Obama lobbies GOP senators to back pact

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama tried to sway reluctant Republican senators on Monday to back a new arms control treaty with Russia as GOP aversion to giving a politically damaged president another victory intruded on his national security agenda.

WINTER TRAVEL TROUBLES

December 21, 2010

The White House and senior Democrats expressed confidence that they had the votes for the accord that was signed by Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in April. The two countries negotiated the New STAR T pact to cap nuclear weapons and restart weapons inspections in the spirit of U.S. efforts to reset the relationship between the former

Cold War foes.

Proponents edged closer to getting the two-thirds vote they needed for ratification as Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts announced he would support the treaty. In recent days, Brown had received a call from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who also heard from Clinton, sent the strongest signal yet that he would support ratification.

Treaty backers also were heartened as several Republicans broke ranks, voting against three GOP amendments that would have effectively killed the treaty. With the help of eight Republicans,

Democrats beat back an amendment to increase the number of weapons inspectors on a 64-33 vote. They also rejected a measure to change the accord and increase the number of deployed launchers on a 64-33 vote. An ef fort to change the treaty to include tactical nuclear weapons also failed, 62-35.

Obama, who delayed his holiday vacation, lobbied senators by phone as he pressed to complete the treaty before January when Republicans increase their numbers by five in the Senate, casting the accord’s fate in doubt. Vice President Joe Biden and Clinton also called lawmakers to push for

ratification.

Bolstering Obama’s argument for quick action, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a letter to lawmakers reiterating support for the accord.

“This treaty enhances our ability to do that which we in the military have been charged to do: Protect and defend the citizens of the United States. I am confident in its success as I am in its safeguards.

The sooner it is ratified, the better,” Mullen wrote.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, left, talks with Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin before a Cabinet meeting at the presidential Blue House in Seoul, South Korea on Tuesday.

SKorean troops bracing for possible NKorean attack YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea (AP) — South Korean President Lee Myungbak gathered his national security leaders for strategic talks Tuesday as troops braced for possible North Korean retaliation a day after conducting artillery drills on an island the North bombed last month.

North Korea has so far backed of f threats to strike the South again for conducting live-fire military drills on Yeonpyeong Island. Similar drills last month triggered a North Korean artillery attack that killed four South Koreans, including two civilians.

Still, South Korea’s military said it was prepared for any unexpect-

ed North Korean provocation.

“We will mobilize reconnaissance and surveillance assets of South Korea and the U.S. combined force and intensively monitor North Korea’s military activities,” Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin told lawmakers before leaving for the security meeting.

Meanwhile, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson praised North Korea’s “statesmanlike” restraint as he wrapped up a fourday trip to North Korea.

Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who has served as an unofficial envoy to North Korea in the past, told Associated Press Television News in See KOREA, Page A6

A Roswell woman finds herself reliving a nightmare, after attempting to do a good deed.

Tammy Coleman saw her neighbor’s dogs running at large. The dogs, pit bull and heeler mix, had escaped from a window in the neighbor’s house, on Dec. 14.

She was trying to coax the dogs back to the yard when she was attacked. The ferocity of the attack caused seizures.

Coleman’s husband, Dale, ran out to rescue her.

Tammy Coleman received wounds on both legs, her back and her stomach. She received 15 stitches.

However, most of the wounds were so deep that they had to be left open to drain, said animal control officer David Allen, who was called out to capture the dog.

Municipal Court Judge Larry Loy ruled that the dogs could be returned to their owner, Gerry Dwayne Hamilton, once he provided proof that he had obtained tags, had a kennel which would prevent escape, and the dogs had received rabies shots.

“Every morning at 3 o’clock, as regular as clockwork, she wakes up screaming to get the dogs off her,” Dale Coleman said.

Allen explained that it took members of the Roswell Police and Fire departments and Animal Control to capture the dogs.

Arrest yields case of child, animal neglect JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The Roswell Police Department received a surprise when officers served an arrest warrant on Micheal Dees, 18, for burglary on Friday.

According to the police report, the house in the 400 block of East Jefferson stank of urine and feces and was filled with flies.

RPD also found one dead puppy inside a dog house and one dead dog.

Animal Control was called in to confiscate eight cats, six rats and a rabbit.

Two children, ages 8 and 10, were living in the household, according to the police.

The 10-year -old said they had a “poisonous lizard” who had managed to escape into a hole in the side of the house.

The dogs were suffering from Parvo virus, which af fects dogs by attacking the animal’s white blood cells, intestinal tract and heart muscles.

They brought in the receipts to show that they had the animals treated, said Joseph Pacheco, supervisor at Roswell Animal Services.

“It’s a case of animal hoarding, with people who can’t afford to take care of their children, much less pets,” said David Allen, the animal control officer who was called in on the case.

RPD told the mother of the children that she would have to take them to a motel to stay until the house has been cleaned.

The animals will also be returned to the family as soon as the conditions are fit, of ficials said.

Dees had been caught on surveillance video during a burglary on West 19th Street.

The victim reported that he had taken some $800 in cash and some jewelry.

Dees was for merly employed in the kennels at Animal Control. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

Winter travels turn bitter, chaotic

LONDON (AP) — The Christmas travel season turned angry and chaotic Monday as British officials struggled to clear snow and ice that paralyzed rail and air links and spawned cancellations and delays stranding thousands around the world.

More than 48 hours after Britain’s last snowfall, some furious passengers with boarding passes for Monday flights were not even allowed into London’s Heathrow Airport. Inside, piles of garbage grew and some people slept on terminal floors.

Other travelers waited in the cold for up to six hours to get inside London’s St. Pancras train station, where they had to wait still longer for Eurostar trains to mainland Europe.

Chagrined British officials promised an inquiry into the failure to clear the remnants of a storm that dumped five inches over parts of England Saturday morning. Other European airports rebounded from weekend snowfall and resumed close to normal flight schedules by Monday.

“It can’t be beyond the wit of man surely to find the shovels, the diggers, the snowplows or whatever it takes to clear the snow out from under the planes, to get the planes moving and to have more than one runway going,” London Mayor Boris Johnson said as British Airways canceled its Monday short-haul schedule from Heathrow.

Forecasters have said Britain is experiencing some of the most severe winter weather in a century, with continued freezing temperatures and snowfall accumulations expected Monday after noon and evening. Experts said the extreme winter weather may be related to climate change due to global warming. With a warmer climate, there’s more moisture in the air, which makes storms including blizzards

Rail passengers wait for Eurostar trains at St. Pancras Station in London, Monday, as the Eurostar cross channel train operator said services were being canceled or severely delayed due to speed restrictions in England and France caused by snow and freezing temperatures. more intense.

Heathrow operator BAA said swings in temperature after the five-inch snowfall in one hour Saturday led to extensive ice buildup around aircraft on the ground. BAA said “every available” staff member and several hundred additional contractors were trying to get the airport moving again.

But BAA of fered little hope of relief from travel purgatory, saying a maximum one-third of scheduled flights would be allowed to take off and land at Heathrow until at least 6 a.m. (0600 GMT, 1 a.m.

EST) Wednesday. The British gover nment approved night-flight operations at Heathrow in an effort to remove the backlog, but officials warned it may take until after Christmas to do so — and longer if more snow falls.

The capital’s smaller airport, Gatwick, announced late Monday that there will be no outbound flights

until Tuesday mor ning because more snow is expected.

At Heathrow’s sprawling Terminal 5, tired and disgruntled passengers faced lengthy waits without much information as piles of garbage grew throughout the complex.

“The whole situation is horrible,” said teenager Sophiya Bolkova, as she clutched her ticket home to Moscow after three days’ delay. “We are very angry.

People were just mean, rude, sleeping on the floor, babies sleeping on the floor, no information, no help, no money for hotels.”

American Suzie Devoe, 20, spent two nights on the airport floor and was desperately trying to get back to Washington for Christmas.

“I just want to get home, I want to be with my family.

But I’m being held in a horrible limbo,” the Bristol University student said.

At St. Pancras, hundreds of frustrated travelers hop-

ing to travel to France and Belgium by train stood in a line that wound through the station, around the outside of the huge building and several hundred yards (meters) down the road.

because Greaves sold and mailed his book directly to undercover deputies, who had written the author a letter requesting a copy.

Judd said Greaves even signed the book.

“I was outraged by the content,” Judd told The Associated Press. “It was clearly a manifesto on how to sexually batter children ... You just can’t believe how absolutely disgusting it was.”

The self-published book — “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover’s Code of Conduct” — caused a flap when it showed up on Amazon in November. The book was later removed

from the site.

Greaves, who has no criminal record, writes in the book that pedophiles are misunderstood, as the word literally means to love a child. He adds it is only a crime to act on sexual impulses toward children, and offers advice that purportedly allows pedophiles to abide by the law.

Judd said he was incensed when he heard about the book and that no one had arrested Greaves for selling it. The book, Judd said, included firstperson descriptions of sexual encounters, purportedly written from a child’s point of view.

“What’s wrong with a

society that has gotten to the point that we can’t arrest child pornographers and child molesters who write a book about how to rape a child?” said Judd, who keeps a Bible on his desk and is known throughout Florida as a crusader against child predators.

Many had been there for five hours or more, bundled up in parkas, scarves, gloves and hats against the chill, or clutching cups of tea and coffee from a Salvation Ar my van that had handed out 2,000 hot drinks since before dawn.

Train operator Eurostar broadcast loudspeaker announcements warning people not to travel unless their jour ney was “absolutely essential.”

Many said they were getting little other information.

A spokeswoman said the delay was due to safety reasons, as trains traveling at high speeds in icy conditions can be damaged, but she promised good service on Tuesday.

Author of pedophilia guide to face charges in Fla.

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado man who wrote a how-to guide for pedophiles was arrested Monday and sent to Florida to face obscenity charges, after deputies there ordered a copy of the book that has generated online outrage.

Officers arrested Phillip R. Greaves at his home in Pueblo on a warrant that charges him with violating Florida’s obscenity law.

During a brief court appearance, Greaves waived his right to fight extradition and was transferred to Polk County, Fla. The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department declined to release any details of Greaves’ transfer.

Polk County Sherif f Grady Judd said he claimed jurisdiction

We want to make you a loan!

Florida’ obscenity law — a third-degree felony — prohibits the “distribution of obscene material depicting minors engaged in conduct harmful to minors.”

Pueblo County sherif f’s spokeswoman Laurie Kilpatrick said Greaves would leave for Polk County later in the day.

US gas demand should fall for good; peak in ’06 Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — The world’s biggest gas-guzzling nation has limits after all.

After seven decades of mostly uninterrupted growth, U.S. gasoline demand is at the start of a long-term decline. By 2030, Americans will bur n at least 20 percent less gasoline than today, experts say, even as millions of more cars clog the roads.

The country’s thirst for gasoline is shrinking as cars and trucks become more fuel-efficient, the government mandates the use of more ethanol and people drive less.

“A combination of demographic change and policy change means the heady days of gasoline growing in the U.S. are over,” says Daniel Yergin, chairman of IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates and author of a Pulitzer Prizewinning history of the oil industry.

This isn’t the first time in U.S. history that gasoline demand has fallen, at least temporarily. Drivers typically cut back during recessions, then hit the road again when the economy picks up. Indeed, the Great Recession was the chief reason demand fell sharply in 2008.

But this time looks different. Gover nment and industry officials — including the CEO of Exxon Mobil — say U.S. gasoline demand has peaked for good. It has declined four years in a row and will not reach the 2006 level again, even when the economy fully recovers.

In fact, the ground was shifting before the recession. The 2001 terrorist attacks, the war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina and pump prices rising to a nationwide average of $3 a gallon for the first time in a

cent a year far into the future.

“Now you look and, wow, we’ve actually bent the curve,” says Roland Hwang, transportation director at the Natural Resources Defense Council.

There are scenarios that, while unlikely, could temporarily upend the longter m trend. If the U.S. economy booms and global oil prices fall, demand for gasoline could rise.

“Sometimes what we think is a structural shift is really just a temporary phase,” says Antoine Halff, an analyst at the brokerage fir m Newedge. “U.S. demand has rebounded with a vengeance before.”

In this Nov. 24 file photo, traffic moves north along Interstate 270, in Germantown, Md., the day before the Thanksgiving holiday. The country's thirst for gasoline is shrinking as cars and trucks become more fuel-efficient, the government mandates the use of more ethanol and people drive less.

generation reignited public debates about the political and economic effects of oil imports and climate change. Also, the popularity of SUVs began to wane, and the government started requiring refiners to blend cor n-based ethanol into every gallon of gasoline.

Americans are burning an average of 8.2 million barrels — 344 million gallons — of gasoline per day in 2010, a figure that excludes the ethanol blended into gasoline. That’s 8 percent less than at the 2006 peak, according to government data.

The decline is expected to accelerate for several reasons.

— Starting with the 2012 model year, cars will have to hit a higher fuel economy target for the first time since 1990. Each carmaker’s fleet must average 30.1 mpg, up from 27.5. By the

2016 model year, that number must rise to 35.5 mpg. And, starting next year, SUVs and minivans, once classified as trucks, will count toward passenger vehicle targets.

— The auto industry is introducing cars that run partially or entirely on electricity, and the federal government is providing billions of dollars in subsidies to increase production and spur sales.

— By 2022, the country’s fuel mix must include 36 billion gallons of ethanol and other biofuels, up from 14 billion gallons in 2011.

Put another way, biofuels will account for roughly one of every four gallons sold at the pump.

— Gasoline prices are forecast to stay high as developing economies in Asia and the Middle East use more oil.

There are demographic

factors at work, too. Baby boomers will drive less as they age. The surge of women entering the work force and commuting in recent decades has leveled off. And the era of Americans commuting ever farther distances appears to be over. One measure of this, vehicle miles traveled per licensed driver, began to flatten in the middle of the last decade after years of sharp growth.

“People wildly underestimate the effect that all this is going to have” on gasoline demand, says Paul Sankey, an analyst at Deutsche Bank. Sankey predicts by 2030 America will use just 5.4 million barrels a day, the same as in 1969. Aaron Brady, an analyst at CERA, predicts a more modest drop, to 6.6 million barrels a day.

As a result, families will spend less on fuel, the

country’s dependence on foreign oil will wane and heat-trapping emissions of carbon dioxide will grow more slowly.

The shift from SUVs began in 2004 and has saved Americans $15 billion on gasoline this year, according to the National Resources Defense Council.

By 2020, improved fuel economy is expected to lower annual carbon dioxide emissions by 400 billion pounds, the equivalent of taking 32 million cars off the road.

In reality, there will be 27 million more cars on the road — a total of 254 million — a decade from now, according to government projections.

Environmentalists are looking at the trend with a mixture of disbelief and delight. A decade ago they thought demand would continue to grow 1-2 per-

To be sure, America will continue to bur n more gasoline than any other country, in total and per capita, for decades to come.

China is second in total consumption, but, despite its explosive growth, still uses just half of what the U.S. uses. Canada is second in consumption per capita but is on its own path toward a more fuelefficient economy.

While America’s diminishing demand will temper global demand, it will be more than offset by rapidly growing demand in China, India, the Middle East and Africa. As a result, declining U.S. gasoline demand will not bring lower pump prices.

Worldwide oil demand will hit a record 88.3 million barrels per day next year, according to the consulting firm Wood Mackenzie.

Put simply, “we’re entering a period where the U.S. motorist is no longer the king of the road,” Yergin says.

Remains of famed balloonist Abruzzo now back in Albuquerque ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The body of famed balloonist Richard Abruzzo has arrived back in Albuquerque.

Abruzzo’s wife, Nancy, had gone to Italy for his body after his remains and those of balloonist Carol Rymer Davis and their gondola were discovered by an Italian fishing boat Dec. 6, two months after the ballooning champions disappeared while competing in the 54th Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race over the Adriatic Sea during a fierce storm.

Abruzzo’s body arrived at Albuquerque’s airport Saturday night.

Services are planned at 10:30 a.m.

Wednesday at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Albuquerque.

The Italian boat hauled in the balloon and its gondola with the bodies of the two Americans inside while fishing 11 miles north of Vieste, said Port Cmdr. Guido Limongelli.

He said documents found in the gondola confirmed the identities of Abruzzo, 47, Rymer Davis, 65, of Denver.

The pair had taken off with some 20 other balloons from the English city of Bristol on Sept. 25. Contact with Abruzzo and Rymer Davis was lost Sept. 29 over the Adriatic.

Search crews looked for them for a week before determining their craft had plunged toward the water at 50 mph and they likely didn’t survive.

Abruzzo was the son of famed balloonist Ben Abruzzo, who in 1981 was part of the first team to cross the Pacific Ocean by balloon. The elder Abruzzo was killed in a small airplane crash in 1985.

The younger Abruzzo and Davis won the 2004 edition of the Gordon Bennett race and the 2003 America’s Challenge gas race — one of Abruzzo’s five victories in that contest.

P e c a n farmers are reaping h i g h prices L A S CRUCES (AP) — Dona Ana C o u n t y pecan farmers are receiving the highest-ever price for the crop, with the in-shell, per-pound price pushing $3 in New Mexico.

The director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s statistical service in New Mexico, Jim Brueggen, says the previous record was an average price of $2.28 per in-shell pound, set in 2004.

New Mexico Department of Agriculture pecan marketing specialist James Ditmore says the record prices result of a couple of factors. He credits continued strong demand from China, combined with an overall low supply year and calls

it “a wonderful thing for the pecan growers in New Mexico.”

Grower Dick Salopek says he’s about 75 percent through the harv e s t .

Over the past year, the fund showed a net gain of $1.1 billion, which includes a net investment gain of $688 million during the quarter that ended in September.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — State investment officials say New Mexico’s educational retirement funds are up more than 13 percent over the past year.

The chief investment officer for the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board, Bob Jackshaw, calls it very good news.

He says the results through Sept. 30 are the product of smart investing and improving markets.

PORTALES (AP) — A 40-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder and another charge in the 1993 shooting death of a man in the eastern New Mexico community of Portales.

State District Judge Teddy Hartley sentenced Arnoldo Navarette on Friday to the maximum term.

Navarette was convicted in September of murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in the death of Reynaldo Ornelas Sr. Prosecutors alleged Navarette and a codefendant drove to a Portales home on May 30, 1993, and opened fire on Ornelas.

Portales police issued an arrest warrant for Navarette, but he fled after the shooting. He was arrested in Odessa, Texas, in June 2009 and admitted hiding out in Mexico, Colorado, and Texas during the past 17 years.

Forgiving Billy the Kid, remembering Roy Rogers

The Old West of Billy the Kid is still with us. And so is Hollywood’s Old West.

The governor has been entertaining the idea of a pardon for the Kid since 2003, and the Legislature considered a pardon before that. The descendents of Sheriff Pat Garrett, who killed the kid in 1881, have made their opposition clear.

In 2001 historian Bob Boze Bell and I took opposing positions on the question in side-by-side newspaper articles. Bell made a case for forgiveness; I argued that Billy was a rustler, horse thief and back shooter, not a misunderstood youth.

But, bless him, he’s been good for tourism.

As it happens, I just watched “Chisum,” starring John Wayne as the legendary New Mexico cattleman and partisan in the Lincoln County War. It’s one of many movies based on this color ful episode in the state’s history.

SHERRY ROBINSON

ALL SHE WROTE

Watch any of them and you start to see why the Kid doesn’t fade away.

In this movie, Billy, already a reputed killer, is befriended by rancher John Henry Tunstall and begins to turn his life around.

Tunstall’s death, at the hands of the opposing faction, sends the tormented Billy down the path of bloody revenge, while our hero, John Wayne-John Chisum, seeks justice.

The DVD’s Special Features brags about how the scriptwriter researched the events to achieve accuracy, but Hollywood’s idea of accuracy meant the film’s named

characters existed in real life but not necessarily their story. (Why he chose to make the neighboring reservation Comanche instead of Apache is beyond me.) Tunstall, Chisum and Billy (temporarily) were the white hats; Lawrence Murphy was the black hat.

In historic reality, there were no heroes, but in cinema, there are always good guys and bad guys. And as long as there’s a scripted Billy the Kid out there, we’ll keep wondering if we should forgive him.

Speaking of good guys and the cinema, we also learn that even though the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum, in Branson, Mo., closed at the end of 2009, a victim of declining visitation and the economy, their graying fans haven’t forgotten. Auctions of the museum’s collections and the stars’ belongings began last summer and will continue in 2011.

Trigger, frozen forever on his hind legs through the arts of taxi-

dermy, fetched $266,500 from a Nebraska cable TV network. One pair of Roy’s spurs — he never used spurs on Trigger — sold for $10,625. Trigger’s saddle and bridle brought $386,500. Dale’s horse Buttermilk raised a mere $25,000, but ol’ Bullet, the faithful German shepherd, was worth $35,000. Nellybelle, a Jeep, sold for $116,500.

The family and the auction house tried to place the famous stuffed stars with a museum, but shrunken museum budgets sent them to the auction block with other memorabilia.

Roy Rogers, the King of the Cowboys, was never a cowboy. He was, however, a king of licensing and merchandising. Dale Evans was his third wife; he was her fourth husband. But the union lasted, and the Bible used at their dinner table sold for $8,750.

In the powerful language of the cinema, they and their contemporaries (Gene Autry, Hopalong

Cassidy, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, among others) were all about doing the right thing, sticking up for the weak, prizing honesty above greed, and telling the truth — all with minimal bloodshed. (Typically they shot the gun out of the outlaw’s hand; an actual wound was a dot of ketchup on the shirt.) They taught lessons to their young viewers. What, we might ask, are kids learning from their video games?

So just as we had two Roys, we have two Billys — the real one of hard-to-forgive deeds and the cinema character who might be redeemed by the right mentor or a good woman. (Choose your cliché.) If the governor decides to pardon Billy, it’s most likely the movie Billy he’ll pardon and the movie Billy we’ll remember.

Bad times for middle class

No, it’s not just you.

Over the past two years, millions of Americans have been reeling from high joblessness and the collapsing housing bubble.

A comprehensive new analysis of economic data and attitude surveys released last week finds that 93 percent of Americans took a big financial hit over the last 18 months.

Researchers defined that hit as unemployment, a substantial income drop or large new expenses that most often were caused by medical costs or family obligations.

No, it’s not just the recession.

Over the past decade, median household income in St. Louis County, Mo., has dropped nearly two and one-half times the national average. It’s dropped by more than twice the national average in nearby Franklin County.

That occurred as unemployment rose and more than 100,000 manufacturing jobs across Missouri disappeared.

Over the past 30 years, middle-class families have faced greater insecurity as a result of what Yale University political science professor Jacob Hacker has dubbed the “Great Risk Shift.”

That loss of economic security is magnified by the erosion of defined-benefit plans, which makes retirement less secure. Another factor is the rise of “contract employees” who have no job security. That’s helped to create unprecedented year-to-year swings in family income.

The new analysis, prepared by Mr. Hacker and colleagues at Yale and Ohio State, found that 23 percent of American families experienced an income decline of at least 25 percent between 2008 and 2009. Other studies by Mr. Hacker have reported a growing income volatility over the previous 30 years.

Another factor: health insurance changes that shift a greater portion of medical costs onto working families. When serious illness strikes, that can be devastating. Unexpected medical expenses are a factor in about half of all personal bankruptcies.

“Economic insecurity has become the rule, not the exception, for many Americans — even in good times,” the new report concludes.

Changes that produced the decline neither were inevitable nor a necessary byproduct of economic freedom.

Many were the result of political decisions, such as deregulation of financial services by Republican and Democratic administrations.

The richest 20 percent of Americans today collect about half of the nation’s wage income and control about 84 percent of all forms of wealth.

Simply mentioning those facts provokes a Pavlovian response: “class warfare.”

It’s not class warfare to note that decisions made by both political parties benefited the wealthiest Americans while undermining millions of middle-class families.

“There is class warfare, all right,” billionaire investor Warren Buffett observed not long ago. “But it is my class, the rich class, that’s making war. And we’re winning.”

Building homes for the holidays

When the earth shook in Haiti and Chile earlier this year, hundreds of thousands of people lost their homes.

Survivors took to the streets and waited in desperation for some kind of help. While gover nment bureaucracies fought over who was going to get what and when, a team of young volunteers based in Santiago, Chile, jumped into action.

Graphic novels expand on classic Henson movies Roswell Daily Record

LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

Good tidings of joy, love and happiness to each of you in this season of (hopefully) peace and goodwill. The Roswell Public Library will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and will reopen on Sunday at 2 p.m. The book drop will close at 6 p.m. on Thursday and reopen at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Take time during this busy season to enjoy some personal time.

Book Talk

Graphic novels have been described as a blend of comics, social criticism and personal reflection. They may include serious, full-length, sequential art novels that are often not novels, but nonfiction.

Robert Briggs, circulation supervisor, investigates graphic novels based on the imaginative world of Jim Henson’s movies “The Dark Crystal” and “Labyrinth.” Both films realistically portrayed monsters, goblins, fairies and a variety of unique monsters through puppetry. Those who remember Henson’s films fondly will find graphic novel series that make great companions to the movies with artwork influenced more by Japanese manga than western comics. Both novels contain art-

Tumbleweeds

Dear Editor: Over this past weekend there were several re-runs of the old John Wayne movie “Chisum,” which purported to portray the life of one of Roswell’s more famous city “fathers.”

It was a forgettable movie, probably because it caught none of the true character of John Chisum. Additionally, there was at least one scene that certainly could not have happened. It involved a prairie area replete with blowing dust and tumbling tumbleweeds. There-in lies the error. There were no tumbleweeds in our area at the time of John Chisum and the great cattle drives.

The tumbleweed was introduced to the United States in the early 1880s, probably in a bag of flax-seed, a Russian thistle brought into the Dakota Territory by immigrants from Russia. The spread of the weed was quite slow at first so that it was well after the turn of the century before the pest reached our southern plains.

So the next “western” you see on film or television with cowboys dodging tumbleweeds or the pesky critters rolling down the streets of a ghost town, you’ll know it just wasn’t so. That’s kind of a

Symptoms include weight loss, bloating, nausea, vomiting, frequent burping and an ache or burning pain in the abdomen. Complications include ulcers of the stomach and small intestine, stomach cancer and inflammation of the stomach lining.

Treatment consists of antibiotics and medications to reduce stomach acid.

Further testing to determine whether the infection has been eradicated may be recommended.

Food sensitivities are food allergies.

The different names come into play because allergies conjure up thoughts of hives, rashes, swollen throats and tongues, and classic allergic reactions.

Sensitivities, on the other hand, are often associated with other symptoms, such as gas, bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea and more. Again, these

“Legends of the Dark Crystal” is a twopart graphic novel series, “The Garthim Wars” and “T rial By Fire” by Barbara Kesel and Heidi Arnhold. The books are prequels that detail events that take place before the film. Lahr and Neffi travel to the crystal castle to rescue their friends and family, encountering the Collector Skeksis and others. With the Lord Chamberlain’s secret assistance, the Gelflings escape, but Lahr must agree to a terrible price.

However, he doesn’t realize what this truly means until he is lured back into the labyrinth,

at home, Un Techo began to expand, and today its volunteers help build homes in 18 Latin American countries.

The transitional homes are made of wood or aluminum, and are designed to be low-cost, easy to construct and mobile. A typical house is 200 square feet in size and costs around $1,500 to complete. When possible, the beneficiary family contributes 10 percent of the cost, which creates a sense of empowerment.

These homes are built in two days by a team of eight to 10 volunteers working alongside the family.

The Un Techo organization has found that the families who have been provided with transitional shelter have seen positive long-ter m ef fects such as reduced illness, better security and a place to study, which often prevents children from dropping out of school.

decision of which families to build for is based on a list of factors.

Mass., read parts of Mullen’s letter at the closed briefing.

Despite the letter, several conservative Republicans insist the treaty would restrict U.S. options on a missile defense system to protect America and its allies and argue that the accord has insufficient procedures to verify Russia’s adherence.

Politics coursed through the debate on Monday as Republicans were still peeved

by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to interrupt the six days of treaty consideration for votes on the gay ban and an unsuccessful immigration measure, legislation they considered a sop to the Democratic Party’s liberal base.

“No senator should be forced to make decisions like this so we can tick off another item on someone’s political check list before the end of the year,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said.

Obama suffered a self-described “shellacking” in the Nov. 2 midterm elections as his party lost control of the House and suffered an erosion in its Senate majority. Yet he has scored two major political wins in Congress’ postelection session — overwhelming bipartisan passage of the tax deal he cut with Republicans and repeal of the ban on openly gay members serving in the military.

His top foreign policy priority before the year’s end is ratification of the treaty.

Kerry bemoaned the politics atypical for arms control treaties.

“When the leader comes to the floor and says that our national security is being driven by politics, we really need to step back for a moment and calm down and think for a moment about what is at stake,” the Massachusetts Democrat said.

He later added: “I mean is there no shame ever with respect to the arguments that are made sometimes on the floor of the United States Senate.”

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Republican lawmakers had legitimate concerns, but “we believe that we’ve

answered those concer ns.” So at this point, he said, objections “are more about politics than substance.”

Senior Democrats pushed toward a possible decisive vote on Tuesday to cut off debate and set the stage for a final vote later in the week. Republicans and Democrats were discussing amendments to the accompanying resolution — not the treaty — that would address GOP concerns about missile defense and build support for the agreement.

“It’s going to be a real slog, house by house combat if you will, but I think we’ll be there,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday. Schumer also said longtime Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran was on board, but when questioned later in the day, the Republican told reporters he didn’t want to talk about his vote.

Democrats expect to get 57 votes from their caucus, with Sen. Ron Wyden, DOre., absent due to cancer surgery on Monday. Five Republican senators — Richard Lugar of Indiana, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, George Voinovich of Ohio and Brown — have said they back the treaty while four others — Robert Bennett of Utah, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Tennessee’s Bob Corker and Isakson — said they were leaning toward approval.

Corker said he has received several calls from Biden.

In Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned against any changes to the treaty.

“I can only underline the fact that (the treaty) that was developed on a strict basis of parity, in our view corresponds fully to the national interests of Russia and the U.S.A.,” Lavrov told Russia’s Interfax news agency. “It cannot be opened up and become the subject of new negotiations.”

The treaty specifically would limit each country’s strategic nuclear warheads to 1,550, down from the current ceiling of 2,200. It would also establish a system for monitoring and verification. U.S. weapons inspections ended a year ago with the expiration of a 1991 treaty.

A docket call to report on the status of the Ortega case has been scheduled for Jan, 10.

The trial for Smith is tentatively set for March 31, with pretrial hearings set for March 19 and 25.

Criminal sexual penetration is a second-degree felony that carries a sentence of 15 to 20 years in a state penitentiary and fines of $10,000.

Kidnapping is a first-degree felony with a sentence of between 12 and 24 years and fines of $15,000.

Pyongyang that his trip yielded “positive” results.

“It was a good visit — positive results in our discussions with North Korea,” he said Tuesday morning before boarding a plane in Pyongyang.

Richardson said the North agreed to let U.N. atomic inspectors visit its main nuclear complex to make sure North Korea is not producing enriched uranium for a nuclear bomb, according to a statement from his office.

The United States, however, indicated skepticism that North Korea would do anything more than talk.

“North Korea talks a great game. They always do,” U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in Washington. “The real issue is what will they do. If they are agreeable to returning IAEA (Inter national Atomic Energy Agency) inspectors to their country, they need to tell the IAEA that.”

The North expelled U.N. inspectors last year, and last month showed a visiting American scientist a new, highly advanced uranium enrichment facility that could give it a second way to make atomic bombs, in addition to its plutonium program. Richardson also said that Pyongyang was willing to sell fresh fuel rods, potentially to South Korea.

“This is the way countries are supposed to act,” Crowley told reporters.

“The South Korean exercise was defensive in nature. The North Koreans were notified in advance. There was no basis for a belligerent response.”

The North’s apparent conciliatory gestures came after South Korea launched fighter jets, evacuated hundreds of residents near its tense land border with the North and sent residents of islands near disputed waters into underground bunkers in case Pyongyang followed through on a vow to attack over the drills.

“We have to show North Korea that we are committed to respond to any kind of North Korean provocation,” a senior South Korean government official said Tuesday.

He said the lack of response Monday did not mean Pyongyang was backing down, noting that North Korea thrives on “surprise” attacks and that South Korean military was braced for possible provocations in coming days. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the matter.

North Korea has previously been accused of using a mix of aggression and conciliatory gestures to force international negotiations that usually net it much-needed aid. Real progress on efforts to rid the North of its nuclear weapons programs has been rare.

On Nov. 23, the North shelled Yeonpyeong Island, a tiny enclave of fishing communities and military bases about 7 miles (11 kilometers) from North Korean shores in response to an earlier round of South Korean live-fire maneuvers.

The artillery barrage killed two marines and two construction workers and was the first attack targeting civilian areas since the 1950-53 Korean

Hamilton was fined $999 for each dog. j.palmer@roswell-record.com War. The Korean peninsula, still technically in a state of war, has remained tense for weeks, and U.N. diplomats holding an emergency meeting in New York on Sunday failed to find a solution to the crisis.

Pyongyang is believed to be seeking one-on-one talks with Washington before returning to stalled nuclear disar mament negotiations hosted by China. The U.S. and South Korea, however, say resuming the talks without requiring meaningful movement on past nuclear commitments would reward North Korea for bad behavior.

China has urged a resumption of the talks, and diplomats said Beijing successfully prevented Sunday’s U.N. Security Council meeting from issuing a statement condemning the North’s shelling — as the U.S. and others had wanted.

China’s deputy U.N. ambassador Wang Min urged both sides “to exercise maximum restraint,” avoid increasing tensions and solve differences through peaceful dialogue and engagement.

“China will continue to make every efforts towards this end,” he said Monday. “Calm rather than tensions, dialogue rather than confrontation, peace than warfare — this is the strong aspiration and voice of the peoples from both sides of the peninsula and the international community.”

Diplomats at the U.N. blamed China for refusing to condemn North Korea for two deadly attacks this year that helped send relations to their lowest point in decades.

China is the North’s most important ally and has come under pressure to leverage its influence to rein in the North in the wake of the attack.

Beijing, which provides crucial food and fuel aid to Pyongyang, is wary of pressuring the North in a way that could destabilize it, fearing in part a government collapse and a flood of refugees into northeastern China.

It was unclear if China persuaded North Korea not to react to Monday’s drills.

Richardson appeared to suggest that his visit contributed to the North’s backing down.

“During my meetings in Pyongyang, I repeatedly pressed North Korea not to retaliate. The result is that South Korea was able to flex its muscles, and North Korea reacted in a statesmanlike manner,” Richardson said in a statement. “I hope this will signal a new chapter and a round of dialogue to lessen tension on the Korean peninsula.”

North Korea called Monday’s drills a “reckless military provocation” but said they held fire because Seoul had changed its firing zones.

The of ficial Korean Central News Agency carried a military statement that suggested the North viewed Monday’s drills differently from those that provoked it last month because South Korean shells landed farther south of the North’s shores.

The North claims the waters around Yeonpyeong as its territory. Several bloody naval skirmishes have occurred in recent years along the Koreas’ disputed western sea border, which the North does not recognize.

US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program

MISSION: The mission of the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

GOAL: The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation's most valuable natural resources - our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.

ACTIVITIES: The principal Toys for Tots activities which take place each year are the collection and distribution of toys in the communities in which a Marine Corps Reserve Unit is located and in communities without a Reserve Unit that has a Marine Corps League Detachment or group of men and women, generally veteran Marines, authorized by Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to conduct a local Toys for Tots campaign.

Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators conduct an array of activities throughout the year, which include golf tournaments, foot races, bicycle races and other purely voluntary events designed to increase interest in Toys for Tots, and concurrently generate toy and monetary donations.

You can still donate to this year’s Toys For Tots program, but need to do it quickly!

Santa Claus will be distributing Toys For Tots on Thursday, December 23, at the Yucca Center, 500 South Richardson Ave., starting at 9:00 a.m.

Roswell Daily Record

In tough times, Santas also suffering ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Craig McTavish — a.k.a. Santa — has the beard. He has the belly.

He even has a few tricks up his sleeve, like pulling up to parties on his Harley-Davidson in full Kris Kringle garb.

But there’s one thing he doesn’t have: work.

For freelance Santas, this holiday season has been more “no, no, no,” than “ho, ho, ho.” Bookings have declined as paying $125 an hour for Santa to visit a holiday party has become an unaffordable luxury. It’s the second year of declining parties and events, Santas say.

“This year has been a bust as far as making any money,” said McTavish, a retired firefighter who coowns a landscaping business with his son. “I’ve booked nothing. Usually there’s always something for Christmas Eve, but I don’t even have that.”

In addition to knowing which children have been bad or good, the modernday Santa also hears which families don’t have enough money for presents.

“You can see the downturn from the chair,” said Nicholas Trolli, the president of the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas — a 1,700-member social group the Boston Herald once dubbed “The Nation’s Premier Fraternity of A-List Santas.”

Trolli lives in Sarasota, Fla., but travels around the country as a hired Santa. On a recent day, he worked a mall in Kansas City that had to lower photo prices by 20 percent.

“People are telling us

they just can’t afford a photo with Santa,” Trolli said.

Even in-demand Santas with real beards have had to slash rates, Trolli said.

They once commanded $200 an hour, but now they’re charging half that.

Trolli said that anecdotally, his members’ bookings are off about 25 percent. Other Santas around the nation said that in good years, they booked 40 events a season and are down to fewer than 10. Others who once booked 10 events a year are down to none.

Most Santas don’t rely on the gigs as a primary source of income, but they say they enjoy doing it and the extra money is nice.

John Wenner, a Santa with a real beard from Woodbury Heights, N.J., said his last good year was 2008, when he booked dozens of private parties and corporate jobs. This season, he’s only had a few gigs.

“They’re way down this year,” Wenner said. “It’s amazing how down. I’ve even cut back my price a little bit, to help sway a little more business. As it is, the way the economy has been, it’s getting tough.”

Despite the less-thanjolly economic climate, Santas said the joys of the job mostly make up for the tough times.

They love talking to kids, making adults laugh and spreading some holi-

day cheer in a year where joy has been in short supply. Several mentioned buying presents — or even Christmas trees — for needy families. T rolli’s group encourages members to book charity events for free or reduced prices if they don’t get paying gigs.

A lucky few — mostly in wealthier parts of the country — are reporting a booming business.

Doug Peters of Davie, Fla., said he’s had an excellent couple of years; last year, a wealthy customer on the exclusive South Florida enclave of Fisher Island asked him to work Christmas Eve. Peters charged $500 an hour and the customer didn’t blink.

Evacuations ordered as storm saturates Calif.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A storm pounding California with record rain forced authorities in the San Joaquin Valley to order 2,000 residents to evacuate the farming community of McFarland due to major flooding.

An estimated 400 to 500 homes were in danger, Ker n County Fire Department spokesman Sean Collins said.

A sherif f’s helicopter crew was trying to locate the source of the flooding, which possibly was coming from ditches and canals that supply water to far ms, Collins said.

Two evacuation centers were set up.

“We cannot mandatorily evacuate anybody,” Collins said. “If a person wants to stay, we cannot arrest them.”

Stor my weather has gripped California since late last week, triggering mostly minor flooding, mudslides, road closures and power outages. Forecasters warned of worsening conditions Tuesday and Wednesday, as more storms bore down on the state and threatened to dump another 5 to 10 inches of rain.

Fresno TV station KFSN reported a 5-year-old boy was killed Sunday night when an SUV driven by his father went out of control during a downpour west of Temperance. The three surviving family members were taken to a hospital.

Virtually the entire state was affected by the bad weather, from coastal cities to the Central Valley, Sierra Nevada and souther n deserts. On Sunday, rainfall records for the date fell, numerous traffic accidents snarled roads and trees tumbled.

Some locations in Souther n Califor nia received more than 12 inches of rain, said mete-

orologist Jamie Meier of the National Weather Service. It was the most rainfall in one storm event since 2005, he said.

“That will make for a pretty good wallop, especially considering how dry things have been for the last two years,” Meier said.

Flash-flood watches and warnings were in effect for some places, particularly mountain areas still scarred by wildfires.

Residents of La Canada Flintridge were among those keeping a wary eye on the rain after a 250square-mile wildfire last year denuded towering slopes above communities along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.

More than 40 homes in the hillside city just north of Los Angeles were damaged or destroyed by a mudslide in February.

“We’ve just had some sprinkling rains today.

Occasionally it gets a littler harder but nothing to worry about,” said Del Tucker, a retired geologist who has lived in the area since homes were built there in 1962.

In the Sierra, the Sugar Bowl ski resort received as much as 60 inches of snow at upper elevations.

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. crews were working to restore power to the last of about 282,000 customers that lost electricity since the storm arrived.

Southern California Edison had 13,000 customers still without power Monday.

Repair crews braced for predicted winds of up to 45 mph, along with heavy rain and snow in elevated areas.

“We’re getting both rain and snow. The thing that we’re seeing right now, we’re starting to get reports of winds, and winds are what can cause more problems than the rain itself,” Edison spokesman Steve Conroy said.

Elsewhere, a 20-mile stretch of scenic Pacific Coast Highway between Malibu and Oxnard was closed to commuters after a rock and mudslide Sunday night. The California Highway Patrol said no one was hurt. PCH also was closed for a time in

Orange County by a mudslide at Dana Point.

In the inland region east of Los Angeles, a mudslide closed part of Interstate 215 in San Bernardino County. Areas of the county that burned recently were under close watch, but no evacuations had been ordered, said fire spokeswoman Tracey Martinez.

“We’re doing preparation because the height of the rain for our county is going to be Tuesday and Wednesday,” she said.

“There’s thousands and thousands of sand bags, and I don’t know how many tons of sand we’ve placed everywhere.”

Eastbound Highway 71 in easter n Los Angeles County was closed because of potholes and flooding, and a number of mountain roads were closed.

In Kern County, 10 people were evacuated Monday from three homes in Weldon due to flooding from a creek. In Monterey County, Three Peaks recorded 13.74 inches between Thursday evening and Sunday night.

Wine 2011: Look forward to good prices and choices

Riesling will rise. The market for wine in Asia will boom on. Customers will continue to hunt for vintage values. And the market for fine wine will continue to rumble back to life.

That’s the sort of year industry observers say the world of wine will bring us in 2011.

In 2010, the economy remained a top issue for American high-end winemakers, many of them in California. They saw sales of wines priced at $30 or more

a bottle slammed when consumer spending collapsed.

“Since so much of the economy of high-end wine is attached to a robust economy and wealth creation, we have clearly seen a difficult couple of years for Napa and other high-end growing areas,” said Barry Schuler, former chairman and CEO of America Online and now proprietor of Meteor Vineyard in the Napa Valley.

Now, “the market’s definitely coming back,” which means producers have to

decide what to do next, he says. “I think people are looking at Asia, where all of a sudden there’s an interest in fine wine and high-end wine, both from collectors and young entrepreneurs who are acquiring some wealth for the first time.”

Here at home, meanwhile, consumers who had been staying away from premium wines — or, if they were going to shell out $50 or more, sticking to tried and true brands — are getting a little more adventurous,

says Doug Shafer of Shafer Vineyards, the Napa Valley producer of the highly regarded Hillside Select cabernet sauvignon. “People are feeling a little more confident,” he said.

One trend from 2010 that Shafer expects to see continue in 2011 is restaurants teaming with wineries to sell wine under their own name.

That trend got a boost from the recession, with premium grapes and wine becoming cheaper and more available.

Consumers used to get-

ting good values in wines likely will continue that hunt. “There can be some really good finds out there,” Shafer says.

Some consumers are going to be looking to imports for values, exploring the well-priced varietals of Argentina, Chile, Portugal, the Rhone in France, and

Spain. “As the economy continues to rebound (we hope!) consumers will be looking for flavor and value, and these countries are providing them,” say Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg, award-winning authors of “What to Drink with What You Eat,” now also available as an iPhone app.

NATIONAL DENVER’S ALEXANDER ARRESTED, WAIVED ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

(AP) — The Denver Broncos have waived rookie linebacker Kevin Alexander hours after he was arrested on a domestic violence allegation.

Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said that although the team was aware of his arrest, Alexanderʼs release was a football decision to clear a roster spot for cornerback Chevis Jackson.

Aurora police were called to an apartment Monday morning and were told by a woman who said she was Alexanderʼs girlfriend that he had assaulted her Sunday night. The 23-year-old Alexander was arrested for investigation of misdemeanor assault and battery.

He was taken into custody shortly before noon and was released after posting $2,000 bail. A court date was set for Tuesday.

Alexanderʼs arrest was the third for a Broncos player this season. Linebacker D.J. Williams was stripped of his captaincy after his October arrest on suspicion of drunken driving and rookie cornerback Perrish Cox faces a sexual assault case following his arrest earlier this month.

Alexander played in eight games for the Broncos, including Sunday at Oakland, where he was whistled for an illegal block on a punt return by SydʼQuan Thompson in the second quarter.

Alexander signed with the Broncos in April as an undrafted free agent out of Clemson. He was promoted to the active roster on Oct. 16 after spending the first five weeks on Denverʼs practice squad. He finished with one tackle on defense and three special teams stops.

Cowboys hold off Redskins, 33-30 Section

Roswell Daily Record

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — With his team up by 20 points in the third quarter and Rex Grossman doing a lousy job as Washington’s new starting quarterback, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones let out a sigh of relief. He figured the game was “tucked away ... a cakewalk.”

Apparently, he forgot how lousy his defense is.

Grossman and the Redskins rallied to tie the game midway through the fourth quarter, leaving Jones gasping for air. Then, David Buehler put Dallas back ahead with a 39-yard field goal with 50 seconds left and the defense finally came through with a crucial stop, pulling out a 33-30 victory Sunday.

“I’d take an ugly win over a hard-fought loss any day,” said cornerback Terence Newman, whose interception and weaving return drained the clock at game’s end.

Dallas led 13-0 before Grossman had crossed midfield. Washington coach Mike Shanahan’s benching of Donovan McNabb looked even worse when Grossman fumbled early in third quarter and the Cowboys turned it into a touchdown that stretched their lead to 27-7.

They could’ve been up even more, but had only field goals to show for drives that reached the 20 and 2, and didn’t have anything to show for drives that reached the 1 and 18.

Still, the way the game was going, what could go wrong?

Well, Shanahan figured out a few things, and so did Grossman. He led the Redskins to touchdowns on three straight drives over the third and fourth quarters, getting 2-point conversions on the last two. Mike Sellers danced with joy after catching a lob that tied the game at 30 with 7:37 left.

Santana Moss caught two of Grossman’s touchdown throws and might’ve had a third in the closing minutes.

The cornerback covering him fell and there was only a safety to beat when a ball hit Moss in stride around midfield — but he dropped it.

The Redskins punted and the Cowboys answered with the winning drive.

It went only 31 yards over seven plays, but drained plenty of time and set up Buehler’s final kick. It made up for a missed 35-yarder See DALLAS, Page B2

NEW YORK (AP) — After win No. 88 in a row was in the books, Geno Auriemma finally let loose: He thinks some people are rooting against his record-setting players because of their gender.

“I just know there wouldn’t be this many people in the room if we were chasing a woman’s record,” the Connecticut coach said Sunday near the end of his postgame news conference.

“The reason everybody is having a heart attack the last four or five days is a bunch of women are threatening to break a men’s record, and everybody is all up in arms about it.”

Raiders spoil Tebow’s 1st start Bears slam Vikings

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — After watching his team commit three turnovers, allow two big play touchdowns to Tim Tebow and commit a penalty that wiped out a score in the first half, coach Tom Cable didn’t hold back at halftime.

“There’s no reason to be calm or rational at that point,” Cable said.

The Raiders responded to the tongue-lashing, getting a 73-yard touchdown pass from Jason Campbell to Marcel Reece to keep their playoff hopes alive and spoil Tebow’s first NFL start with a 39-23 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

“That’s the most animated I’ve ever seen him,” defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said. “From the time we came in here, he was going off. From the time we came in here pretty much until we left, nobody really talked except Cabes.”

Jacoby Ford scored on a 71-yard run on Oakland’s first play from scrimmage and Michael Bush added two short touchdown runs to keep the Raiders (7-7) in the hunt for a playoff berth after last week’s wrenching 38-31 loss at Jacksonville.

Oakland trails Kansas City by two games in the AFC West and will need to win the final two games and get help in order to win the division.

in the fight, still be in the hunt, we’ve grown a long ways,” Campbell said. “The loss last week is not going to do any good for us to dwell on it. It’s not going to help us this week. What we have to do is control what’s in front of us from here out.”

The Broncos (3-11) have long been eliminated from the playoff chase, having lost nine of 10 games to tie

the franchise record for losses in a season. That, along with Kyle Orton’s bruised ribs, made the decision to give Tebow his first career start an easy one.

For a player who became famous in college for his exploits at the Swamp, Tebow must have felt at home on a wet day at the See BRONCOS, Page B2

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brett Favre was bundled up in a heavy gray coat by the time Devin Hester sped through the snow with his record-setting return.

Favre’s surprise start ended with another injury, perhaps putting him out for good, and the game ended with an NFC North title for the Chicago Bears.

Hester set the NFL record with his 14th kick return touchdown, running back a punt 64 yards for a score shortly after halftime to help the Bears fly past the Minnesota Vikings 40-14 on a frosty, hard-hitting Monday night.

Jay Cutler threw three touchdown passes for the Bears (10-4), who last won this division during their 2006 Super Bowl season. Hester caught one of those scoring tosses and also took back the second-half kickoff 79 yards to set up a field goal a few minutes before his game-breaking punt return made it 27-7.

That was Hester’s 14th career return touchdown, kickoff or punt, breaking Brian Mitchell’s previous mark.

Favre finished 5 for 7 for 63 yards, and the Vikings (5-9) fell apart in front of their proud alum-

ni in town for the franchise’s 50th-anniversary celebration featuring all kinds of blasts from the past.

With the Metrodome unusable because of a roof collapse, the game got moved to the University of Minnesota. TCF Bank Stadium was about 80 percent full, with snowballs flying from the seats — sometimes hitting players — and plenty of frolicking in the flakes.

Former Vikings coach Bud Grant jogged around the field at halftime in a short-sleeve purple shirt, getting carried off by some of his former players after an inspired ceremony.

Favre wasn’t even supposed to play. His sprained throwing shoulder hurt too much for him to practice this week, and his NFL-record starts streak of 297 regular-season games was already over after sitting out the previous week.

But after feeling better when he woke up on Monday, according to the Vikings, Favre wanted to try. He passed his pregame throwing test and trotted out in front of the Minnesota fans one last time, finding Percy Harvin for a 23-yard TD to give the Vikings a 7-0 lead after the opening drive.

and provided a bit of revenge for a loss to Washington in the opener that sent the Cowboys’ season spiraling down the drain.

“I’m just happy I got that opportunity,” said Buehler, who’s had the winning kick in Dallas’ last two victories.

The Cowboys improved to 4-2 under interim coach Jason Garrett, guaranteeing no worse than a break-even finish for his tenure. They also have a chance to avoid finishing last in the NFC East. Dallas and Washington are both 5-9 and tied for third.

Garrett might even have Tony Romo back from a broken collarbone for the final two games.

He could be cleared to return Christmas night in Arizona, although Jones wasn’t optimistic after seeing him throw before this game.

“Frankly, he’s still having sensitivity there,” Jones said. “We’re a little behind where I thought we would be on how healthy he is. ... He’s not

Fill-in quarterback Jon Kitna was 25 of 37 for 305 yards with two touchdowns, so he’s obviously not holding Dallas back.

It’s a defense that has allowed at least 30 points for four straight games, the club’s worst streak since doing it five in a row while going 1-15 in 1989.

Maybe that’s why Shanahan figured this was the perfect time to turn to Grossman.

Making his first start since November 2008, Grossman was 25 of 43 for 322 yards and tied his career high with four touchdowns. He threw two interceptions and was sacked five times.

“I didn’t have jitters, but it took a while to get into the flow of the game,” Grossman said. “Maybe we started our run a tad too late.”

McNabb watched from the sideline in a black Redskins hat, arms crossed or grasped behind his back. He stood mostly by himself.

He managed to come up with some of the big plays that helped him win a Heisman T rophy and two national titles at Florida, becoming the third player to throw a TD pass at least 30 yards and run for a score of at least 40 yards in the same game.

But he also did not look smooth throwing the ball, a big reason why many questioned former Denver coach Josh McDaniels for trading up to take Tebow in the first round of the draft. He finished 8 for 16 for 138 yards and ran for 78 more.

“You’re playing against the biggest, strongest, fastest, but at the end of the day it’s still playing football and so it wasn’t extremely different,” Tebow said.

The key play for the Raiders was Campbell’s short pass to Reece that turned into a game-breaker.

Reece caught the ball near the line of scrimmage with open space in front of him.

He juked David Bruton near midfield and raced the rest of the way to make it 30-20.

The Broncos responded with Steven Hauschka’s third field goal, but Quentin Groves tackled Correll

Buckhalter in the end zone for a safety that put the Raiders back in control in their third straight win over Denver.

The Raiders took a 23-20 lead into the fourth quarter after Sebastian Janikowski’s 47-yard field goal. The teams traded field goals earlier in the third with the Broncos settling for theirs after Lance Ball dropped a pass in the end zone.

Tebow turned two Raiders turnovers into touchdowns in the first half, scoring on a 40-yard quarterback draw on third-and24 when he ran through the middle of Oakland’s defense and then broke tackles from safeties Michael Huff and Tyvon Branch.

Tebow then threw a ball up for grabs in the end zone that went through cornerback Stanford Routt’s hands and was caught by Brandon Lloyd for a 33yard touchdown. Lloyd was originally ruled out of bounds, but the play was overturned on a replay challenge.

“He did what we expected of him,” Lloyd said. “He kept his poise, he kept his composure, even when it was tough out there. He didn’t have any of those situations where he called the wrong play. I was impressed.”

Streak

Continued from Page B1

Already with no equal in women’s basketball, UConn won its 88th straight game Sunday to match the men’s mark set by coach John Wooden and his UCLA teams from 1971-74. T iffany Hayes scored 26 points and Maya Moore added 22 to help the top-ranked Huskies rout No. 11 Ohio State 81-50 in the Maggie Dixon Classic at Madison Square Garden.

“All the women are happy as hell and they can’t wait to come in here and ask questions.

All the guys that loved women’s basketball are all excited, and all the miserable (people) that follow men’s basketball and don’t want us to break the record are all here because they are (ticked),” Auriemma said.

“Because we’re breaking a men’s record, we’ve got a lot of people paying attention,” Auriemma said. “If we were breaking a women’s record, everybody would go, ‘Aren’t those girls nice, let’s give them two paragraphs in USA Today, you know, give them one line on the bottom of ESPN and then let’s send them back where they belong, in the kitchen.”

12 men arrested in suspected UK terrorism plot Roswell Daily Record

LONDON (AP) — In the biggest anti-terrorist sweep in nearly two years, British police on Monday netted a dozen men accused of plotting a large-scale terror attack on targets inside the United Kingdom.

The raid was thought to be linked to UK targets only and not part of a larger threat to other European countries, security officials said.

Police who swooped in on the men’s houses early in the mor ning were unarmed, suggesting any planned attack was not imminent and the suspects were not believed armed. Police were heavily criticized in 2006 when they shot an unarmed suspect in a similar counterterrorism raid. Only a fraction of Britain’s police officers are armed.

The men were arrested in London, the Welsh city of Cardiff and the English cities of Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent and the raid was the largest since April 2009, when 12 men were detained over an alleged al-Qaida bomb plot in the northern city of Manchester.

Counterterrorism officials declined to give more details of the alleged plot, saying only that the men had been under surveil-

lance for several weeks — an indication that the plot could have been in its planning stages. No details were given as to whether explosives or arms were found.

“The operation is in its early stages so we are unable to go into detail at this time,” said John Yates, Britain’s senior counterterrorism police officer.

Officers said the men range in age from 17 to 28. Police have up to 28 days to question them before they must be charged or released.

The men are thought to be British nationals but with links to Bangladesh and Pakistan, according to a counterterrorism of ficial who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Britain is home to large Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities.

A British security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of his work, said the arrests were not thought to be part of any planned holiday season attack. Iraqi of ficials had claimed last week that captured insurgents believed a recent suicide bombing in Stockholm was part of a series of attacks during the Christmas season.

UN condemns intimidation

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — The top U.N. envoy in Ivory Coast on Monday condemned intimidation tactics against U.N. personnel, saying armed men were threatening staff after the United Nations ignored Laurent Gbagbo’s demand that thousands of peacekeepers leave the country.

A spokesman for Gbagbo in Paris on Monday said he doubted soldiers or those supporting Gbagbo would be involved in such tactics.

Meanwhile, the U.N. Security Council called on all parties to recognize opposition leader Alassane Ouattara as Ivory Coast’s president.

A resolution adopted unanimously Monday by the council stepped up pressure on Gbagbo to concede defeat, which he has refused to do. The resolution urges all Ivorian parties and stakeholders “to respect the will of the people and the outcome of the election” in view of the recognition of Ouattara by the African Union and the West African regional group ECOWAS “in order to ensure peace” in Ivory Coast.

The United Nations has also vowed to continue its mission despite the order from Gbagbo for its peacekeepers to leave.

“Armed men have been coming to the personal houses of United Nations employees, asking them to leave and searching their houses under the pretext of looking for arms,” U.N. Special Representative Choi Young-jin said at a news conference Monday in Abidjan.

Toussaint Alain, an adviser for Gbagbo, said he didn’t believe soldiers or people close to Gbagbo would carry out such acts.

“The U.N. is trying to manipulate public opinion and is looking for a pretext for a military intervention,” he told The AP in Paris.

Gbagbo’s demand that peacekeepers leave has raised fears that U.N. personnel and other foreigners could be targeted in violence. Over the weekend, masked gunmen opened fire on the U.N. base in the West African nation, though no one from the global body was harmed in the attack. Two military observers were wounded in another attack.

The U.S. State Department on Sunday ordered most of its personnel to leave Ivory Coast because of the deteriorating security situation and growing anti-Western sentiment.

The U.N. says more than 50 people have been killed in recent days, and that it has received hundreds of reports of people being abducted from their homes at night by armed assailants in military uniform. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said there is growing evidence of “massive violations of human rights.”

Alain, the Gbagbo adviser, said he doubted if the allegations of kidnappings were true, but if they were, they were being carried out by supporters of his opponent, disguised in military uniforms.

In a statement read on state television Saturday, a Gbagbo spokeswoman said that 9,000 U.N. peacekeepers and another 900 French troops supporting them were to leave immediately. Gbagbo accused the U.N. mission of backing his opponent, Ouattara, and arming rebels who support him.

The U.N. and the international community recognize Ouattara as the victor of last month’s presidential runoff vote. The U.N. had been invited by the country itself to supervise the vote and certify the outcome following a peace accord after Ivory Coast’s 2002-2003 civil war.

About 800 U.N. peacekeepers are protecting the hotel from which Ouattara is trying to govern the country. They are in turn encircled by Gbagbo’s troops. On Monday, the U.N. said that the hotel had been completely blockaded and that people inside had not been able to get needed medication.

Afghan parliament to convene Jan. 20 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s parliament will convene on Jan. 20, more than four months after the fraud-tainted elections, the president’s spokesman said Monday, in what could be a step toward a more stable government in the war-wracked country.

Waheed Omar said the 249-seat parliament will be inaugurated after the winter break. The elections were held on Sept. 18 and the results ratified by the Independent Election Commission on Nov. 24.

The ballot was plagued by irregularities and voter intimidation. Election officials discarded 1.3 million ballots — nearly a quarter of the total — for fraud and disqualified 19 winning candidates for cheating.

The attorney general’s office also launched a separate investigation into allegations of ballot manipulation.

The Afghan government is fighting for control of the countryside against insurgents led by the Islamic extremist Taliban.

On Monday, NATO said more than 10 insurgents were killed in fighting in separate incidents, one in the southern province of Helmand and the other in the eastern province of

Kunar on the Pakistani border.

In Helmand, which has seen fierce fighting, air support was called in after a joint Afghan army and coalition patrol came under fire in the district of Kajaki, NATO said, leaving “numerous” insurgents dead.

Several more were killed in Kunar when a coalition outpost “spotted numerous armed insurgents and requested air support,” the coalition said in a statement. It did not give further details or say exactly how many militants were killed in each attack.

Afghan authorities also said the final death toll from Sunday’s suicide bomb attacks against security forces in the capital and the northern city of Kunduz was 14.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks, in which militants struck at an army recruitment center in Kunduz and ambushed a bus carrying Afghan army personnel in Kabul.

The U.S.-led Coalition said the Afghan security forces were effective in stopping the attacks.

The brunt of the fighting in Kunduz was taken up by Afghan security forces, assisted by some NATO forces. AP video showed U.S. troops

also returning fire in Kunduz.

Recruitment and training for the Afghan army and police is a key component of a plan to transition responsibility for security to local forces by the end of 2014, allowing U.S.-led forces to withdraw from the country.

In the past year, the Afghan National Army grew 42 percent — from 97,000 to 138,164. The size of the police force rose from about 95,000 to 120,504, or 27 percent.

But the security forces are also seen as corrupt, and many units suffer high rates of attrition.

Kunduz, a major agricultural and marketing center that controls one of the main highways into neighboring Tajikistan, virtually shut down, with shops, the bazaar and administrative offices closing as the gunbattle raged.

The city was the last major urban center held by the Taliban in 2001, and militants began stepping up attacks there after NATO began using supply routes through former Soviet states bordering northern Afghanistan as alternatives to routes through Pakistan, where NATO convoys have come under frequent attack.

Belarus strongman keeps grip on power after disputed vote

AP Photo

Incumbent Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is shown after a news conference after preliminary election results show him overwhelmingly winning a fourth term in Minsk, Belarus, Monday.

MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The leader of the last dictatorship in Europe appeared to have quashed any immediate threat to his continuing rule, declaring Monday that he was the overwhelming winner of a presidential election that ended with a violent crackdown on reformists hoping for change.

No demonstrations occurred in the capital, Minsk, on Monday night, an indication that things were returning to normal in Belarus, one of the only surviving relics of Soviet-style dictatorship.

President Alexander Lukashenko exercises overwhelming control over politics, industry and media in this nation of 10 million bordering Poland and the Baltic nations. The repression has been an embarrassment to the European Union, which offered 3

billion euros ($3.9 billion) in aid to Belarus if the elections were judged to be free and fair.

Those hopes dissipated as international observers and Western governments accused Lukashenko of using fraudulent counting and violence against protesters to keep himself in power. Elections officials declared Lukashenko got almost 80 percent of the vote in a preliminary count, handing him a fourth term in office.

“A positive assessment of this election isn’t possible,” said the OSCE observer mission’s head, Geert-Hinrich Ahrens.

The run-up to Sunday’s election had raised a glimmer of hope that Lukashenko was relaxing his grip after more than 16 years in office.

The number of candidates was unprecedented. They were allowed comparative freedom to campaign

and were even allotted time for debates on state media. Belarus passed some election code reforms, joined a European Union effort to draw closer to nations on its eastern flank and even called for improved ties with the U.S. But Lukashenko’s warm tone toward the West began to change this month after Russia agreed to drop recently hiked tariffs for oil exported to Belarus — a concession worth an estimated $4 billion a year for a country whose main industries include tractors, refrigerators and televisions.

The former collective farm manager declared at a press conference Monday that “there won’t be any more muddle-headed democracy in the country,” a sign that he intends to continue on the path of near-total control of the economy, press and politics.

DEAR ABBY: My beautiful 20-year -old daughter was killed in a car accident. I am writing this not only for myself, but for all parents who have lost a child, and to all of the wonderful people who asked, “What can I do for you?”

At the time there wasn’t much anyone could do to help, but after two years I have an answer: Accept me for who I am NOW. When Rachel came into my life, it changed me profoundly.

Losing her did the same. Her father and I work hard to honor her memory, but we will never “get over it” to the degree of being who we were before. I am different now. In some ways — I think — better. I am kinder, more patient, more appreciative of small things, but I am not as outgoing nor as quick to laugh.

I know people mean well when they encourage me to get on with my life, but this IS my life. My priorities have changed.

My expectations of what my future will hold have changed.

Please extend to me again the offer of “anything I can do” and, please, accept me as I am now.

your daughter. I hope that your letter will help anyone who doesn’t understand that the death of a child is the most devastating loss parents can suffer and that the experience is lifechanging. They may get beyond it, but they never get “over” it.

To expect that they would is unrealistic, because it’s a wound that may become less visible but never goes away.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I struggled for years to have children. After many attempts and disappointments we have exhausted all our options. It has been extremely difficult for me to accept.

My husband recently found his daughter from a previous relationship. He knew she existed, but his ex had kept the girl from him for many years. He is now ecstatic and wants to spend every minute with her.

The girl appears to have no desire to have me in her life. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to view her as my stepdaughter.

Yes, she’s my husband’s — but she is his, not “ours.”

I accept that my feelings are somewhat selfish, but I am not sure how to deal with them. I have been in and out of counseling with no change. Please help.

NOT A “REAL” MOM

DEAR NOT: Stop beating yourself up for having unpleasant feelings. If your description is accurate, your husband has allowed his daughter to “clique” you out.

While it’s understandable that because of their long separation his daughter could be fixated on him and vice versa, he should let her know that both of you will love her if she’ll give you the chance.

Look at it from her perspective. If she’s a young woman, she is dealing with a lot of emotions right now. Try to be patient, treat her warmly when you see her, and give her a chance to get to know you.

Good relationships aren’t hatched fully formed; they take time to build.

The tiny leak doesn’t bother me when I’m pulling weeds. I always wear old dress gloves inside the rubber gloves so that my hands don’t get so sweaty and I can wash the cloth gloves. Sometimes I just turn the “lefty” inside out and use it on my right hand.

Dear Heloise: Have you noticed what is going on at the grocery stores?

Canned fruits and vegetables have gone from 16 ounces to 14, 14 1/2 or 15 ounces.

Canned tuna has gone from 7 ounces to 6 1/2 ounces, and now to 5 ounces. This makes it difficult on some of my favorite recipes. Now, we can’t even buy a half-gallon of ice cream! It’s down to 1.75 or 1.5 quarts. Do the people in charge of these changes think we consumers don’t notice what they are doing?

Hide Yo Kids! Hide Yo Wife! 2010’s Worst

If 2010 made you feel like you wanted to hide in a closet and bury yourself under all the coats, then you were probably just trying to escape the storm of sleaze hurled this year by some of entertainment’s finest — or maybe you were just the woman Charlie Sheen called for that infamous late-night hookup.

Either way, 2010 may have been Hollywood’s nadir year: Mad Mel raged again; “Cheaters” could have done a whole celebrity season with plenty to spare for next year; and Kanye was ... well, Kanye. And when the most promising newcomer is a glamorous yet sassy young thing named Antoine Dodson whose song about his sister’s attempted rape made him a YouTube star, it’s time to call it a day, hit the reset button and hope for a lot better in 2011.

Here’s what made us want to hide the kids, hide the wife ... and hide our husbands, too, in 2010.

DROPPING THE BOMB Any chance that Jesse James had at forgiveness after he cheated on America’s Sweetheart, Sandra Bullock, and ruined her Oscar glow were destroyed when we saw who he was cheating with — Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, better known as Ms. March in the

“Tattooed Nazi” calendar.

She kind of made us nostalgic for Tiger Woods’ mistresses. Rachel Uchitel, where are you when we need you?

DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND Even if they’re a gift from a villainous dictator, apparently. Naomi Campbell was forced to testify at the warcrimes trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor after it was revealed that he had given the temperamental model several raw diamonds as a gift after a party (because that’s just what dictators do). After some questionable testimony, there seemed to be a chance that Campbell could be charged with perjury — but apparently a threat of a Blackberry to the head resulted in changing some minds.

SHE’S JUST BEING MILEY: And being Miley these days includes drinking, giving men lap dances, wearing barely there outfits and smoking on a bong.

Can she please go back to being Hannah Montana again?

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY OFFENDER He didn’t get a Grammy nomination, but you’d better believe that Mel Gibson had the best recording of 2010 — with producer’s credit going to ex-girlfriend

and baby mama Oksana Grigorieva. Just when we were beginning to forget about his 2006 verbal rampage against Jews, women and gays, Gibson proved he had more hate to share, this time railing against blacks, Mexicans and Grigorieva in telephone calls so terrifying they would make Mad Max race out of the Thunderdome. Grigorieva also accused Gibson of punching her, but he flatly denied it — saying he only slapped her. FYI, Mel, that defense didn’t work too well for Chris Brown ...

THERE’S A (KLAN) PARTY IN MY PANTS! John Mayer explained his exclusivity in dating those of the Caucasian persuasion by telling Playboy that while his heart was a Benetton ad, his genitalia were the spitting image of uber-racist David Duke. So THAT’s what sent Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift running.

THE BLOOM IS OFF THE ROSE Usually, it takes years of marriage for a couple to get to the point where they’re sniping at each other, withholding sex, throwing around emotional abuse claims and getting into screaming matches. It only took one episode for Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girar-

di, who marked the end of their “Bachelor” courtship in spectacular fashion with the kind of blowup that usually ends with the pronouncement “You ARE the father!” on “Maury.” Forget “The Bachelor”; “The Breakup” is WAY more entertaining.

ZYRTEC CAN’T HELP WITH THIS ONE Stay away from the Plaza Hotel, people: Apparently, something inside of it caused Charlie Sheen to hook up with a porn star, strip down naked, go on a rampage, destroy furniture while hurling the N-word around and get hospitalized. Sheen’s reps blamed his behavior — which happened while his ex-wife and little girls were on the same floor in another room — on an allergic reaction and apparently, CBS bought it, because they took no action against the “Two and a Half Men” star. Somewhere, Mel Gibson is getting ready for another allergy attack.

NEXT TIME, TRY SINGING THE CEE LO SONG, LINDSAY In one of the more illadvised moves of her illadvised life, Lindsay Lohan decided to get a manicure with the message “(Expletive) You” painted on her nails. Funny — if she was

Teen star Steinfeld shows new ‘Grit’ in debut LOS ANGELES (AP) — John Wayne’s original “True Grit” was a vehicle for a worldly wise actor in his 60s in another gruff Old West role he long since had perfected.

The new take on “True Grit” is a starmaking showcase for Hailee Steinfeld in her screen debut as Mattie Ross, the 14-yearold who sets the violent story of retribution in motion.

Wayne’s main trail buddy was Kim Darby, who was in her early 20s when she played Mattie in 1969’s “True Grit,” based on Charles Portis’ novel. Joel and Ethan Coen’s version, opening Wednesday, more faithfully adapts Portis’ story, with Steinfeld’s Mattie pulling a team of veteran actors in her wake, including Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper.

Steinfeld, who just turned 14, earned a supporting-actress nomination for the Screen Actors Guild Awards for “True Grit,” and she has buzz for the same honor at the Academy Awards.

Is she practicing her Oscar speech?

“No-o-o-o, not yet. I mean, honestly, just to be a part of it, that’s the biggest award I could get right now,” she said in an interview.

“It is so surreal. Recently, when I saw the film for the first time, just as the credits started rolling, I thought back immediately to the day I was sitting on the floor in my bedroom just waiting for the phone to ring, thinking to myself ... whoever gets this job, it’s like winning the lottery. And now I see this film put together, and it’s just so incredible. I’m so proud of it.”

Her character is a force of nature, a 19th-

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) Even if you feel frenetic and act frenetic, understand that you are not the only one.

Greet the Winter Solstice with a smile, knowing that you cannot be all things to all people. Then breathe. Doesn't that feel better? Tonight: A must appearance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pressure builds, especially with last-minute gifts and details. If you can, take off or go to a concert, like the "Messiah." You will be able to deal with today's pressure better after a timeout. Don't stand on ceremony if someone doesn't call back. Call again. Tonight: Let your imagination lead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer all you want.

Understand that you cannot do everything, even if others want you to. Be aware of spending and perhaps not only a lastminute need to spend but also an inner demand to be less extravagant. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your energy feeds off the Moon. Don't worry if your ener-

century pioneer teen with a fierce puritanical streak who hires ornery lawman Rooster Cogburn (Bridges) to hunt down her father’s murderer (Brolin), with Damon a preening Texas Ranger joining the search.

The flowery rhythms of Portis’ dialogue, delivered with almost Shakespearean flourish, were tough enough for the seasoned actors, let alone a newcomer who had acted only in student films, commercials and a couple of small TV roles.

Casting directors traveled the country for months, looking at thousands of girls, and the Coens met with a handful of the best.

“They’re all 14-year-old girls, and predictably, they’re all terrible. Not all, but 99point-whatever percent,” Ethan Coen said.

Mattie was an especially hard role, requiring an inexperienced actress to convey her “very adult, very self-possessed, very stiff-necked Protestant sensibility,” Ethan Coen said. “You think, boy, that whole adult self-possession and the acting chops, maybe that doesn’t exist in a real 14-year-old girl.”

A few weeks before shooting started, they found Steinfeld, who lived in Los Angeles.

The Coens auditioned her opposite Bridges and Pepper, who plays another outlaw Mattie encounters.

Just as Mattie was fully formed at 14, they found Steinfeld had maturity and instincts beyond her years.

“She’s totally unintimidated coming into this room with Jeff Bridges and Barry Pepper and doing these scenes,” Joel Coen said. “It’s not a question of experience or training or any of the rest of it. Either you’ve got it or you don’t, sort of genetically, naturally, whatever it happens to be.”

JACQUELINE BIGAR YOUR HOROSCOPE

gy fades; today's Lunar Eclipse could drain you. Don't put too many demands on yourself. No one can be on all the time!

Tonight: Whatever makes you smile. Refuse to be triggered by a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take your time. Don't react to pressure from friends or loved ones. You know where you are going. Sometimes it is best not to explain everything, even if someone demands just that. A little mystery proves to be extremely alluring. Tonight: No one can find you because ...

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Understand that people can and will reverse themselves. Don't get too stuck in letting them know you are right. That type of rigidity does nothing but distance people.

Knowing you don't want that

not heading to court on a probation violation. Perhaps another message would have been better: “Plea bargain.”

MAYBE TEEN MOM NEEDS TO ADD A DANCING COMPONENT Even though Bristol Palin proved she was part of the Rhythmless Nation on “Dancing With the Stars,” Americans still fell in love with her, keeping her on the show and casting aside other more worthy opponents such as Brandy.

Some credited Tea Party supporters for all the Palin love, but maybe it was the gun Mama Palin was packing that got all those people voting. Just kidding ... we think.

IF A SINGER STRIPS NAKED IN DALLAS AND NO ONE NOTICES, DID IT REALLY HAPPEN OK, so, some people — namely Dallas police — did take notice when Erykah Badu got naked at the site of JFK’s assassination for her video “Window Seat.”

But the people she wanted to pay attention — people who actually buy music — ignored her artistic statement, and her album.

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE Courteney Cox probably wanted to turn into a reallife cougar and rip estranged hubby David

Bridges spends almost the entire movie in Steinfeld’s company, but any worries he had about his young co-star quickly vanished.

“I was concerned right up to the first day we shot a big dialogue scene, and then I saw how invested she was in the character, how much talent and skill she had as an actress,” Bridges said. “I was so thrilled and relieved.”

Brolin, whose breakout role came in the Coens’ “No Country for Old Men,” said his own daughter auditioned to play Mattie.

But there were no hard feelings when she got a look at who had won the role.

“I remember when my daughter came on the set and met Hailee, and she goes, ‘Oh my God! She’s perfect!”’ Brolin said.

Steinfeld decided at age 8 she wanted to try acting, inspired by a cousin who was doing commercials and a friend who was in a stage play. She raised the idea with her father, a personal fitness trainer, and mother, an interior designer. Her parents insisted that she study acting for a full year to make sure she was serious.

Then she got an agent and started trying out for roles. Like many actors, child or adult, she spent years auditioning with little to show for it.

“The most frustrating part was, I would get very close to booking things, and the biggest thing that was held against me was I was always too green,” Steinfeld said. “I would be up against girls who had been acting since they could speak.

“That was frustrating, because I was thinking to myself, ‘I must not be that bad if I’m getting that close, but I’m not getting it.’”

coolness, focus on empathizing. Tonight: Unpredictable at best.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) News from those at a distance could be quite startling, forcing you to regroup. Your intuition about a loved one or child could be more right-on than you realize. Don't stand on ceremony over a misunderstanding. Tonight: Could be late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Seek out an activity that allows some sense of detachment. You easily could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening. The faster you let go of what is triggering you, the happier you will be. A child or loved one continues to be irascible. Tonight: Put on Christmas music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Extremes mark your moods and those you deal with. T ry lying low and not pushing any issue; otherwise, the end result could be a problem. Let a partner express his or her ideas and dominate.

Tonight: Go for cozy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel as if you are on a seesaw, and in a sense you are! As you juggle other people's needs with your

own, give up either/or thinking. Why can't everyone have what he or she wants? Try to encompass more open thinking. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Understand that you might not be able to accomplish what you want. Too much is happening around you over which you have little to no control. Maintain a strong hand with your personal finances. Don't allow any impulse buying. Tonight: Early to bed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your playfulness, though well-intended, could upset someone. Your creativity bubbles forth in nearly all situations, whether decorating a tree or handling a problem at work. A meeting or strong friend pushes hard to have you do what he or she wants.

Tonight: Where is the mistletoe?

Arquette to shreds after he dished about their breakup to Howard Stern on what seemed like a regular weekly appearance, oversharing a little bit more each time.

For the record, Arquette said: They had stopped having sex; he cried the first time he had sex with another woman; he thinks Courtney may be getting some from somewhere else; and he started drinking. We figure that last nugget must have started a long time ago.

MOST UNNECESSARY TWEET OF THE YEAR Martin’s Ricky announcement that he is, indeed, a gay man. Livin’ La Vida-Duh!!!

FYI GEORGE, KANYE HAS PROVIDED FAR WORSE MOMENTS Besides hurting W’s feelings, Kanye West had plenty of obnoxious moments in 2010, including berating Taylor Swift for not standing up for him after he dissed her last year (huh?), tangling with Matt Lauer on “Today” and that unfortunate Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade appearance (but we’ll blame Macy’s for that one). Still, you can’t be too mad at a guy who not only acknowledges his boorish behavior, but also revels in it like on the song “Runaway.”
