the customers are. If they’re locals, they’re not contributing but simply recycling money that would be spent elsewhere. Perched alongside I-10 between Las Cruces and Deming, the Apaches’ casino would draw truckers and travelers, and, as far as I know, it wouldn’t compete directly with other casinos.

Yet.

The Mescaleros are reportedly not pleased. And with Raton’s racino possibly derailed, Jemez Pueblo is again insisting on its right to a casino in southern New Mexico at Anthony.

“Location is destiny, and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act is our one chance to change our destiny by applying for better-located land upon which we can build our own Indian gaming facility,” wrote Gov Michael Toledo Jr. in August.

Toledo recited a long list of needs: housing, infrastructure, irrigation, schools. And Anthony supports the proposal.

Meanwhile, the Navajo Nation just opened its $60 million Northern Edge Casino in San Juan County, where two other casinos (including another Navajo casino) already operate. The Navajos, however, are trying to create a destination; future plans call for a hotel and convention center.

Lately we have fireworks over

awarding the racino contract for the New Mexico State Fair to the incumbent, the Downs at Albuquerque. Laguna Development Corp. says it made the better offer, two commissioners protested the deal, and Tom Tinnin resigned in protest from the state Board of Finance. The fair isn’t paying its way, and gaming could change the balance sheet.

The common theme running through most of these situations: Community needs and jobs in rural areas, which don’t have a lot of options. And yet casino revenues have barely grown in the last year or so, according to the state, so more establishments will divide that pie. The cliché for economic developers is growing the pie, but it’s not growing.

The sad case of Happy Meals

The ordinance San Francisco passed last year that prohibits restaurants from offering children’s toys with high-calorie, high-fat foods — the so-called Happy Meal ban — finally went into effect late last week.

However, it was served with a heaping side of unintended consequences.

Shockingly, McDonald’s (the clear target of the ordinance) altered its policies to get around the ban. Instead of giving away a toy with a Happy Meal, San Francisco McDonald’s restaurants will now require customers to make a 10-cent charitable donation to Ronald McDonald House in order to receive the gewgaw. They can buy a Happy Meal without the toy, but they can’t buy the toy without the Happy Meal.

According to SF Weekly, city officials and health activists were “blindsided” by the move. Of course they were.

Nanny-staters seemingly never consider the consequences of their heavy-handed actions. Perhaps they are too consumed by their self-righteousness and dictatorial desires to appreciate human nature. They believe people will just passively accept more and more facets of their everyday lives being micromanaged by busybodies.

As the history of central planning and statism shows, eventually a large number of citizens will chafe at such control. They will find ways to circumvent regulations, either legally (as San Francisco McDonald’s have) or illegally (via graft or a black market).

Government’s response often is to pass even more regulation in desperate, reactive attempts to tamp down on every recalcitrant actor. The size and power of the state grow as the ends justify the means. What might have started as a modest (if annoying) “for your own good” rule can multiply like kudzu into a myriad number of complex laws, with an accompanying expansion in bureaucratic administration. The costs of compliance and enforcement create a drag on the economy.

Individual freedom shrinks.

Look at the immediate consequences of the Happy Meal ordinance. San Francisco has made McDonald’s kids meals a tad more expensive and a little more cumbersome to order. And to what end? City officials and their “food activist” allies said they wanted to combat the “crisis” of childhood obesity, which they blame on fast-food restaurants marketing their fattening wares to moppets.

Even if you accept the premise that McDonald’s plays a significant role in children’s weight, and that Happy Meal toys in particular are the gateway to a life of burgers and fries, that still overlooks the fact that it is the responsibility of parents to monitor what their kids eat, and to say no when the young’uns plead for the Happy Meal with the Hello Kitty figurine. It is not government’s role to step in between mom and the front counter and dictate to businesses what they should offer their customers.

The Happy Meal law by itself hardly is the critical piece to keeping the Jenga tower erect. But it is symptomatic of government’s (both local and national) creeping reach into the private sphere. If parents should do a better job of watching their children’s waistlines, then all citizens similarly should be vigilant in restricting government’s intake of our personal freedoms.

DEAR READER: In general, thumb- and finger sucking in an infant is not something to worry about.

You have little control over it, anyway.

Why do babies suck their fingers and thumbs? Who knows? The babies can’t tell you. One theory is that nursing is comforting to babies: It provides food to take away hunger and offers contact with mom.

The real American family values The big joke about the TV show “Family Guy” is how insensitive the main character, Peter Griffin, is with his family. He insults everyone, degrades women, spits antigay venom and treats his children with disrespect and disdain.

The irony is that Grif fin believes he truly is the family guy, the one who says he loves his kids but then ignores them at home. He believes he represents the best of American family values — a cartoon character who is watched by millions of people around the country and the world.

Postal Service consolidation opposed

Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in response to the article in Sunday’s paper, Nov. 27, concerning the United States Postal Service consolidating the mail-processing operation in Roswell to Lubbock, Texas. I believe the citizens and business people in Roswell need to be aware of the consequences of this endeavor.

Postal management will tell you the delivery time won’t be affected and you will have the same delivery times but don’t believe that for a minute. When you mail a payment, Christmas card, or anything in town and it travels 200 miles and is processed and must travel 200 miles back to Roswell, how can that be quicker or the same delivery time as being processed here? Whenever you mail a payment anywhere and it has to travel an additional 200 miles is it going to make it on time or are you going to be charged a late fee? Why are you being charged for first class mail service and this consolidation will provide third class service (3-4 days) or more?

How many businesses in Roswell and all of southeast New Mexico depend on timely mail and parcel delivery?

How many elderly (or any person for that matter) in Roswell depend on timely delivery of medication and other necessities?

The mail-processing facility on Brasher Road not only processes mail for Roswell but also Clovis, Portales, Hobbs, Lovington, Carlsbad, Artesia, Dexter, Hagerman, and all of the smaller communities in southeast New Mexico. It is one of the most efficient mail-processing facilities in the Western area and the Phoenix district with the capacity to process even more. There are many dedicated and hard-working employees who face an uncertain employment future with this consolidation.

Many of these employees are military veterans who have served their country honorably. How many of these

up repeatedly when she loses it during the night.

Make sure you don’t let the pacifier become a crutch. Before you put the pacifier into your baby’s mouth, ask yourself if it is really sucking that your baby wants. If your baby just needs comforting, there are other things you can do.

Try talking or singing to your baby, picking her up and swaying fr om side to side. She may just need to know you are there and that you

will protect her.

Because your baby already has an alternative to the pacifier — her thumb — my advice would be to gradually take away the pacifier. I emphasize “gradually”: Sudden changes can be very upsetting.

Thumb-sucking may become problematic if it persists beyond age 4 or 5. But by that time, it will more than likely be a long-forgotten habit.

employees must uproot their families, try to sell their houses, remove their children from school, and start over in a new city?

What impact will this consolidation have on the economy in Roswell? These employees own houses, buy vehicles, purchase groceries and add to the tax base here in Roswell. The United States Postal Service was established over 200 years ago as our forefathers were wise enough to foresee how a free nation needed a reliable way to communicate. The U.S. Postal Service is voted as one of the most trusted government agencies every year by the American people. The U.S. Postal Service has operated without any tax dollars since 1981 although certain politicians claim the Postal Service needs a taxpayer bailout. All of the financial problems began in 2006 under H.R. 6407 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act; this law required the Postal Service to pre-fund 75 years of future retiree health benefits in just 10 years to the tune of $5.5 billion a year. No other government agency or private business is required to do this. Oftentimes the United States Postal Service is compared to UPS or FedEx but there is no comparison as the United States Postal Service is designed to not make a profit and mandated to deliver to every address in the United States. It is just that: a service for the American people. How many private for profit businesses would or could deliver to every address and still make a profit?

They wouldn’t be in business long especially in rural states like New Mexico, or would have to charge outrageous fees for delivery to certain areas. If you are outraged, concerned, or may be affected by this consolidation please attend the public meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14, at Eastern New Mexico University, Room OTC 124, 20 W.

why I didn’t ask a deported mother of U.S.-born children why she had kids when she was living in a country without papers. That would mean that I would have to pose this question: Why did you have unprotected sex when your passport was invalid or your visa had expired or you crossed the border? How dare you have sex and procreate, how dare you seek love if you don’t have papers?

I remember almost 20 years ago when I was still averse to having children. The people who inspired me to have a child couldn’t have been more different than me. There was the Hassidic Lubavitcher family in Brooklyn, N.Y., with a dozen kids. The mom spoke so warmly about the hope it takes to bring a child into the world when two people love each other in marriage. She asked me why, as a new wife, I had not had children yet and I told her that my career came first, and we didn’t have the space, the time or the money. She looked at me like I was an extraterrestrial because she didn’t think these were valid excuses not to have children.

President is boss

Dear Editor: If my memory is correct the “Bank Bailout” was passed by the Senate in October 2008. Mr. Bush was president, the Senate had a Republican majority. Mr. Obama entered office Jan. 20, 2009.

Now, let us consider business in the real world. A worker can be fired if he/she does not perform as the “boss” has determined is best for the company, in turn best for all the employees.

Now, as I see it, we have a similar situation in national politics. The president is the “boss.” He has determined what he and several economists agree on how best to get people back to gainful employment, i.e. paying taxes, no longer needing food stamps, Medicaid or free hospital care — the very things against which you rail.

I suggest people read several articles in the main stream press. This does mean liberal, left wing press.

Peg Briney Roswell Those Jewish Hasidic family values struck a chord with me.

The other inspiration was a Dec. 12 church visit to celebrate the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The Virgin has become the patron saint of all Mexicans and of all immigrants. Back then, I saw so many babies in the packed Catholic Church, it filled me with a sense of hope. If my paisanas can deliver babies with love even though they might be poor and without papers, that is a true sign of hope for the future and of the power of family. We may not survive, but perhaps a future generation that we create might have lives better than us.

On this Dec. 12, I won’t be thinking about a primetime cartoon. Instead, I will be thinking back to the real family values of those who believed in love and hope even in times of desperation. Those are my American family values.

Picture books can entertain adults as well as children LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

December is Safe Toys and Gifts Month. Toys are a fun and important part of any child’s development. The holiday season is the time when scores of new toys are purchased as gifts and one of the keys to buying safe toys is to buy age-appropriate toys.

Some toys have stood the test of time and the National Toy Hall of Fame features 49 popular toys that have inspired creative play over a sustained period. Small in scale, but huge in the toy world, this year’s inductees are: Hot Wheels, the iconic toy car with an edgy attitude; the dollhouse, a perennial favorite of children and adult collectors alike; and the blanket, a humble, everyday household object often transformed by children into an imaginative plaything.

The Roswell Public Library has more than 300 books under the subject heading of toys. These include fictional stories, factual information, price guides and crafting toys. There are also books on making gifts for a variety of ages and occasions.

struck” and Kadir Nelson’s “Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African-Americans” both contain illustrations and pictures that enhance and complete the written text.

“Wonderstruck” is two stories told side by side; one told in the written text and another entire story told through his illustrations. The text story takes place in the 1970s where Ben, a young boy, has just lost his mother and his hearing. He decides to head to New York City to look for the man he believes to be his father. All he has is an old faded bookmark and his box of wonders; a box containing odds and ends that have meaning to Ben and Ben alone. After arriving in New York, Ben discovers his one lead is a dead end. Alone, penniless and unable to hear, Ben finds himself at the American Museum of Natural History where he is amazed to find a diorama of his home, a small lake-side town in Minnesota. Through a bit of good luck and a newfound friend, Ben manages to find his long-lost family.

While Ben’s story is going on, the illustrations take the reader back in time to 1927 to meet Rose, a young, deaf girl who has an obsession with a silent film actress. Rose escapes her house and goes to find the actress who turns out to be her mother. However, Rose is a secret that her mother has kept from all of her

President, Congress breach contract

Dear Editor: When a contractor submits a bid to build a house, road, bridge, etc., there is a completion clause with a penalty imposed for failure to complete the contract by the specified date. The penalty may be a reduced charge, a cancellation of the contract, or whatever penalty is described within the contract.

President Obama stated he would reduce the federal budget 50 percent within one year and reduce unemployment from over 8 percent to 4 percent within one year. He blamed the prior administration, Congress, the action in Iraq and Afghanistan as reasons for not meeting those deadlines. Of course, he was able to go to Martha’s Vineyard, Hawaii and many other places while the American economy continued to get worse and unemployment grew.

Whatever the reason(s), he did not meet his pledge (contract), yet he has time to travel, educate, lobby and campaign for reelection. President Obama did not meet his contract with the people.

Congress had taken no action on the federal budget for over 900 days in September. Congress “kicked the can down the road” in order to authorize the government to extend and increase the federal deficit. The Congress went on “recess” to return to the home districts to explain the intricacies of the budget. This could be defined as an opportunity to campaign for reelection. Congress has not met the terms of its contract with the people.

A special congressional committee was appointed to make recommendations to reduce the deficit and recommend spending cuts. The deadline was set for Nov. 23, 2011. The committee announced that it was deadlocked and no decisions and no recommendations were reached.

The committee ceased to exist two days before the assigned deadline with literally nothing accomplished. The committee and Congress “recessed” with yet another job not taking personal responsibility. It was time to return to the local districts for the holidays.

This is another opportunity for campaigning, explaining how each member had done such a wonderful job representing his or her constituents by “kicking the can down the road,” by extending the authorization for increasing the excessive federal deficits and increased spending, pointing fingers by blaming others and not taking personal responsibility for congressional failure.

The special committee and Congress did not meet the

He convinces her to retur n home where their father has been trying to get Rose to learn a new method of communication, sign language. The two stories have an interesting intersection at the end of the book and the reader must pay special attention to the illustrations or risk missing out on an entire story and plot.

In “Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African-Americans,” he has created an epic yet intimate introduction to the history of America and African-Americans, from colonial days through the civil rights movement.

The information he provides is thorough and covers 500 years of history. Each chapter deals with a specific time period and/or significant event in African-American history. In addition, each page of text is paired with a beautiful oil painting that correlates with the story. For instance, George Washington is sitting proud on horseback while his slave holds his hat next to him.

Along with the beautiful illustrations, Nelson has written a historical story that is engaging, thoughtful and educational without being boring.

RDR Business Review Page is a great way to advertise - now with new, lower rates!

The Roswell Daily Record’s Business Review Page is a great way for a business to advertise. The Business Review Pages run three times a week, in the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday papers.

There are a few spots available right now on the Tuesday and Thursday pages. We usually have a “waiting list”.

The Daily Record’s Sarah Juarez can fill you in on the complete details. Phone Sarah at 622-7710 - ext. 15.

The basic setup for the Business Review Page is as follows: You sign up and we run your ad on the bottom half of the Business Review Page on it’s assigned day (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) each week. We have a maximum of twentysix ads running per page.

After advertising weekly for six months, you will receive a “free feature article” (then another one six months after your

first free one and another one six months after that) as our “Thank You!” for advertising on the Business Review Page.

This six month schedule comes from having up to twenty-six (maximum) advertisers per page and a fifty-two week year.

With ads starting as low as $21.43 (including tax) per week, the Business Review Page is ideal for businesses large and small to obtain effective advertising on a small budget. The old rate was $26.78, including tax.

The feature article typically uses two photographs and the equivalent of two double-spaced typewritten pages of information about your business. It’s an ad that looks like a written story. This info usually consists of what you have to offer (services and/or product); who you are (history); where you are located; when you are open; and how to get in touch with you.

The typical layout can be altered to fit your circumstance. If you want more pictures, we can cut down on the article’s length. We do what ever works best for you.

Bill Flynt is the Business Review Page Editor.

Bill takes the photographs and either writes the text (with your input,) or uses an article that you provide for your feature story. We can also use your photographs, if you have ones you want to use.

Many local business owners (like the three pictured here) have found this feature to be an ideal way for them to advertise economically. They have an ad in the Roswell Daily Record once a week, on their regular day, and then they have a half page write-up with pictures twice a year to tell the story of their business.

Please call Sarah Juarez at 622-7710, ext. 15, for complete information and prices.

In this economy you’ve

got to advertise to stay in business, and the Roswell Daily Record's Business Review Page is an effective way to do it, especially now with the new, lower rates.

Call now while there are still spaces available. It’s a great deal and you will see more customers coming in the front door when you advertise in the newspaper.

It is a great way to inform people about your business because advertising in the Roswell Daily Record works.

Grow past an immediate hassle. Take all the time you need to reflect on what change you would like to make and how you would like to make it. Tonight: Get plenty of R and R. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ##### Meetings point out the path to success. You understand what is happening and what is necessary to make it happen.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS AVERAGE MLB SALARY CLIMBS TO $3.1 MILLION

DALLAS (AP) — The average major league salary increased 2.7 percent this year to nearly $3.1 million, the largest rise since 2008.

The 913 players on Aug. 31 rosters and disabled lists averaged $3,095,183, the Major League Baseball Players Association said Monday in its annual report, up from $3,014,572 last year when the average topped $3 million for the first time.

The average figures to go up next year, with the minimum salary rising from $414,000 to $480,000 under the new labor contract.

The New York Yankees had the highest average salary for the 13th consecutive season, but at $6.54 million it declined for the second straight year, down from a peak of $7.66 million when they won the World Series in 2009.

Philadelphia was second at $6.44 million, followed by Boston ($5.21 million), the Los Angeles Angels ($4.58 million) and the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals ($4.47 million). AL champion Texas was 15th at $3.01 million.

Among other playoff teams, Detroit was ninth at $3.96 million, Milwaukee 11th at $3.41 million, Arizona 22nd at $2.12 million and Tampa Bay 28th at $1.54 million. Commissioner Bud Selig has pointed out several times that changes to baseball’s labor contract in recent years have increased competitive balance.

Kansas City was last at $1.34 million, just behind San Diego at $1.35 million.

Pittsburgh, which was last in 2010, rose to 27th at $1.73 million.

Among regulars at positions, designated hitters took over as the highest average at $9.3 million, followed by first basemen at $8.9 million. With the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez spending time on the disabled list and failing to play 100 games at third base, that position’s average dropped from $6.5 million to $5.2 million.

Outfielders were at $5.6 million, second basemen $5.2 million, starting pitchers $4.9 million, shortstops $3.9 million, catchers $2.6 million and relief pitchers $1.9 million.

The commissioner’s office will not determine its final figures for a few weeks.

Management’s numbers usually differ slightly because of different methods of calculation.

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

I have seen a lot of high school football games in my day and I can safely say that Saturday’s 4A state game championship between Goddard and Aztec was one of the best I’ve ever witnessed.

Both teams played well enough to win, but only one could win and my hat goes off to Aztec for being that team.

The two best teams in the state played in the championship game, hands down. Both teams deserved to be there and both were capable of winning that game.

I’ve already heard the “terrible officiating” arguments from some folks and I think it’s sad that people automatically go to that when their team loses.

The state championship game was a very well officiated game and that is coming from someone who has seen his fair share of downright awful officiating in this state.

The bottom line is this; Aztec, for one game, outplayed Goddard.

The T igers had a well-

Dotson tripped Anaya up at the Tiger 3 and Goddard scored one play later. Aztec won the game, though, to capture its first state championship since 1953.

Rematch: LSU vs. Alabama in BCS title game See IN THE BOOKS, Page B2

Play it again, LSU and Alabama.

The Crimson Tide edged out Oklahoma State in the final round of voting Sunday and will play the topranked Tigers in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 9 in New Orleans.

Undefeated LSU is the only team to beat Alabama this season, and the head BCS official sees a do-over as a per fectly good title game.

“Absolutely, if they’re 1 and 2, and they are in all the polls released today,” executive director Bill Hancock said.

Still, it’s not exactly a game the public was clamoring for — at least outside of Southeastern Conference territory. And it will do nothing to quiet the critics of the Bowl Championship Series or the calls for a college football playoff.

But like it or not, the system has ensured that

Santo makes HOF

DALLAS (AP) — Ron Santo always kept rooting for the causes dearest to him — for his Chicago Cubs to win the World Series, for doctors to find a cure for diabetes and for him to reach the Hall of Fame.

On Monday, Cooperstown finally came calling.

The barrel-chested third baseman who clicked his heels in victory was elected to the Hall, overwhelmingly chosen by the Veterans Committee nearly a year to the day after he died hoping for this very honor.

“It’s really exciting because so many years that we had parties over to his house in spring training saying this is the year, I’d tell him this is the year you’re going in,” said Hall of Fame teammate Billy Williams, a member of the voting panel.

“The one thing, of course, is he’s not here to enjoy it, but his family will. He long awaited this, and we’re all happy. I know I’m happy, his family is happy, the fans of Chicago are happy,” he said.

Santo was a nine-time All-Star, hit 342 home runs and won five Gold Gloves. He was a Cubs broadcaster for two decades, beloved by the home crowd for the way he eagerly cheered for his favorite team on the air, hollering “Yes! Yes!” or “All right!” after good plays and groaning “Oh, no!” or “It’s bad” when things went wrong.

Shortly after the announcement, Santo’s flag — white with blue pinstripes, plus his name and No. 10 — was flying from the center pole atop the scoreboard at Wrigley Field.

“There was always kind of a missing piece of the puzzle of Cubs’ history,” team owner Tom Ricketts said.

Santo breezed in with 15 votes from the 16-member panel that met at baseball’s winter meetings. It took 75 percent — 12 votes — to get chosen.

the SEC — home to both schools — will run its streak of BCS championships to six in a row.

The Cowboys made a late surge by beating Oklahoma 44-10 on Saturday night, and closed the gap between themselves and Alabama in the polls. But it was not enough to avoid the first title game rematch in the 14-year history of the BCS. The Tigers (13-0) beat the

T ide 9-6 in overtime on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa.

Luck, Griffin among finalists

Alabama’s Trent Richardson, left, Baylor Robert Griffin III, center, and Stanford’s Andrew Luck are among the five finalists for the 2011 Heisman Trophy.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andrew Luck entered the season as the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.

The Stanford quarterback will head to New York for the presentation of college football’s most famous player of the year award having relinquished that status.

Luck, along with Robert Griffin III, Trent Richardson, Tyrann Mathieu and Montee Ball are the Heisman finalists. The group, announced Monday on ESPN, will be in New York for the presentation Saturday night.

It’s a return trip for Luck, the only repeat

finalist this season, while the other QB on the list, Griffin, is the first Baylor player to get an invite to the ceremony. The school has never had a player finish better than fourth in the Heisman voting, but now it appears to have a front-runner.

Richardson is the second Alabama running back to be a finalist in the past three years. Former teammate Mark Ingram won the Heisman in 2009.

designed scheme and they used it to near perfection. They limited their mistakes and didn’t give Goddard many free chances.

I won’t say that they played perfect, but they came darn close to it.

They converted third and fourth downs when they needed them and they took advantage of their opportunities in the red zone.

And I think that red-zone efficiency was the key to that game.

Aztec converted on all five of its opportunities from inside the 20.

Goddard failed once.

That was the difference.

Alabama (11-1) finished second in both the Harris and coaches’ polls by a wide enough margin to make up for the fact that Oklahoma State was ahead in the computer ratings.

The Cowboys (11-1), champions of the Big 12, will play in the Fiesta Bowl against Stanford from the Pac-12.

“We can’t control it,” Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden said. “But I know we had a heck of a year and we beat really good football teams in this conference and we’re conference champions, so we did everything that we could.”

The other BCS matchups are: — Michigan vs. Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl; — Clemson vs. West Virginia in the Orange Bowl;

Goddard had another outstanding year and the members of the team have no reason to hang their heads despite the bitter pill at the end.

Gridiron King

I’ve asked for reader feedback for the past two weeks about who should win the Roswell Daily Record’s Gridiron King award and I will ask for it one more time.

The top two candidates are Goddard’s David Anaya and Gateway Christian’s Mason Miller.

Anaya turned in another 200plus yard per for mance in the state championship game on Saturday and passed Fort Sumner’s Lance Fikany as the state’s second all-time leading rusher.

Miller led Gateway in every major statistical category, including rushing yards, passing yards,

No BCS busters made it into the big-money games for the first time since the 2005 season, teams such as Boise State, TCU and Houston, which had a chance but lost in the Conference USA championship on Saturday to Southern Mississippi. The Cougars will now play Penn State, which dropped to the Ticket City Bowl in Dallas following the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal that has overshadowed the Nittany Lions’ season.

As the power -brokers in college football begin to plot how top-tier bowls will be set up in the future, the 2011 season is once more exposing the flaws in the current system.

total offense and scoring.

The argument mostly comes down to one point.

What does Most Valuable Player mean?

Is it the player who is most valuable to his team or is it the player who is most valuable overall?

Miller probably wins the argument if it is the former, but Anaya probably wins the argument if it is the latter.

Looking ahead

Obviously, it is extremely difficult to forecast what any of the area’s teams are going to look like next year, but let’s try it anyway.

Dexter — The Demons were extremely young this season and that should bode well for them next year. They should be in a good position to be more competitive than they were the past two

ings — the formulas of which are not even publicly known — doing the choosing.

Alabama, with the nation’s No. 1 defense, won out and will play for its second BCS crown in three years.

Oklahoma State, with one of the most potent offenses in the country, gets its first BCS appearance as a consolation prize.

“We wanted the opportunity to settle the debate that has gone all year about the offense in the Big 12 and the defense in the SEC,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said on ESPN. Alabama claims 13 national championships overall and is one of the most decorated programs in the land. It’s won seven AP titles since the wire service started its poll in 1936.

LSU will be seeking its third BCS championship since 2003 at the Superdome — the site of its first two.

Roswell Daily Record years. I don’t think a district title is out of the question.

Gateway Christian — This one has me stymied. At the beginning of this season, the talk was that Gateway was too young and inexperienced to be a serious contender. Clearly, that wasn’t true.

Replacing the likes of a Mason Miller will be difficult, though.

Goddard — I had someone tell me that they thought Goddard’s run of being a state contender of ficially ended on Saturday.

Nothing could be further from the truth. And I only need to say two words to prove my point; Sam Jernigan. The Rockets will be just fine.

Hagerman — Like their Highway 2 rivals, the Bobcats were extremely young this season. And they were learning a completely new system under Casey Crandall. I like the new system and I think the Bobcats have the athletes to be able to use it to their

consin and needs one more to match Barry Sanders’ NCAA record.

Mathieu, the LSU defensive back nicknamed “Honey Badger,” has made numerous game-changing plays for the top-ranked Tigers.

The field was deep this season and several deserving players didn’t make the cut. Most notable, Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, a finalist last season, Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley and Houston’s record-breaking passer, Case Keenum, did not receive enough votes to be among the final five.

Ballots from the 926 voters, mostly media members and former winners, were due Monday evening.

Luck was the Heisman runner -up to Auburn’s Cam Newton last year and passed up a chance to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft to return to Stanford

Auto Racing Busch, Penske part ways

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kurt Busch and Penske Racing parted ways Monday after six bumpy seasons, a split that clouds the former champion’s future in NASCAR as he embarks on a personal journey to reclaim his passion for racing.

Both the team and driver said ending the relationship was a “mutual agreement,” but most believe Busch was fired in the fallout of yet another embarrassing incident. A fan caught Busch on video verbally abusing an ESPN reporter during last month’s season finale, and Busch was fined $50,000 by NASCAR after the clip was posted on YouTube.

Busch, though, was insistent leaving Penske is probably the best thing for him personally and seemed at peace during an interview with The Associated Press.

“What’s troublesome is this five letter ‘f-i-re-d’ word is being used, but it’s obvious to me

into the disease.

Williams was on the line when Santo’s widow, Vicki, got the congratulatory phone call.

“Ron has passed, but it was always his dream, to even have this come to him after his passing. It just shows you can’t give up,” she said during a conference call from Arizona.

“All he said (was) I hope I get in in my lifetime, that’s certainly a reasonable request for anybody who gets an honor as special as this one. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be,” she said. “With his lifetime every disappoint-

that looking back, I was very unhappy over the second half of the season,” Busch told the AP. “I need to put the fun back into racing for me. I want to be a better driver and a better person. Today is the day that begins. I take a deep breath, I smile, and I move forward from here.”

Busch admitted last week during activities surrounding the season-ending awards ceremony that he began seeing a sports psychologist about two weeks ago to address what he called “personal issues.”

Said daughter Linda Brown: “I know, even if my dad were here today, he would never reflect on any of the wrongdoings, so to speak. ... There would be no bitterness, it would just be him being happy, and I believe he is.”

Lake Arthur — This may be the easiest of them all to forecast.

The Panthers return nearly all their key contributors from a state championship team. It’s possible that we saw the beginning of a dynasty this season.

NMMI — This is the hardest to forecast because of the constant turnover from one year to the next. Fortunately for the Colts, they have one of the best young coaches in the state in Randy Montoya.

Roswell — This is another one that has me stymied. The Coyotes lose a bunch and they didn’t get many opportunities to let the young kids play. They will be inexperienced next year, but, as we saw with Gateway this year, that doesn’t necessarily mean an unsuccessful season. kjkeller@rdrnews.com

for his junior season. From the moment he made the decision to stay in school in January, he became the odds-on favorite to win the big bronze statue this season.

He had another stellar season, passing for 3,170 yards with 35 touchdowns while leading the Cardinal to an 11-1 record and a second straight BCS bid.

But the competition has been so fierce that it’s been tough for Luck to hold onto his front-runner status.

In fact, at least one prognosticator now has Griffin as the most likely winner.

Heismanpundit.com, which has successfully predicted the past four winners with a straw poll of 13 voters, had Griffin as its top vote-getter on Monday. Luck was second and Richardson third.

The quarterback called RG3 by Baylor fans leads the nation in passer rating (192.3), with 3,998 yards and 36 touchdowns.

“With Ernie, myself and Fergie, those players he played with ... to hear this kind of news today that he’s inducted in the baseball Hall of Fame is really gratifying because so many times that we talked about it, it’s a place he wanted to be,” Williams said.

Santo will be inducted into Cooperstown on July 22, along with any players elected by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Jan. 9.

Ber nie Williams joins Jack Morris, Barry Larkin and others on that ballot.

Richardson has been the unquestioned offensive engine for No. 2 Alabama.

He’s fifth in the nation in rushing at 131.9 yards per game and tied for fifth in touchdowns with 23.

Ball has been a touchdown machine for Wisconsin and ranks fourth in rushing at 135.3 yards per game.

Rodgers drives Packers to 38-35 win over Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Green Bay proved it can win the close ones, too.

In case anyone wondered how the perfect Packers would react if they found themselves in a tight game, they made it look easy Sunday in a 38-35 victory over the New York Giants.

Aaron Rodgers got the ball back with the score tied 35-all and less than a minute to go. He completed passes of 24, 27 and 18 yards in a crisp five-play drive to set up a 31yard field goal by Mason Crosby on the final snap.

The defending Super Bowl champions (120) won their 18th straight game and clinched a playoff berth. The Packers clinched the NFC North when Detroit lost to New Orleans.

“It was a huge drive,” said receiver Greg Jennings. “We haven’t had one like that at the end in a while. It was very quiet in the huddle, actually. You could see everybody was focused. It’s great to see what we could do at the end like that.”

Rodgers completed all four of his passes in the 58-second drive that sent the Giants (66) to their fourth straight loss. It started with a 24-yard laser to tight end Jermichael Finley just over the hands of rookie linebacker Jacquian Williams.

The second one covered 24 yards to Jordy Nelson down the left sideline and moved the ball to the New York 29. An 18-yard pass to Jennings two plays later moved the ball to the 12.

Rodgers, harassed by the Giants’ front four and sacked three times, finished 28 of 46 for 369 yards and four touchdowns.

The Giants tied it on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Hakeem Nicks and a 2-point conversion run by D.J. Ware on Manning’s audible with just under a minute to play.

For the Giants, everything wasn’t terrible.

Dallas also lost, leaving New York a game behind the Cowboys with four to go. The teams will play twice over that span.

BRONCOS 35, VIKINGS 32 At Minneapolis, Tim Tebow led yet another late rally, passing for a season-best 202 yards and two third-quarter touchdowns to help the Denver Broncos win their fifth straight game.

Matt Prater kicked two field goals in the final 93 seconds for the Broncos (7-5), who moved into a first-place tie in the AFC West with a loss by the Oakland Raiders. Christian Ponder set Minnesota’s single-game rookie record with 381 yards passing, including a pair of touchdowns to Percy Harvin, but his sideline throw with 1:33 remaining was intercepted by Andre Goodman to set up the winner.

Harvin had a career-high 156 yards for the Vikings (2-10), who lost their fourth in a row.

Demaryius Thomas caught four passes for 144 yards and both touchdowns for the Broncos, who raised their record to 6-1 since Tebow took over for Kyle Orton as the starter.

Tebow completed 10 of 15 passes.

year behind a 28-point explosion in the second quarter fueled by Roethlisberger, running back Rashard Mendenhall and a 60yard punt return for a score by Antonio Brown.

Mendenhall and wide receiver Mike Wallace scored two touchdowns for the Steelers, who won for the seventh time in their last eight games.

Cincinnati rookie quarterback Andy Dalton threw for 124 yards and a touchdown to A.J. Green, but the Bengals couldn’t overcome two turnovers and a handful of specialteams gaffes to all but end their hopes of winning the AFC North.

CARDINALS 19, COWBOYS 13, OT At Glendale, Ariz., LaRod Stephens-Howling caught a short pass from Kevin Kolb and zipped 52 yards for a touchdown in overtime, snapping the Cowboys’ four-game winning streak.

It marked the third time since 2008 that the Cowboys have lost in Arizona in excruciating fashion.

Stephens-Howling dodged a host of wouldbe Cowboys tacklers to scamper in with the score. Kolb completed 16 of 25 for 247 yards in his first game in five weeks.

Tony Romo was 28 for 42 for 299 yards for the Cowboys.

Dan Bailey missed a 49-yard field goal at the end of regulation that would have won it for Dallas. He also missed a 53-yarder. The rookie kicker came into the game with one miss all season.

TEXANS 17, FALCONS 10 At Houston, rookie T.J. Yates threw a touchdown pass in his first NFL start, Arian Foster rushed for 111 yards and Houston overcame another hamstring injury to Andre Johnson.

The Texans (9-3) have won a franchiserecord six straight games, a remarkable feat considering they’re down to their third-string quarterback and have played the bulk of their streak without their star receiver. Johnson left in the third quarter after hurting his left hamstring. He injured his right hamstring in Week 4 and sat out six games.

The Falcons (7-5) sputtered offensively much of the day and lost for the second time in seven games. Houston’s top-ranked defense knocked down two Matt Ryan passes in the end zone in the closing seconds.

STEELERS 35, BENGALS 7 At Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger passed for two touchdowns and set a team record for career completions against error-prone Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh (9-3) swept the season series from Cincinnati (7-5) for the second straight

49ERS 26, RAMS 0 At San Francisco, Frank Gore ran San Francisco right into the playoffs, becoming the 49ers’ career rushing leader in a shutout that wrapped up the franchise’s first NFC West crown and postseason berth since 2002.

Alex Smith threw second-half touchdowns of 52 and 56 yards to Michael Crabtree and Kyle Williams, and David Akers kicked four field goals for San Francisco (10-2) as coach Jim Harbaugh joined George Seifert (1989) and Steve Mariucci (1997) as the only rookie coaches in 49ers history to win the division.

The only downer came when star linebacker Patrick Willis left the game in the first half with a right hamstring injury.

Rams quarterback A.J. Feeley struggled in place of injured starter Sam Bradford for the reeling Rams (2-10).

PATRIOTS 31, COLTS 24 At Foxborough, Mass., Rob Gronkowski caught two touchdown passes then scored on a lateral and New England then withstood a fourth-quarter rally to keep Indianapolis winless.

Trailing 31-3, the Colts rallied with a touchdown run by Donald Brown and two scoring passes from Dan Orlovsky to Pierre Garcon, the last a 40-yarder with 36 seconds to go. But Deion Branch recovered the onside kick and Tom Brady took a knee on the final play.

The Patriots (9-3) posted their fourth straight win and improved to 38-5 in December dating to 2001. The Colts (0-12) must beat Baltimore, Tennessee, Houston or Jacksonville to avoid a winless season.

DOLPHINS 34, RAIDERS 14 At Miami, Reggie Bush rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown and once-woeful Miami won for the fourth time in the past five games.

Matt Moore had a hand in two TDs for Miami, and Kevin Burnett returned an interception 34 yards for a score.

The surge by the Dolphins (4-8) comes after they lost their first seven games. In the past five games they’ve outscored opponents 139-54, with the lone loss a one-point defeat at Dallas on Thanksgiving.

For the Raiders (7-5), who began the day leading the AFC West, the drubbing ended a three-game winning streak. They fell to 6-25 in regular-season games in the Eastern Time Zone since December 2002.

TITANS 23, BILLS 17 At Orchard Park, N.Y., Chris Johnson rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns as Tennessee remained in the playoff chase.

Johnson scored on runs of 48 and 4 yards to match his season touchdown total. It was his third 100-yard rushing game in four outings.

Rob Bironas did the rest, hitting three field goals, including a 44-yarder midway through the fourth quarter to put the Titans (7-5) ahead 23-10.

C.J. Spiller had a career-best 83 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Bills (5-7), who continue to spiral out of playoff contention after losing their fifth straight. Stevie Johnson made the game close with a 2-yard touchdown catch with 2:58 left.

SAINTS 31, LIONS 17 At New Orleans, Drew Brees passed for 342 yards and three touchdowns, and the New Orleans Saints won their fourth straight.

Brees’ performance gave him 4,031 yards on the season, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to eclipse the 4,000-yard mark in the first 12 games of a season.

His touchdown passes went for 67 yards to Robert Meachem, 20 yards to Lance Moore and 6 yards to Darren Sproles. He also connected eight times with tight end Jimmy Graham for 89 yards as the Saints (9-3) improved to 6-0 at home.

Matthew Stafford passed for 408 yards and one touchdown for the Lions (7-5), who have lost five of their last seven, but remain in playoff contention.

Roswell Daily Record

CHIEFS 10, BEARS 3 At Chicago, Tyler Palko shook off two miserable starts and threw for 157 yards and a touchdown even though he was briefly lifted for Kyle Orton.

Orton came on to start the second quarter and immediately left the game with an injured finger on his right hand. Palko connected with Dexter McCluster on a wild 38yard pass to end the first half on a ball that got deflected by Brian Urlacher and Chris Conte, giving the Chiefs a 7-3 lead and their first touchdown in three games.

Kansas City (5-7) got a 21-yard field goal from Ryan Succop in the third quarter, and Jon McGraw intercepted struggling backup Caleb Hanie in the end zone in the fourth.

The Chiefs also recorded seven sacks — three by Justin Houston.

Chicago (7-5) played most of the game without running back Matt Forte, who injured his right knee.

JETS 34, REDSKINS 19 At Landover, Md., Mark Sanchez hit Santonio Holmes for a 30-yard touchdown pass with 4:49 to play, and Shonn Greene added a pair of insurance scores.

It was Sanchez’s 10th career fourth-quarter comeback or overtime victory, including playoffs, and his second in as many weeks.

The win improves the Jets to 7-5 and keeps them in the hunt for an AFC playoff berth.

New York played another mistake-filled game and had only 168 total yards after three quarters. They trailed 16-13 after Washington’s Graham Gano made his third field goal with 7:52 remaining.

The Redskins fell to 4-8. They have lost seven of eight.

RAVENS 24, BROWNS 10 At Cleveland, Ray Rice rushed for a careerhigh 204 yards, breaking loose on a gamechanging 67-yarder in the third quarter, and the Ravens kept pace with Pittsburgh atop the AFC North.

Rice and Ricky Williams had short touchdown runs and Lardarius Webb returned a punt 68 yards for a TD for the Ravens (9-3), who toyed with the Browns (4-8). Baltimore racked up 290 yards rushing.

The Ravens turned to Rice on a blustery, rainy day, when Joe Flacco had trouble throwing and kicker Billy Cundiff missed a pair of field goal attempts.

Cleveland lost for the fifth time in six games, and the Browns have just three days to prepare for the Steelers.

With the Ravens leading 10-3 in the third, Rice got loose on his longest run as a pro.

PANTHERS 38, BUCCANEERS 19 At Tampa, Fla., Cam Newton ran for three touchdowns to set the NFL single-season record for rushing TDs by a quarterback.

The 2010 Heisman Trophy winner scored the 11th, 12th and 13th TDs of his career on a trio of 1-yard runs. The rookie also had a reception to set up a touchdown and threw a pass to Legedu Naanee to finish one of Carolina’s three scoring drives of 80-plus yards.

The Panthers (4-8) have doubled their victory total for last season. Tampa Bay (4-8) has lost six straight and seven of eight following a 3-1 start.

should provide a few rows of larger seats to accommodate them.

Airlines have sacrificed comfort for economy to the point that the seats are simply too small. I’m an average-size woman, but I find the seats are barely large enough.

They’re crowded so close together you can’t move your legs, and they don’t actually recline. I agree with your advice to speak up if you find yourself being squeezed.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: This letter is to offer sympathy to “Trish in Louisiana” (Sept. 25), who was seated next to two large passengers on a three-hour flight.

It has happened to me.

The airlines control the size and weight of baggage, whether it’s checked or carry-on, and charge when it’s overweight. So why do they turn a blind eye when it comes to passengers who must endure being crowded out of the seats we have paid for? If airlines aren’t willing to screen passengers for size, perhaps they

DEAR ELLEN: While your letter reflects the views of many readers, they ALL emphatically agree that airlines need to do a better job of customer service regarding the seating on passenger planes. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: As America grows larger, airline seats grow smaller. Trish was right to be compassionate. If airlines treat large people (who are also paying customers) like dirt so they can turn a profit by squeezing pas-

sengers into every inch of space, they are WRONG. There are ways to be creative and not humiliate anyone. The flight attendant could have moved a child to her seat with Mom across the aisle.

I recommend that flight attendants think along those lines, because having a gate attendant drag people off flights is not the best way to handle this and should only be a last resort. We’re all customers, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity.

MARY IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. ##### DEAR ABBY: The fault lies with airline management. They should specify up front in their ad campaigns that if the passengers’ dimensions exceed certain parameters, they must buy two tickets.

DEAR ABBY: My heart goes out to all three. I am a plus-size woman and my husband is “normal” size. His field is marketing, and I showed him your letter. He said recent surveys have shown that onethird of people who refuse to fly do so because of the tight seating, and not fear of an accident. Airlines pack people in like sardines to make more money, and it is resented.

I quit flying years ago because of claustrophobia. If I had to fly now, I’d buy a first-class ticket. I wonder why the planes don’t have six or eight seats in the back of coach that are larger and cost more money, but less than first class.

Something has to be done to make flying safer and more comfortable for everyone. Surely we have the intellectual capacity to solve these problems.

Dear Heloise: I keep a strip of my ADDRESS LABELS in my wallet, then I just stick one of those on all the forms where they ask for your name and home address.

This saves me so much time and aggravation when at the doctor’s or dentist’s office for my children, for school and camp forms, work, insurance — you name it.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: Does just plain baking soda work on cat litter? The deodorizer is so expensive! We were brought up to save whenever we could.

Ellen in Pennsylvania

Baking soda is a good choice to deodorize the litter box! Cats may not like a commercial deodorizer’s scent, and they might stop using the box! Don’t want that to happen!

Thinly spread a layer of baking soda in a clean litter box, followed by your regular cat litter.

This will help keep odors down and is very cost-effective. Cleaning the box frequently is important. But if your cat balks at using the litter box, go back to what you were using.

Baking soda is one of my favorite household helpers and a natural deodorizer. But did you know that baking soda can be used around the house in so many ways and areas? I have a collection of my favorite moneysaving and green uses for baking soda. If you would like to receive a pamphlet, send just $5, along with a long, self-addressed, stamped (64 cents) envelope, to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Remove lingering onion odor from your hands by rubbing some baking soda between your damp hands, then rinse in warm water.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: My friends and I like to exchange gifts during the holidays. With a bunch of us, it can get expensive. Now, whenever we go to the store, I try to get a couple of little items at a time.

Then when the holidays come around, I make little gift bags for my friends filled with the things I have found throughout the year.

It is easier to buy a little at a time, and my friends love the gifts!

Dear Heloise: I love to place a wreath on my door during the holidays. However, I am always finding leaves and flowers that have been blown off by the wind or the motion of the door.

Last year, I placed a fine hairnet over the wreath. It lasted longer because the hairnet kept the decorations in place.

Roswell Daily Record

Planet in sweet spot of Goldilocks zone for life WASHINGTON (AP) — A newly discovered planet is eerily similar to Earth and is sitting outside our solar system in what seems to be the ideal place for life, except for one hitch. It’s a bit too big.

The planet is smack in the middle of what astronomers call the Goldilocks zone, that hard to find place that’s not too hot, not too cold, where water, which is essential for life, doesn’t freeze or boil. And it has a shopping mall-like surface temperature of near 72 degrees, scientists say.

The planet’s confirmation was announced Monday by NASA along with other discoveries by its Kepler telescope, which was launched on a planet-hunting mission in 2009.

That’s the first planet confirmed in the habitable zone for Kepler, which had already found Earth-like rocky planets elsewhere. Twice before astronomers have announced a planet found in that zone, but neither have been as promising.

“This is a phenomenal discovery in the course of human history,” Geof f Marcy of University of California, Berkeley, one of the pioneers of planethunting outside our solar system, said in an email.

“This discovery shows that we Homo sapiens are straining our reach into the universe to find planets that remind us of home. We are almost there.”

The new planet — named Kepler-22b — has key aspects it shares with Earth. It circles a star that could be the twin of our sun and at just about the same distance. The planet’s year of 290 days is even close to ours. It likely has water and rock.

The only trouble is the planet’s a bit big for life to exist on the surface. The

planet is about 2.4 times the size of Earth. It could be more like the gas-andliquid Neptune with only a rocky core and mostly ocean.

Floating on that “world completely covered in water” could be like being on an Earth ocean and “it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that life could exist in such an ocean,” Batalha said in a phone interview.

Kepler can’t find life itself, just where the conditions might be right for it to thrive. And when astronomers look for life elsewhere they’re talking about everything ranging from microbes to advanced intelligence that can be looking back at us.

So far the Kepler telescope has spotted 2,326 candidate planets outside our solar system with 139 of them potentially habitable ones. Even though the confirmed Kepler-22b is a bit big, it is still smaller than most of the other candidates. It is closest to Earth in size, temperature and star than either of the two previously announced planets in the zone.

The confirmation of one of two, though, has been disputed. The latest discovery has been confir med several ways, including by two other

telescopes.

Earlier this year, a European team of astronomers said they had confirmed another planet in the habitable zone, but that one was hot and barely on the inside edge of the habitable zone.

Chief Kepler scientist William Borucki said he thinks the planet is somewhere between Earth and gas-and-liquid Neptune, but that it has a lot of rocky material. It’s in a size range that scientists don’t really know anything about. Measurements next summer may help astronomers have a better idea of its makeup, he said.

The planet is 600 light years away. Each light year is 5.9 trillion miles.

It would take a space shuttle about 22 million years to get there.

Kepler spots a planet when it passes in front of its star. NASA requires three of those sightings before it begins to confirm it as a planet. Borucki said the third sighting for 22b happened a year ago, just before the telescope shut down for a while. It took several months to finish the confirmation.

“It’s a great gift,” Borucki said. “We consider this sort of our Christmas planet.”
