House caves; payroll tax deadlock ends

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Thursday caved to demands by President Barack Obama, congressional Democrats and fellow Republicans for a short-term renewal of payroll tax cuts for all workers.

The breakthrough almost certainly spares workers an average $20 a week tax increase Jan. 1.

After days of wrangling that even Speaker John Boehner acknowledged “may not have been politically the smartest thing in the world,” the Ohio Republican abruptly

changed course and dropped demands for immediate holiday season talks with the Senate on a full-year measure that all sides said they want. Senate leaders had insisted on the two-month extension to buy time for talks next year.

The House and Senate plan to act on the twomonth extension Friday.

House Republicans were under fire from their constituents and GOP establishment figures incensed that they would risk losing the tax cut issue to Democrats at the dawn of the

2012 presidential and congressional election year.

House GOP arguments about the legislative process and the “uncertainty” a two-month extension would mean for business were unpersuasive.

The compromise legislation would renew the tax break through Feb. 29, along with jobless benefits and a “fix” to prevent doctors from absorbing a big cut in Medicare payments.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Just days after a blizzard struck parts of New Mexico, the state is bracing for another snow blast that could cause trouble for holiday travelers.

The National Weather Service has placed most of the state on a winter storm warning until late today.

Heavy snow and winds up to 65 mph were expected to hit wester n and central New Mexico.

As much as 12 inches of snow is expected in mountain regions and up to 7 inches could hit parts of northeast and central New Mexico.

By Thursday night, snow was falling in Grants, Santa Fe, in the mountains east of Albuquerque and further north.

Portions of Interstate 40 east of Albuquerque and the highway between Raton and Clayton were already closed due to snowpacked and icy conditions, and authorities were warning of difficult driving conditions

The storm follows a blizzard in New Mexico earlier this week that claimed the lives of four people in a weatherrelated collision.

elsewhere. A section of U.S. 285 near Santa Fe was also closed.

Authorities were warning of difficult driving conditions elsewhere as well.

The stor m could pose problems for holiday travelers since heavy snow and wind gust could reduce visibility to near zero in some parts, making travel nearly impossible, according to the National Weather Service.

“It’s going to be very difficult to drive on I-40 from the Arizona border to Albuquerque, and on I-25 just south of Albuquerque,” said Chuck Jones, a

SANTA FE (AP) — Former Public Regulation Commissioner Jerome Block Jr. can get out of jail in time for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, but it’s a temporary reprieve until he’s sentenced on felony charges late next month.

State District Judge Michael Vigil decided Thursday that Block can be released on a $10,000 bond, which requires a $1,000 cash payment.

“I just ask the court not to give up on me yet, your honor,” Block sobbingly

told the judge.

Block was jailed last week and dismissed from a court-supervised drug treatment program. The reasons for Block getting kicked out of the program have not been released publicly and prosecutors for the attorney general’s office also weren’t provided that information before Thursday’s court hearing.

Block has said he is addicted to prescription painkillers.

BAGHDAD (AP) — A terrifying wave of bombs tore through mostly Shiite neighborhoods of Baghdad on Thursday, killing at least 69 people and evoking fears that Iraq could dissolve into a new round of sectarian violence now that American troops have left.

The attacks appeared to be a well-coordinated assault by Sunni militants linked to al-Qaida and targeted markets, grocery stores, cafes and government buildings in a dozen neighborhoods. They coincided with a government crisis that has already

strained ties between the two sects to the breaking point.

For many Iraqis, this could be the beginning of a nightmare scenario: The fragile alliance in the governing coalition is collapsing, large-scale violence bearing the hallmarks of alQaida insurgents has returned and Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki may be moving to grab the already limited power of the minority Sunnis.

The bombings may be linked more to the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops Sunday than the political crisis, but all together the developments raise the specter of a return to the Shiite-Sunni sectarian bloodshed that pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war in 2006 and 2007.

RSO plays annual Stranded ASU student, Texas family rescued Christmas concert VONNIE GOSS GUEST REVIEWER

The Roswell Symphony Orchestra presented a musical Christmas present to its Roswell fans Dec. 18, at Pearson Auditorium. It was a special seasonal treat by members of The El Paso Brass, a basic group of five men who have wonderful musical ability, along with a great deal of delightful humor. The group is composed of Sam Trimble and Kenny Capshaw both on trumpets, Jim Shearer on tuba, Allan Kaplan on trombone, and Rice Lambrecht on horn. For part of the second portion of the concert, they were joined by three cohorts who played piano, drums, and a sort of miniature bass viol.

The program mixed little-known holiday music, with traditional carols and popular numbers.

One number was played to honor Hanukah, as well.

“Silent Night” was presented in a knockyour -socks-off Western jazz and humorous style, although later, this most beloved of all carols was played in the sweet manner to which we are accustomed.

Just a few of the numbers played were the theme of “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” and a jazzy Count Basie-style

version of “O Christmas Tree.”

After a brief intermission, the group returned to the stage with Christmas lights flashing in necklaces. They sounded forth with “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and the popular song, “Besame Mucho” which they stressed means “Kiss Me Much,” a fine idea for any season of the year.

Their version, including a vocal, of the old favorite “Get Your Kicks on Route 66,” literally brought down the house.

Then Celeste, a lovely lady vocalist, joined the group to sing “The Secret of Christmas,” and the group presented “White Christmas” and “My Favorite Things.”

In tribute to our those serving in the Ar med Forces, The Brass played “God Bless the USA,” and closed the concert with the traditional “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” and the audience responded by singing with them.

With poinsettias decorating the stage, and vari-colored Christmas lights twinkling, the audience departed pleased with this RSOsponsored musical gift, as their Merry Christmas greetings filled the air.

Without holiday paper or bow, this concert was a gift to please all in attendance!

The Higgins family’s SUV was buried under a snowdrift on U.S. Highway 412 about 30 miles from Clayton, N.M., when a blizzard moved through the area Monday.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A college student was released from the hospital Thursday after surviving what she said was a nine-day ordeal of being stuck in her car in the snow with no heavy coat, blankets or gloves and only two candy bars for food.

Authorities are still not clear about why 23-year -old Lauren Weinberg drove to the desolate mountain area of Arizona during finals week at Arizona State University before she was rescued Wednesday.

She was less than a mile from a ranch and in an area that had cellphone service. She told authorities her phone wasn’t working, and her car could not be seen from the ranch, where workers plowed through 10 inches of snow to get her out.

Authorities and the U.S. Forest Service workers who found Weinberg said they had no reason to doubt her story of survival amid 2 feet of snow and temperatures that plunged to near zero. One of the people who rescued her said he could see floor mats draped over Weinberg’s legs while she sat in her car, which still had gas.

miracle, either way,” Phoenix police Officer James Holmes, whose agency was investigating her disappearance.

“But the good thing is she’s home and safe.”

It was one of two snow rescues in the Southwest on Wednesday. A Texas family found themselves struggling to breathe after nearly two days in their SUV after it was buried under 4 feet of snow and ice on a rural New Mexico highway.

Two Forest Service employees on snowmobiles found Weinberg about 45 miles southeast of Winslow while checking gates on forest roads. One of them had checked the same gate the morning of Dec. 12 — the day Weinberg said she became stranded and a day after she was last seen at her mother’s home in Phoenix — but didn’t spot anything.

Weinberg had the two candy bars with her and later told a deputy that she put snow in a water bottle and placed it atop the sedan to melt it for drinking water.

She had been driving with no specific destination, traveling south from Winslow toward the Mogollon Rim — a prominent line of cliffs that divides the state’s high country from the desert, Coconino County sheriff’s spokesman Gerry Blair said. The area is frequented mostly by firewood gatherers, hunters and local ranchers.

After the paved road turned into a dirt road, Weinberg stopped at a fence line to move a gate and her vehicle got stuck in the snow, Blair said.

Forest Service worker Bob McDonald said he called out to see if anyone was around the vehicle, and Weinberg opened the back door, looking surprised and relieved.

Gary Strickland, who was trailing McDonald on a second snowmobile, gave Weinberg his fleece jacket and she consumed a packaged lunch, bag of chips and water they had given her. Weinberg used Strickland’s cellphone to call family, picking up on a

signal from the cellphone tower on the private ranch about a half-mile up the road.

Other than being cold, hungry and thirsty, she was in good condition, lucid and speaking coherently, Blair said.

One member of the Texas family found in New Mexico, Yvonne Higgins, remained hospitalized with pneumonia Thursday. Her husband, David Higgins, and his father were on their way to pick up the family’s vehicle after it was pulled by rescuers from the snowdrift near Springer, N.M. The family plans to return to Texas when his wife is released from the hospital, though it was unclear when that might be.

Rescuers had to dig through snow and ice to free the Higgins family, who left their home near League City, Texas, on Sunday for a ski trip in northern New Mexico. The couple and their 5-year-old daughter, Hannah, were clinging to each other and were lethargic early Wednesday.

David Higgins was able to keep the car running for a couple of hours, but when he wanted to clear the exhaust pipe, his door was blocked. He tried to shove his arm through the top of the window, but it went about 16 inches and still was covered in snow.

The family had plenty of water, sandwiches, chips and snack mix.

But as the hours passed, it seemed as if they were working harder to breathe inside the buried SUV. “We weren’t sure of it, but we think we were running out of air. That was spooky,” the 48-year-old father told The Associated Press.

He eventually reached his brother in Texas by cellphone and the distress call was relayed to state police, who launched a search Tuesday evening.

Higgins had a simple message for travelers this winter: Throw a case of water and a sleeping bag in the car.

“It will be there if you need it,” he said.

Hagerman Canal Bridge complete; NM2 reopens

On Thursday, the New Mexico Department of Transportation announced that construction on the Hagerman Canal Bridge on NM2 in Dexter is completed and the highway is now open to traf fic through town.

The old timber bridge was replaced with a new metal pipe arch bridge, according to a press release from the NMDOT. Mountain States Constructors

Kristie Shaw, 39, has warrant for fraud over $2,500. She is also wanted in Texas and Ohio for similar crimes. She was possibly working in Artesia. Shaw is described as 5 feet 3 inches, weight 160 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. Anyone having information on Shaw’s whereabouts should contact Crime Stoppers, 888-594TIPS (8477). Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward.

Pentagon: US concedes mistakes in Pakistani deaths rebuilding the relationship and delay the opening of the supply routes.

In a Pentagon briefing, Brig. Gen. Stephen Clark, an Air Force special operations officer who led the investigation, made it clear that U.S. forces were fired on first and acted in selfdefense.

But he acknowledged that efforts to determine who was firing on the U.S troops and whether there were friendly Pakistani forces in the area — the primary questions in any cross-border incident — failed because U.S. forces used inaccurate maps, were unaware of Pakistani border post locations and mistakenly provided the wrong location for the troops.

There is “an overarching lack of trust between the two sides” that keeps them from giving each other specific details on troops or combat outpost locations, Clark said as he went through a blow-byblow account of the events that began late on Nov. 25 and continued overnight.

U.S. and NATO commanders, Clark said, believe that some of their military operations have been compromised when they’ve given details and locations to the Pakistanis.

According to Clark, U.S. troops were climbing up rugged terrain toward a

village just west of the border when they began to receive machine gun and mortar fire very close to their positions. The U.S. ground commander requested a show of force, so an F-15 fighter jet and an AC-130 gunship flew over, shooting flares to signal the presence of American or NATO troops.

Clark said the gunfire and mortars continued.

And in the first serious miscommunication, the troops on the ground were told that no Pakistani troops were in the area.

Commanders then called for airstrikes.

In a confusing series of communications, U.S. officials gave Pakistan liaison officers the wrong location of the firefight and were told again that no Pakistani troops were in that region. The U.S. launched another round of airstrikes until around 1 a.m., when officials confirmed that there were friendly troops there and the firing stopped.

A key failing, Clark said, was that U.S. troops did not know that two relatively new and spare Pakistani outposts — reportedly called Volcano and Boulder — were just over the border from the village that was the target of the operation.

“They didn’t have coordinates on the border posts to begin with

announced. Cargo carriers are exempt from the rules.

The union wants the court to tell the FAA to reconsider including them, too.

The FAA has said forcing cargo carriers to reduce the number of hours their pilots can fly would be too costly when compared with the safety benefits. Imposing the rules on cargo airlines like Federal Express or UPS would have added another $214 million to the

cost, FAA officials said.

“The FAA’s only basis for excluding cargo rests on a cost benefit analysis,” William T rent, general counsel to the pilots’ association, said in a statement.

T rent said two factors that the FAA cited as exacerbating the risk of pilot fatigue — operating at night and crossing multiple time zones — are more common in cargo opera-

tions than in passenger airlines.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has said he plans to invite top officials from cargo airlines to meet with him next month to urge them to voluntarily follow the new rules.

“One size has never fit all when it comes to crew rest regulations,” said Norman Black, a spokesman for Atlanta-based UPS, in a statement. “UPS believes

and the last convoy of American soldiers rumbled out of that country into Kuwait.

Officials say there are now 91,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan — down from the peak of 101,000 in June.

In December 2009 Obama announced he was sending an additional 33,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan in a bid to beat back the escalating Taliban insurgency and change the course of the war. Six months ago, declaring that the “tide of war is receding,” Obama said he would withdraw 10,000 troops by the end of this year, and another 23,000 by the end of next

summer. The decision was met with initial opposition from military leaders who thought the withdrawal was too much, too soon, particularly since it would pull troops out before the end of next year’s fighting season, which can last well into October and even November.

Last week, however, during a trip to Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta repeatedly told troops that the U.S. had reached a tur ning point in the war. And at one point he went so far as to say, “I really think that for all the sacrifices that you’re doing, the reality is that it is paying off and that we’re moving

Pentagon Press Secretary George Little during an audio news conference with Brig. Gen. Stephen Clark, of the Air Force Special Operations Command, at the Pentagon, Thursday. Clark was talking to the Pentagon press corps from Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After 10 years of war in Afghanistan, a persistent lack of trust between the U.S. and Pakistan still complicates operations along the critical Afghanistan border and was a key factor in the errant American airstrikes late last month that killed 24 Pakistani troops.

U.S. officials on Thursday accepted some blame for the deadly incident that infuriated Pakistani leaders, prompting Pakistan to shut down key supply routes for the war and further eroding America’s already rocky relations with Islamabad. The Department Defense briefed reporters Thursday

on the conclusions reached in its investigation into the November incident.

But the U.S. did not apologize, despite the embarrassing series of communications and coordination errors. Pentagon of ficials said Thursday that military leaders had spoken by phone to Pakistan army chief Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani about the report’s conclusions, but have not yet given him a detailed briefing.

Pakistan refused to cooperate in the investigation. And the U.S. report — placing some of the blame on Islamabad — is likely to only increase their fury, hamper any hope of

because they didn’t know they were there,” Clark said. “The border was not considered a factor to the operation because everything was intended to remain within a kilometer, kilometer and a half inside of Afghanistan. So they never anticipated taking fire from the ridgeline, nor anticipated the idea that it might be Pakistan military there.” A kilometer is about 0.62 miles.

He said that as a result the U.S. troops believed enemy insurgents were firing at them. He added that U.S. commanders in Afghanistan will make any decisions on whether anyone should be punished for the mistakes.

“For the loss of life and for the lack of proper coordination between U.S. and Pakistani forces that contributed to those losses, we express our deepest regret,” Pentagon spokesman George Little told reporters.

Little said the U.S wants to learn from the mistakes and take any corrective measures needed to make sure such mistakes aren’t repeated.

NATO, Afghanistan and Pakistani forces use the joint border control centers to share information and coordinate security operations.

Pakistani officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment

on the report. Afghan officials also had no immediate comment.

The Pakistani military has said it provided NATO with maps that clearly showed where the border posts were located.

Since the attack, a furious Pakistani government has shut down NATO supply routes to Afghanistan and thrown the U.S. out of its Shamsi Air Base in southwestern Baluchistan province. The base was used to maintain drones deployed in strikes against insurgents hiding in safe havens in Pakistan’s lawless tribal belt on the Afghan frontier.

The Pakistani border closure forced the U.S. and NATO to reorient their entire logistics chains to the so-called Norther n Distribution Network through Russia and Central Asia.

For most of the 10-year war in Afghanistan, 90 percent of supplies shipped to the international force came through Pakistan, via the port of Karachi. But over the past three years, road and rail shipments from NATO’s European members via Russia and the Central Asian nations have expanded, and before the border incident accounted for more than half of all overland deliveries.

United Parcel pilots suing FAA; don’t want to fly tired

WASHINGTON (AP) — United Parcel Service pilots went to court Thursday hoping to make the government include them under new rules designed to ensure airline pilots aren’t too sleepy to fly.

Their union, the Independent Pilots Association, filed a lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration one day after the new rules for passenger airline pilots were

AP: 10,000 US troops leave Afghanistan WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s order to withdraw 10,000 American troops from Afghanistan this year has been accomplished, a little more than a week before the year -end deadline, military of ficials said Thursday.

The drawdown is the first step in the plan to wind down the war, transition security to Afghan forces and end the combat role for inter national troops by the end of 2014.

It also gives the Obama administration a second war -related accomplishment to tout this month — coming just a week after U.S. officials marked the end of the war in Iraq

in the right direction. ...

We’re winning this very tough conflict here in Afghanistan.”

Contrasting that assessment is the ongoing violence in Afghanistan’s east, along the Pakistan border, and the high-profile attacks and assassinations that continue to wreak havoc in and around Kabul. The violence is compounded by worries about government corruption, the fragile economy, and fears that Afghan forces won’t be ready to take over security of the country as American and NATO troops leave.

S u p p o r t t h e U n i t e d Wa y

the FAA has recognized this fact and made an appropriate decision in its new rule.”

Safety advocates urged the FAA for over two decades to update pilot work rules. Researchers say fatigue, much like alcohol, can impair a pilot’s per for mance by slowing reflexes and eroding judgment.

The new passenger airline rules would limit the

maximum time a pilot can be scheduled on duty to between nine and 14 hours; limit scheduled flying time to eight or nine hours; and further limit hours for pilots flying overnight.

The cargo carriers that are exempt do much of their flying overnight, when people naturally crave sleep.

How to create jobs in New Mexico that stay A4 Friday, December 23, 2011

OPINION

SANTA FE — What is the secret to creating jobs? Candidates promise it is their top priority but when legislative sessions roll around, conversations turn elsewhere.

Blogger Joe Monahan is compiling a list. Most of the suggestions presented so far have involved the construction industry or the film industry.

Both of those industries provide somewhat seasonal jobs. But with the state of our state economy, seasonal jobs are just fine. The state has a big pile of capital outlay money sitting around but disagreements in the regular and special sessions this year prevented most of the money from being spent.

The more capital outlay funds that are spent, the more construction jobs we will see. And the beauty is that this is money that doesn’t come directly out of taxpayers’ pockets.

The film industry has been providing a large amount of employment in the last several years.

EDITORIAL

JAY MILLER

INSIDE THE CAPITOL

Lawmakers suggested a thorough study of the rebate system. Gov. Susana Martinez vetoed the legislation and said she would do it herself.

So far, nothing has happened.

Now that the governor’s relationship with the film industry has mysteriously warmed, industry representatives are suggesting a joint study by a well- respected group.

As for other job producers, Gov. Martinez and Republican lawmakers would like to see lower taxes, especially on businesses and the wealthy because they are the ones that create jobs. They also want fewer regulations that might

impede businesses.

Democrats have been trying for several years to force out-of-state corporations to pay taxes on their sales in New Mexico. Current law allows corporations operating in several states to declare New Mexico profits in states that have lower tax rates.

Lobbyists for those corporations have been able to beat down the legislative proposals. That likely will continue. Businesses operating only in New Mexico are disadvantaged by the current arrangement.

In fact, businesses based in New Mexico because they want to be in New Mexico have long been taken completely for granted. Large amounts of money have been spent by the state and local communities on travel and entertainment to lure new business to the state.

Even more money is then spent on tax incentives spread over many years. Big press conferences are held with great media cover-

age. Politicos from the state and local levels show up to share in the credit.

But not many of those jobs remain in the state. Once companies indicate they are movable, other states continually try to entice them into moving again. As soon as a better offer is made, those companies move again.

New Mexico must begin to pay attention to its small companies that already are here because they want to be here. It didn’t take any money to get them here and it won’t cost anything to keep them from moving.

What we need to worry about is keeping them in business and helping them grow. If each of our state’s thousands of small businesses could be helped to add one more employee, the effect would produce many times more jobs than bringing in big companies for a brief stay.

The problem is that it isn’t as sexy. It isn’t as flashy for politicians and no one gets to take

expensive trips or pick up the tab for big meals.

For 10 years a non-profit group in Santa Fe called Santa Fe Economic Development tried to convince state and local governments that growing our own would prove to be more reliable for creating jobs than luring new companies.

Its president, Catherine Zacher, and staff got out in the community and found out who needed help and what kind of help was needed.

Training, networking and loans were arranged. Companies grew.

But the recession brought added pressures. The economic development group’s resources dwindled and no governmental agency was willing to help pick up the slack.

The state must look for ways to help its loyal, home grown businesses with the level of financial resources it spends betting on strangers.

National Opinion Arizona’s immigration law

The U.S. Supreme Court’s review of Arizona’s controversial immigration law will, we hope, provide clarity to states lining up to enact get-tough policies designed to chase illegal residents over the state line.

The legality of Arizona’s law is a more complex question than it might seem at first blush, but we hope the court sees the matter for what it is — an encroachment on the federal government’s mandate to set immigration policy.

The core issue centers on just how far states can go on immigration enforcement issues.

The U.S. Constitution authorized the federal government to “establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization ... throughout the United States.”

Subsequent federal immigration laws acknowledge a role for state officers, but it is explicitly one of cooperation with the U.S. attorney general.

It certainly doesn’t authorize creation of a broad body of state law that is at odds with the federal mission.

From a practical standpoint, if all 50 states were to layer separate immigration laws on top of the federal government’s policy, the nation would have nothing short of a mess.

What the nation’s approach to illegal immigration shouldn’t involve is a patchwork of state laws that would obstruct the federal government’s responsibility to set — and enforce — immigration laws.

U.S. troops leaving Iraq

After almost nine years, the war in Iraq is officially over, at least for American troops.

For Iraqis, the departure of our military is both welcome and nerve-racking. The country has been freed from the brutality of Saddam Hussein, but its security infrastructure remains weak and its nascent democracy is susceptible to control by the anti-American theocracy in Iran.

Still, it was time to leave. The only point in staying would be if this nation were prepared for an indefinite stay in a country whose government wanted us to go. Even the Bush administration wasn’t prepared for that. It was President George W. Bush who agreed to 2011 as the year for troops to come home.

It’s not a perfect departure, given the uncertainties Iraq faces. In the end, this was a war that didn’t need to be fought. Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, in whose shadow the invasion took place. Despite the belief of the Bush administration and much of Congress, there were no weapons of mass destruction.

The outcome of the Iraq war may not become clear for years or even decades. But here’s what is indisputable. The war is over and American troops are on their way home, where they belong.

Welcome back.

Autism-friendly Santas a hit at malls, parties Roswell Daily Record

HARTFORD, Connecticut (AP) — Visiting a shopping mall to share Christmas wishes with Santa had always been too much for 10-year-old Ben Borre, due to the autism that makes the noise, lights and crowds an unbearable torment.

But now a growing number of “sensitive” Santas in shopping centers, at community parties and elsewhere are giving Ben and others a chance to meet the big guy in autism-friendly settings — allowing their families to capture Christmas memories that other families may take for granted.

Ohio-based Glimcher Realty Trust recently started offering sensitive Santa sessions in its two dozen malls nationwide, and service organizations and autism family groups have recruited low-key Kris

Hartford, Ben’s mother.

Ben, a nonverbal fourthgrader, is among the up to 1.5 million Americans living with autism spectrum disorders that can include delays or disabilities in communication, behavior and socialization. They can range from mild difficulties to significant impairments that make it difficult for those children to interact with others.

Many children with autism are especially sensitive to loud noises, jangling music, crowds and unpredictable situations, and could not wait patiently in a long line to see Santa.

of the First Amendment, which says they “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”?

And how many of these restrictions of our religious liberties are direct results of President Obama’s being in office? And if these occurred in just the past six months, imagine what would happen in another four years if Obama were to be re-elected. Our service members, as well as our devoted military Christian chaplains, deserve better.

Gone are the days when the commander in chief rallied the troops and nation with a religious presidential call as Ronald Reagan and Franklin D. Roosevelt did.

FDR declared in his Christmas address to the nation Dec. 24, 1944 (the first Christmas after D-Day): “Here, at home, we will celebrate this Christmas Day in our traditional American way because of its deep spiritual meaning to us; because the teachings of Christ are fundamental in our lives; and because we want our youngest generation to grow up knowing the significance of this tradition and the story of the coming of the immortal Prince of Peace and Good Will. ... We pray that with victory will come a new day of peace on Earth, in which all the nations of the Earth will join together for all time. That is the spirit of Christmas, the holy day. May that spirit live and grow throughout the world in all the years to come.” (Watch Reagan’s 1981 Christmas greeting to the nation on YouTube. It’s titled “Ronald Reagan Christmas address (12/23/81).”)

In many respects, we need to turn back the clock in America to our founding principles, values and liberties, and those include the intricate and pivotal role that religion and Christianity played in our early republic. It is time not to flee religious liberties, but to reembrace them, especially during this sacred Christmas week. I’ll do just that in Part 2 when I specifically share with you the beliefs I know can restore our homes and country.

The sensitive Santa happens to be Ben’s grandfather, Ray Lepak, who was compelled after seeing what his daughter’s family was experiencing.

“Just because a family has a child with special needs doesn’t mean they don’t want all the same memories that everyone else does,” Borre said. “We all want those same holiday joyful moments; it just has to be approached differently.”

Lepak, 69, of Manchester recently donned his Santa suit — plus a brand-new beard and snow-white wig — and met with several Hartford-area children and their parents. He’s learned over the years how to pep it up for siblings who don’t have autism, and how to tone it down for children who seem overwhelmed.

He starts with a few mellow “Ho, Ho, Ho” greetings, watches for those who are intrigued, and smiles or beckons to them to come closer. Many steer clear but watch him, either curiously or warily, while others remain disinterested.

“You’ll see them watch Santa out of the corner of their eye, then little by little they’ll come closer, then walk away as if you’re not there, and come back in a bit,” Lepak said. “It’s really about following their lead and communicating on their terms.”

Some will give him a high five; the braver ones might sit on his lap. At the recent gathering, one child had no interest at all in Santa until

A growing number of malls also are setting aside special times for sensitive Santa visits when the shopping centers would otherwise be closed.

A recent autism-friendly Santa visit at its Northtown Mall in Blaine, Minnesota, just outside of Minneapolis, drew 55 children despite poor weather, and last year drew more than 100.

Linda Sell, Northtown’s marketing director, said the two-hour window on a recent Sunday mor ning was devoid of lines and the bustle of a regular Santa visit. Instead, children could play and color nearby until their number was called.

Sell said they also turned off the Christmas music, dimmed the lights, sent maintenance workers and other potential distractions away, and asked parents to fill out a form to give Santa the heads up on the boys’ and girls’ wish lists.

NATION/RECORDS

Average 30-year mortgage rate a record 3.91%

WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage fell to a record 3.91 percent this week, the third time this year that rates have hit new lows.

Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average on the 30-year home loan fell from 3.94 percent the previous week. The 3.91 percent rate is the lowest average for long-ter m fixed mortgages on records dating to the 1950s The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage was unchanged this week at 3.21 percent. That’s also a record.

Low rates of fer a historic opportunity for those who can af ford to buy a home or refinance. But many Americans either can’t take advantage of the rates or have already done so.

Rates have been below 5 per-

cent for all but two weeks in 2011. Even so, this year is shaping up to be one of the worst ever for home sales.

Rates could fall further still.

Many economists think the yield on the 10-year T reasury note could creep lower in 2012. Longterm mortgage rates tend to track the 10-year Treasury yield.

Should the Federal Reserve launch a new program of bond purchases in the coming months to try to help the economy, it could further drive down mortgage rates.

Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, has said that despite the super-low loan rates, foreclosures and falling home values have created obstacles for would-be buyers.

But builders could see more

interest from buyers in the coming months if mortgage rates stay low. The low rates contributed to a modest 2-point increase in builder sentiment in the latest National Association of Home Builders survey released this month, said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an analyst at BNP Paribas. Those rates, coupled with falling prices, could draw more people into the market, she said.

Sales of previously occupied homes are just slightly ahead of last year’s dismal sales figures.

New-home sales appear headed for their worst year on records going back half a century.

Mortgage applications fell about 2.6 percent last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinancing fell 1.6 percent. And loan applica-

tions to buy homes fell nearly 5 percent. Over the past four weeks, the level of mortgage applications has been relatively unchanged.

Some lenders have reported an increase in applications through the Obama administration’s refinancing program. That program was broadened in October to allow up to 1 million more homeowners lower their mortgage payments. But the MBA said such gover nment-assisted loans account for just a small portion of refinancing.

High unemployment and scant wage gains have made it harder for many people to qualify for loans. Many Americans don’t want to sink money into a home that they fear could lose value over the next few years.

To calculate the average rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country Monday through Wednesday of each week.

The average rates don’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for the 30-year loan fell to 0.7 from 0.8; the average on the 15-year fixed mortgage was unchanged at 0.8.

For the five-year adjustable loan, the average rate fell to 2.85 percent from 2.86 percent. The average on the one-year adjustable loan declined to 2.77 percent from 2.81 percent.

The average fees on the fiveand one-year adjustable-rate loans were unchanged at 0.6.

Unemployment applications lowest since April 2008 plan to hire than at any time in three years, a trade group said last week.

A separate private-sector survey found more companies are planning to add workers than at any time since 2008.

Overall economic growth appears to be tracking the job market’s improvement.

The economy was barely growing when the year started. In the final quarter, growth might exceed 3 percent, up from 2 percent in the July-September period.

Still, applications for unemployment benefits are above the level needed to lower the unemployment rate significantly.

The four -week moving average for new claims has exceeded that number since June 2008. Unemployment has been above

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people applying for unemployment benefits dropped last week to its lowest level since April 2008, extending a downward trend that shows the job market strengthening.

The Labor Deaprtment said Thursday that new applications for unemployment benefits fell last week by 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 364,000.

It was the third straight weekly decrease.

The four -week moving average, a less volatile measure, fell for the 11th time in 13 weeks. At 380,250, it was the lowest average since June 2008.

Applications generally must consistently fall below 375,000 before hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment

rate.

Unemployment applications are a measure of the pace of layoffs. Job cuts have fallen sharply since the recession, though employers have been slow to start hiring.

The declining number of applications suggests that the economy may finally be regaining strength, two and a half long years after the end of the Great Recession. The nation added at least 100,000 jobs every month from July through November, the first five-month streak since 2006.

In the past three months, employers have added an average of 143,000 net jobs a month.

That compares with an average of 84,000 in the previous three months.

amount through private donations.

The repairs recommended by the report include reinforcing the cracks with stainless steel plates and filling them with sealant; replacing as many loose pieces of marble as possible and shoring them up with steel anchors or mortar; and cleaning and re-sealing all joints in the top portion of the monument to keep water out.

The report also recommends a seismic study to gauge the monument’s vulnerability to future earth-

quakes.

While the monument structurally remains sound, the cracks left it so exposed that after rainstor ms, “a substantial amount of standing water collects on the floors of the display and observation levels,” the report found.

The inspection found six cracks that extend through the full thickness of the marble panels that form the exterior of the monument’s pyramidion, the uppermost portion of the obelisk where it begins narrowing to a point. Cracks

not complete and that some errors could have gone undetected.

There are potentially thousands of minor errors, including misspelled names, or incorrect military ranks and dates of birth and death.

The Ar my compared information on every headstone to its inter nal records, scouring handwritten logs of the dead from the Civil War and a hodgepodge of other records to verify accuracy.

In an interview, the cemetery’s executive director, Kathryn Condon, said reviews are ongoing and it’s premature to try to estimate exactly how many headstones may need replacement.

To be sure, many of the 64,000 discrepancies will turn up no problem with a headstone — it may be as

simple as a typo on an inter nal record. And in many cases, the discrepancies are not errors at all but reflect past practices at the cemetery that are now considered outdated.

One of the biggest surprises uncovered by the review was that in most of the early 20th century, the cemetery did not include the name of a wife on a headstone when she was buried next to her husband. Under current practices, the name of the spouse is etched onto the back of the headstone.

Condon said the cemetery will correct that by adding the spouse’s name to the gravesite. She said it is not only the right thing to do but is also required by law.

Accounting for the forgotten spouses alone will require thousands of cor-

rections, officials said. In some cases, replacement headstones will be made.

In cases where the headstones are considered historic, footstones will be added.

The Army and a team of 70 analysts are undertaking painstaking reviews of every case where they find a potential discrepancy to ensure that records are made accurate. Those reviews are expected to be completed in the summer.

The process began with a hand count, using simple mechanical clickers, of every gravesite — 259,978 to be exact. (More than 300,000 people are buried at Arlington, but some grave markers have two or more names.) Then, during the summer, members of the Army’s ceremonial Old Guard unit used iPhones to photograph the

front and back of every headstone, so the information could be compared against internal records.

John Schrader, co-chair of the Gravesite Accountability Task Force, said recordkeeping methods varied widely over the cemetery’s 147-year history, from handwritten logs to index cards, to typewritten forms and two different computer databases.

That sometimes compounded problems, as transcription errors were common. To avoid those problems, all of the old records have been scanned and digitized, rather than transcribed, to avoid introducing further errors, he said.

The sheer size of the cemetery also made the task difficult. It is the second-largest cemetery in the country as well as a

8 percent for almost three years.

Before the recession, there generally were 280,000 to 350,000 new applications for unemployment benefits each week.

The number peaked at 659,000 in March 2009.

The unemployment rate fell in November to 8.6 percent from 9 percent, but about half that decline occurred because many of the unemployed gave up looking for work, and were no longer counted as unemployed.

And weak hiring doesn’t always appear in unemployment claims data.

Employers slashed payrolls deeply during the recession. If they’re worried about the slow pace of recovery, they may hold off layof fs, but not hire, either.

Report details quake damage to Washington Monument People wait to talk with potential employers at a job fair sponsored by National Career Fairs, in New York, Dec. 12.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The earthquake-damaged Washington Monument has extensive cracking and chipped stones near its peak that left it highly vulnerable to rainfall, and inspectors found cracks and loose stones along the entire length of the 555foot structure, according to a report released Thursday by the National Park Service.

The report was prepared by the engineering fir m whose employees rappelled down the sides of the monument in September to

inspect the damage. It of fers the most detailed portrait yet of damage to the 127-year -old monument, which has been closed to visitors since a 5.8-magnitude earthquake shook the nation’s capital on Aug. 23.

The report does not estimate how long repairs would take or how much they would cost. The federal spending bill approved last week allocates $7.5 million to fix the monument, with the understanding that the National Park Service will raise an equal

and chipped or loose stones, found all along the structure, were more concentrated at the 450-foot mark and above.

The largest piece of stone to become dislodged was in the interior of the monument and weighed more than 200 pounds.

The corners of the pyramidion, which are topped by metal lightning rods, sustained particularly complex damage, and the entire lightning protection apparatus will need to be removed so that portions can be replaced before it is

reinstalled, the report says.

There is no timetable for repairing and reopening the monument. The park service plans to solicit bids for the work, and it’s not clear whether the monument could reopen before repairs have concluded.

Construction began on the monument in 1848 and, after an interruption during the Civil War, it was completed in 1884. It remains the tallest structure in Washington and was the world’s tallest manmade structure until it was eclipsed by the Eiffel Tower.

Army: Some Arlington markers may need replacement ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — Thousands of grave markers at Arlington National Cemetery may need to be replaced or added to accurately account for the dead, following a meticulous Army review of each of the nearly 260,000 headstones and niche covers on the grounds.

In a report to Congress on Thursday, the Ar my found potential discrepancies between headstones and cemetery paperwork on about 64,000 grave markers — about one in four.

Congress ordered the review last year following reports of misidentified and misplaced graves that led to the ouster of the cemetery’s top executives.

The report found no further evidence of misplaced graves, though it cautioned that its review is

The most significant part of the review, Condon said, is that the cemetery for the first time has a single, reliable database that will allow officials to fix past mistakes and plan for the future.

The cemetery is currently testing an interactive, web-based version of its database that will allow visitors to click on a digital map to see gravesites and learn who is buried there, ensuring the cemetery’s records are open and accessible going forward.

The speaker was initially open to the idea, but rank-and-file Republicans revolted, and the Fry estimated projected costs of implementing a new HVAC system to be a little more than $138,000. Including tax, the project will cost $148,000.

MISTIC filed two requests with the city concerning its HVAC. The first was an abatement request and the latter an UDAG loan request.

“Rent abatement means that they are going to use part of their rental payment toward this amount.

In fact the city pays that half because we’re getting less rent during that time, that’s what the abatement means. So we would be giving up approximately $69,000 or $70,000 in rent during that time and then they would repay $69,000 or $70,000 in addition to that over what they would pay in their rent otherwise,” Fry told the Daily Record earlier this week.

After Senate leaders tried but failed to match the House’s goal for a full-year pact, the chamber on Saturday instead gave sweeping approval for the twomonth extension of the payroll tax cut, jobless benefits and doctors’ Medicare fees that otherwise would have been cut 27 percent.

rant for Sunni Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi for what al-Hashemi says are trumped-up charges that he ran hit squads against government officials.

That has thrown Iraq’s political community into a crisis, with Sunnis suspicious that al-Maliki is making a power grab in the wake of the American military departure.

Thrown into this already heated mixture was some of the worst violence Iraq has seen this year.

At least 16 blasts went of f across Baghdad, killing 69 people and wounding nearly 200 more. Most exploded in the morning but at least two struck Thursday evening.

The deadliest attack was in the Karrada neighborhood, where a suicide bomber driving an explosives-laden vehicle blew himself up outside a government office. Two police officers at the scene said the bomber was driving an ambulance and told guards that he needed to get to a nearby hospital.

After the guards let him through, he drove to the building and blew himself up, the officers said.

In Washington, the

Friday, December 23, 2011 emerged as a firewall erected by tea party-backed House Republicans crumbled Thursday.

The Republican establishment, too, put new pressure on House Republicans to compromise.

The 2008 GOP presidential nominee, John McCain, former Bush administration confidant Karl Rove and The Wall Street Journal editorial page were among conservative voices urging House Republicans to retreat.

Just hours before he announced the breakthrough, Boehner had made the case for a yearlong extension. But on a brief late afternoon conference call, he informed his colleagues it was time to yield.

“He said that as your White House condemned the bombings and said attempts to derail progress in Iraq will fail.

Press secretary Jay Carney said the attacks serve no agenda “other than murder and hatred.”

Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama’s point man on Iraq, called President Jalal Talabani to discuss the situation. It was Biden’s second round of phone calls to Iraqi officials this week.

Gen. Ray Odierno, the U.S. Army chief of staff, also visited Baghdad Thursday in what was described as a trip arranged before the political crisis erupted.

It was exactly this type of violence in the early days after the U.S.-led invasion that eventually spiraled into a near-civil war. Sunni militants such as al-Qaida saw Iraq as their battleground against first the U.S. and then Shiites, whom they do not consider as true Muslims.

Shiite militias, fired up by years of anger over repression under Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-dominated regime, then fought back in what eventually became a tit-for-tat battle fought mainly across Baghdad. A bombing against a Shiite neighborhood would be answered by residents of a Sunni

leader, you’ve in ef fect asked me to make decisions easy and difficult and I’m making my decision right now,” said Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., paraphrasing Boehner’s comments.

Kingston said the conference call lasted just minutes and Boehner did not give anyone time to respond.

There was still carping among tea party freshmen upset that GOP leaders had yielded.

House Republicans did win one concession in addition to a promise that Senate Democrats would name negotiators on the one-year House measure: a provision to ease concerns that the 60-day extension would be hard for payroll processing companies to implement. neighborhood being dragged out and shot.

That’s the type of reaction that analysts say alQaida is trying to spark with violence such as Thursday’s blasts. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the bombings bore all the hallmarks of al-Qaida’s Sunni insurgents: a mix of sticky bombs, a suicide bomber, roadside blasts and car bombs.

Al-Qaida in Iraq is severely debilitated from its strength in the early years of the war, but still has the capability to launch coordinated and deadly assaults from time to time. U.S. military officials worried about a resurgence of al-Qaida after their departure.

If Sunnis feel invested in the political process and see that they have a future within it, analysts say it’s unlikely that alQaida and its ilk could gain much traction within the wider Sunni community, especially after the bloodbath that Iraqis have already endured and are not eager to repeat.

Many Sunnis fear the arrest warrant against alHashemi is part of a wider campaign to go after Sunni political figures and shore up Shiite control across the country.

Wal-Mart pulls formula after baby dies

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Wal-Mart and health officials awaited tests Thursday on a batch of powdered infant for mula that was removed from more than 3,000 stores nationwide after a Missouri newborn who consumed it apparently died from a rare infection.

The source of the bacteria that caused the infection has not been determined, but it occurs naturally in the environment and in plants such as wheat and rice. The most worrisome appearances have been in dried milk and powdered for mula, which is why manufacturers routinely test for the germs.

The for mula has not been recalled, and the manufacturer said tests showed the batch was negative for the bacteria before

it was shipped. Additional tests were under way.

Customers who bought formula in 12.5-ounce cans with the lot number ZP1K7G have the option of returning them for a refund or exchange, Wal-Mart spokeswoman Dianna Gee said.

The product is not exclusive to Wal-Mart. The manufacturer, Mead Johnson Nutrition, declined to answer questions about whether formula from that batch was distributed to other stores.

A second infant fell ill late last month after consuming several different types of powdered baby for-

mula, but that child recovered, health officials said.

Powdered infant formula is not sterile, and experts have said there are not adequate methods to completely remove or kill all bacteria that might creep into formula before or during production.

A spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration said the agency is investigating the death, along with the Centers for Disease Control and the Missouri Department of Health. Investigators have collected samples from the family and are testing unopened for mula purchased at stores.

New FAA rules to help end flying while sleepy

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government told passenger airlines Wednesday they’ll have to do more to ensure pilots aren’t too tired to fly, nearly three years after the deadly western New York crash of a regional airliner flown by two exhausted pilots.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s update of airline pilot work rules, some of which dated to the 1960s, reflects a better understanding of the need for rest and how night shifts and traveling through time zones can increase errors.

“This is a big deal,” Trans-

portation Secretary Ray LaHood said. “This is as far as our government has ever gone” to protect the traveling public from pilot fatigue.

Carriers have two years to adapt to the new rules. The FAA estimated the cost to industry at $297 million over 10 years, a fraction of the $2 billion a year that an airline trade association had estimated the draft proposal released by FAA over a year ago would cost.

The airline industry had opposed the draft rule as too costly for the safety benefits it would achieve. But FAA officials made substantial

changes to the final rule to lower the cost. Several expensive reporting and training requirements were eliminated.

Safety advocates have been urging FAA for more than two decades to update pilot work rules, but previous efforts stalled after airlines and pilots unions were unable to agree on changes.

Those efforts were revived after the February 2009 crash near Buffalo that killed 50 people. Families of the dead have lobbied relentlessly for more stringent regulations to fight pilot fatigue.

The rules would limit the

maximum time a pilot can be scheduled to be on duty — including wait time before flights and administrative duties — to between nine and 14 hours. The total depends on the time of day pilots begin their first flight and the number of time zones crossed.

The maximum amount of time pilots can be scheduled to fly is limited to eight or nine hours, and pilots would get a minimum of 10 hours to rest between duty periods, a two-hour increase over the

old rules. The minimum amount of time off between work weeks will be increased 25 percent, and there will be new limits on how many hours per month pilots can fly. Pilots flying overnight would be allowed fewer hours than pilots flying during the day.

But cargo carriers — which do much of their flying overnight when people naturally crave sleep — are exempted from the new rules. The FAA said forcing cargo carriers to reduce the

number of hours their pilots can fly would be too costly when compared with the safety benefits.

Imposing the rules on cargo airlines like Federal Express or United Parcel Service would have added another $214 million to the cost, FAA officials said.

The exemption for cargo carriers, which runs counter to the FAA’s goal of “one level of safety” across the aviation industry, drew strong criticism from pilots unions.

Some people think that this is what Christmas is all about, Santa, Christmas trees, cookies, parties, and gifts.

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Savior of the world!

One more year for Barkley at USC Section

Roswell Daily Record

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley believed he was prepared to play in the NFL and the draft prognosticators agreed with him.

He had skillfully guided the program through two years of NCAA sanctions, and put up big numbers to add his name to the list of great T rojans quarterbacks.

Barkley just wasn’t ready to leave. He still had some unfinished business at USC. Setting of f a round of cheers at USC’s Heritage Hall, Barkley announced Thursday that he’s returning for his senior season, putting off the NFL for a chance to lead the Trojans from under the cloud of NCAA sanctions to a BCS bowl.

“I am staying so I can finish what I started,” Barkley said.

At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds and with a game that matured over three years at Troy, Barkley was projected as a high firstround draft pick in the NFL draft, an enticement that had lured his predecessor, Mark Sanchez, after his junior season.

Instead of following Sanchez’s footsteps, Barkley took the route of former USC quarterback Matt Leinart and Stanford’s Andrew Luck.

Leinart returned to USC after winning the Heisman T rophy and a national championship, and led the Trojans to the 2005 BCS title game, where they lost

Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley announces that he is forgoing the opportunity to make himself available for the NFL draft and will play his senior year during a press conference in Los Angeles, Thursday.

to Texas. Luck came back this season after being the Heisman runner -up last year and took the Cardinal to the Fiesta Bowl while finishing second to Baylor’s Robert Griffin III in this year’s Heisman voting.

Like those two, Barkley felt as if he still had goals he wanted to accomplish after leading the Trojans to a 10-2 record and No. 5 in The Associated Press poll.

Barkley let USC coach Lane Kiffin know about his decision with a Christmas ornament that had a picture of the two together during this season’s game against Colorado on one side and the words “One More Year” on the back.

His announcement Thursday in front of about 200 people, including his family and Kiffin, set off rousing cheers and a quick burst from USC’s band as

a group of cheerleaders danced along.

“That’s not an easy decision,” Kif fin said. “Not many people would do what Matt has done.”

Barkley is the latest in a heralded lineup of USC quarterbacks that includes Carson Palmer, Leinart and Sanchez.

He had an uneven first season with the Trojans, making some questionable decisions that led to 14

interceptions.

Still, Barkley threw for over 2,700 yards and 15 touchdowns to become the only freshman semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s best quarterback.

Barkley developed into a mature leader by his sophomore season, again throwing for over 2,700 yards, with 26 TDs, a completion rate of 62 percent and 12 interceptions.

McGahee revitalizes career with Broncos

NETS’ LOPEZ TO HAVE SURGERY ON FOOT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Nets will be without center and leading scorer Brook Lopez for a couple of months because of a broken right foot.

Lopez, who did not miss a game in his first three seasons, was injured during an exhibition game against the Knicks on Wednesday and he will have surgery Friday.

The injury is a stress fracture to the slow-healing fifth metatarsal, the same kind of injury that New York Giants first-round draft pick Prince Amukamara suffered on Aug. 6 in training camp. He did not play in a game until Nov. 20.

“I had a long talk with Brook last night,” coach Avery Johnson said. “He is not in great spirits but we tried to lift his spirits to let him know that, hey, this is a little bit of a setback but he could definitely have a bigtime comeback. Hopefully, once we get through with the surgery and get back to rehabbing and he can heal up and we can get him back at some point this season.”

Lopez, who averaged 20.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists last season as the Nets posted a 24-58 record, played in the second half with the injury.

Johan Petro is his backup, although the injury might force general manager Billy King to explore some trade options.

The Nets would not say how long Lopez will be sidelined but a medical expert said it would be from six to 12 weeks, but it has the potential of being longer, depending on the degree of the stress fracture.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — A change in scenery and eating habits has done wonders for Willis McGahee.

By playing in a run-friendly system, along with reuniting with his former position coach, the Denver Broncos tailback has revitalized his career. McGahee, who even eliminated red meat from his diet to become leaner, is on the cusp of his first 1,000-yard season in four years.

A surprise? Maybe to some.

But not to running backs coach Eric Studesville, who lobbied hard for the Broncos to sign the free agent just before camp.

Sure, McGahee was coming off a pedestrian 380-yard season for Baltimore in 2010, but Studesville saw flashes of the vision, the power and the quick feet that made McGahee a two-time 1,000-yard back when they were paired in Buffalo.

Studesville campaigned vigorously on McGahee’ behalf.

The Broncos listened and were rewarded.

“I see the same intense competitor that’s always been there,” said Studesville, whose protege has 990 yards rushing this season.

At first, McGahee’s transition to a new team was slow to take root. Without an offseason to get acclimated to his surSee DENVER, Page B2

LEFT: Dallas quarterback Tony Romo watches the action from the sidelines during a game against Tampa Bay, Sunday.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Reggie Wayne will always remember Thursday night’s catch.

The man with the expiring contract caught a 1yard touchdown pass from Dan Orlovsky with 19 seconds left, giving the Colts their only lead of the game in a 19-16 victory over AFC South champion Houston, 19-16.

It’s the second straight win for the Colts (2-13), who will now have to fight off St. Louis and Minnesota for the No. 1 overall draft pick. Orlovsky, who played the last two seasons with Houston, also won his second straight game after losing his first nine NFL starts.

Houston was in a position to come to Indianapolis and simply tune up for the postseason.

Not a chance.

The Texans looked anything but playoff-ready.

They settled for two field goals in the red zone, didn’t convert a third down until getting a lucky bounce late in the fourth quarter, its running game was stymied late and the defense helped the Colts with three penalties on the decisive drive.

Houston (11-4) is now 010 in Indianapolis and still hunting for a first-round bye. The Texans still haven’t scored more than 20 points in a game since Nov. 27.

Moreno pulled a hamstring in a season-opening loss to the Raiders, giving McGahee the opening he needed.

his passes for 869 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions in that stretch. He has 22 TDs with only four picks his last 10 games.

“I tell you what, he’s playing very, very good football right now,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said.

“It’s a tribute to him and that whole offense there, but he’s putting that ball into small windows, doing a nice job with it.”

After the Cowboys swept through their four November games, improving Romo’s career record

as a starter in that month to 19-2, they lost their first two games in December when they missed field goals at the end of regulation in both.

Romo has a 10-14 record overall in December, and has never won more than two games in the last month of the calendar year. But his eight TDs this month are already more than he’s ever had in December.

“It’s about us going out and winning football games, so I don’t think about any individual stats

dium, on Saturday.

The Broncos (8-6) are tantalizingly close to securing their first playoff spot since the 2005 season, with the easiest scenario being simply winning this weekend and again in the finale when they host Kyle Orton and the Kansas City Chiefs.

“There’s a sense of urgency. We’re trying to get the organization to where it was back in the late ’90s,” McGahee said, referring to

when the team won back-toback Super Bowl titles.

McGahee needs just 10 yards to join Ricky Watters as the only NFL backs to turn in 1,000-yard seasons with three different teams.

What’s more, McGahee’s six 100-yard games this year are tied for the most in the league.

That should get his name in the running for comeback player of the year, right?

“Nope,” he said.

or any of that stuf f,” Romo said. “Any time you step on the field, you’ve got to have confidence in your abilities as a team and, obviously, individually. Our team continues to grow and get better.”

Romo, in his sixth season as the Cowboys starter, got his first playoff victory two years ago when the Cowboys beat the Eagles in the regularseason finale and then again the following week in the NFC wildcard game.

In 2006, after Romo

became the starter seven games into the season, the Cowboys lost 21-20 in the playof fs at Seattle when Romo flubbed the hold on a short field-goal attempt and was tackled short of the end zone trying to scramble for a score. A year later in the postseason, the Cowboys were home as the No. 1 seed after a bye week and lost 27-21 to the Giants after Romo’s fourth-down pass with 9 seconds left was intercepted in the end zone.

How come?

“You have to be hurt” to get that, he explained. “I never went anywhere. So, I’m not a comeback player.”

The burly ninth-year running back was eager to sign with Denver and envisioned lots of carries in coach John Fox’s run-oriented offense.

After the team struggled to a 1-4 start under Orton, Tim Tebow took over.

Out went the ball-control offense.

In its place has been the read-option, which better suits Tebow’s particular skill set.

Turns out, it suits McGahee pretty well, too. He’s thrived in this system, even rushing for 163 yards in Oakland last month, the second-highest output of his career. He also broke off a 60-yard TD scamper in that win over the Raiders, showing he still possessed a quick-strike capability.

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

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Deal with another person directly. You might feel quite irritated with this person. Clear the air if you want to manifest the loving vibes of the next few days. Avoid sarcastic comments; they will be remembered. Center on your feelings.

Tonight: Togetherness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone knocks on your door, and yet another person does the same. Your popularity soars, and you feel much more connected than you have in a long time. You will need to make space to complete a certain task. Join a partner or friend to finish last-minute errands. Tonight: Say "yes."

Colbert offering $500K to pay for SC GOP primary

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Comedian Stephen Colbert is offering to pay half a million dollars to help subsidize South Carolina’s first-in-the-South GOP presidential primary, as state officials struggle to pay for it, but there’s doubt whether it would even be legal.

The Charleston native wrote in an op-ed Thursday in The State newspaper in Columbia that Colbert Super PAC — a type of political action committee that allows him to raise unlimited amounts of money from corporations, unions and individuals — will bridge the gap after state Republicans refused to contribute anything above $180,000 collected in candidates’ filing fees.

The state Election Commission, which administers South Carolina’s voting, has said it has $1 million on hand for the primary but is short of the total $1.5 million price tag.

Spokesman Chris Whitmire says the Commission has notified budget officials the state may need to seek permission to run a deficit to fund the primary.
