WEEK 16 PREVIEW

The last time the Detroit Lions were this close to the playoffs, Barry Sanders was in their backfield.

Sanders now is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a place few if any of the recent Lions will end up. His former team has been rebuilt by GM Martin Mayhew and coach Jim Schwartz, and a win over San Diego on Saturday will secure Detroit an NFC wild-card slot.

Since making the postseason in 1999 at 8-8 — one year after Sanders retired — the Lions have had one winning year (9-7 in 2000) and six last-place finishes.

Roswell will receive a white Christmas with all the difficult driving conditions that snow entails. At 8 a.m., Friday, Roswell Fire Department’s Deputy Chief Chad Hamill said they had already worked three accidents since the day shift started at 7:30 a.m.

By 9 a.m., the Roswell Police were working five dif ferent accident calls around the city and with an additional two received in the county.

An hour later, the New Mexico State Police offices in Roswell reported a total of 20 ongoing accident investigations, including three rollovers. Highway 70 to Clovis and Portales, and Highway 285, Roswell

to Vaughn were closed.

Statewide, six highways were reported closed as of noon on Friday, including I-25, I-40, U.S. 550, NM 102, U.S. 102, U.S. 64/87. Severe driving conditions were noted on U.S. 56, and in those areas along I-40 and 1-25 that were still open. Difficult driving conditions were

Four-hundred twentysix needy families in Roswell were given a reason to be thankful this Christmas.

This week, the Roswell Corps of The Salvation Army completed its food and toy distributions through the Angel Tree program. This decades-

old tradition provides food to families, and toys for those families with children, aged newborn to 17 years.

Capt. Mandy Perez said last year the program aided more than 300 families. Noting the growth, Perez said the recession and increased community awareness resulted in the higher number of families being helped this year.

Families signed up in November to receive donations through the program. When they came in, families had to present ID for all members, including children, a proof of address and their household income.

Perez said it was really easy to qualify for the program. The Roswell

Payroll tax cut lives on: Congress gives its approval

WASHINGTON (AP) — After weeks of bickering and doubt, Congress delivered a last-minute holiday tax cut extension to 160 million workers Friday along with further unemployment benefits for millions laid off in the nation’s fierce recession and weak economic recovery. It was a convincing victory for President Barack Obama, a humbling retreat for House

Republicans.

Back-to-back voice vote approvals of the two-month special measure by the Senate and House came in mere seconds with no debate, just days after House Republican leaders had insisted that full-blown negotiations on a full-year bill were the only way to prevent an immediate tax increase on Jan. 1.

Most members of Con-

gress were already gone for the holidays, leaving behind just a few legislators to take formal action.

Obama was leaving in the after noon for a delayed vacation in Hawaii.

The measure passed despite lingering grumbling from tea party Republicans.

It buys time for talks early next year on how to finance the year -long extensions.

It will keep in place a 2

percentage point cut in the payroll tax — a salary boost of about $20 a week for an average worker making $50,000 a year — and prevent almost 2 million unemployed people from losing jobless benefits averaging $300 a week.

Senate and House Republican leaders did gain a major win last week, winning a provision that would require Obama to make a

swift decision on whether to approve construction of the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL oil pipeline. To stop construction, Obama, who had wanted to put the decision off until after the 2012 election, would have to declare that it was not in the nation’s interest.

Nancy Pirtle has been an important part of many of the most cherished and unforgettable life events of Roswell residents for almost six decades.

After 59 years of contributing a soundtrack to weddings, funerals and Sunday worship services, Pirtle is retiring her post as church organist for Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Aside from her work as a church organist, Pirtle is one of Roswell’s musical inspirations, who has taught scores of people how to play piano and organ over the years.

Her journey to becoming part of Roswell’s musical tradition began in Los

Angeles, where Nancy Pirtle, nee Welch, was born.

Her parents discovered her musical ability by coincidence when Pirtle was only 5 years old. At the time, her family visited relatives who had a 12-year-old daughter who played piano. The girl offered to play for them.

“I’m told I heard every mistake she made and commented on each one,” Pirtle recalled with a laugh.

“My parents realized I had some musical ability and started me on lessons.”

Roswell Daily Record

Obama on political high, but momentum hard to keep WASHINGTON (AP) — On a political high, President Barack Obama capped a bruising year by securing a tax cut for millions of Americans — an achievement that overshadowed Washington’s deepening dysfunction and the slow progress of the economy on his watch.

The White House has ended a year with a political victory before. This time around the stakes are higher, and the president is by no means assured of carrying the momentum deep into an election year.

Addressing reporters before heading to Hawaii on Friday, Obama looked like a president in command of the stage again, for now. He left the capital after presiding over a twomonth extension of a payroll tax cut — about $40 per paycheck for someone making $50,000 a year — that came when House Republicans caved on demands for a longer deal.

Yet on this issue, like many, enor mous work remains for Obama after the new year, just when voters begin choosing a Republican nominee to try to oust him from his job.

Obama initially had pushed for a year -long extension of both the Social Security payroll tax

cut and unemployment benefits. He got only two months on both because Congress could not agree on how to pay the bill for more without gutting their own political priorities — the same problem that awaits all sides in the weeks to come.

Although Obama calls a full-year extension a “formality,” politically, it is not. So he pushed Congress to work “without drama, without delay” when they retur n from their own recess.

The whole scene was reminiscent of a year ago, when Obama took a selfdescribed “shellacking” in the midterm elections but still ended up leaving for his yearly Hawaiian holiday on a high note.

In a news conference at the time, a jubilant Obama claimed a “season of progress” after stringing together legislative victories in a lame-duck congressional session, including the repeal of the military’s ban on openly gay service members and approval of a new nuclear treaty with Russia.

But progress was shortlived. Obama returned to Washington in January to face a divided Congress and a Republican party prepared to push him to

the brink.

This time, Obama left without taking questions from reporters, ensuring no disruption from the narrative all over Washington — a win for him, a capitulation for House Republicans. Had he engaged the press, Obama may well have been challenged about violence in Iraq since a U.S. troop withdrawal, or his own flip-flop over an oil pipeline included in the tax deal.

Obama may have won the messaging war this December, preventing higher taxes for 160 million Americans. But he gave up plenty to get a deal.

In securing the shortter m extension, Obama caved on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. The president had boldly said he would reject any effort to tie the payroll tax extension to the proposed Canada-to-Texas pipeline; he later gave in to GOP demands to make a decision on the project within 60 days.

Given that the House Republicans’ backpedaling far overshadowed the president’s compromises, GOP consultant John Feehery said Republican lawmakers are likely to come

back to Washington in January even more motivated to take on the president.

“This is a temporary victory,” Feehery said. “We’re going to go back to the fight once again in a month and a half. This is one battle, not the whole war.”

Obama’s willingness to stand firm could help rally support among Democrats who have complained that the president too often seems to give in too much.

Obama’s hard line at the end of the payroll tax cut talks sent an important message both to his supporters and Republicans, Democratic strategist Karen Finney said. She said both have misinterpreted Obama’s prior compromises as a sign of weakness.

“In this instance it was certainly critical that the president not give any more ground,” Finney said. “He showed that he does have a point at which he won’t go farther.”

The economy has been showing signs of coming around, too, which is vital to Obama’s chances for a second term. But this is another area in which today’s optimism can turn troubling at any time, with outside forces such as

President Barack Obama speaks about the payroll tax cut at the White House, Friday.

Europe’s economic woes threatening to dampen the American recovery.

Each year, partisan debate and unfinished business have forced the president to delay departure for his cherished Christmas vacation in Hawaii. This December’s stalemate threatened to derail the trip entirely, given that Obama himself pledged to stay in Washington until a deal to extend the cuts was reached.

Obama’s original Dec. 17 departure date came and went.

It was only Friday, after the House and Senate finalized the deal, that the White House announced

Obama’s departure for later in the day.

The president has no public events planned during what is expected to be about a 10-day vacation.

He typically spends his days in Hawaii playing golf or going to the beach with his family, though he makes occasional outings for dinner with friends.

The White House says the president’s focus will be on spending time with his family. But there will be a small team of advisers traveling with Obama to brief him daily on domestic and international events — and to help him get ready for the work, and the battles, that wait in January.

Santa Claus passes new poll with flying colors Roswell Daily Record

First lady Michelle Obama and Santa Claus at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, Dec. 12.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Why do kids believe a chubby guy in a flying sleigh can deliver joy across America? Because their parents do. A whopping 84 percent of grown-ups were once children who trusted in Santa’s magic, and lots cling to it still.

Things are changing fast these days, with toddlers wishing for iPads, grade schoolers emailing their Christmas lists and moms wrestling over bargain toys at midnight sales. Despite all the pressures on the rituals of the season, an APGfK poll confirms that families are sticking by old St. Nick.

“It’s important for kids to

have something to believe in,” says great-grandmother Wanda Smith of Norman, Okla.

And so they do. Year after year, Santa Claus survives the scoffers and the Scrooges and the 6-year old playground skeptics. He endures belittling commercials that portray him shopping at Target or taking directions from an iPhone. He shrugs of f scolds who say his bagful of toys overshadows the reason for the season.

Two-thirds of parents with kids under 18 say Santa’s an important part of their celebrations this year. Moms, especially, have a soft spot for the

man in red — 71 percent of them say he’s important, and that’s a big jump from 58 percent just five years ago.

His overall popularity is up slightly from an AP-AOL poll in 2006, before the recession hit. In these bleaker times of homes lost to foreclosure and parents sweating out their next paychecks, the poll shows Santa riding high with families both wealthy and poor.

Maybe that’s because the big guy’s always known how to stretch a dollar to make a kid smile.

Smith, whose childhood gifts were mostly handmade by her mother — things like cookies and knit scarves — remembers that every year Santa Claus managed to put one present under the tree for her to share with her two brothers (four more siblings came later).

“One year it was a bicycle, one year we had a sled.

One year we got a puppy — his name was Jack and he was a border collie,” recalls Smith, now 70.

“We didn’t have a lot,” she said, “but we didn’t know it. Our mother and daddy made it a wonderful time for us.”

In multicultural America, Father Christmas isn’t just

for Christians any more.

Three-fourths of non-Christian adults say they believed in Santa when they were children. And half feel he’s important to their holiday celebrations now.

Developmental psychologist Cyndy Scheibe, who’s been interviewing kids about Santa since 1986, said lots of Jewish children told her that Santa Claus was real, even though he didn’t stop at their houses on Christmas Eve. And many non-Christian parents embrace Santa because they see Christmas serving as a secular as well as religious holiday in the U.S., she said.

“Santa Claus is more than someone who just comes and gives you a present, it’s this whole spirit of giving and magic that you get to be a part of and celebrate,” said Scheibe, an associate professor at Ithaca College in New York.

That’s what keeps Santa going over the decades and across cultures, she said.

“That, and there’s almost nothing as much fun as getting to see your kid’s face so completely excited.”

Scheibe knows firsthand.

She used to climb a ladder to the roof every Christmas, her daughter watching, to

leave a key tied to a big red bow, because they didn’t have a fireplace.

It’s not all snowflakes and mistletoe in Santaland, however. Even among Christians, there’s tension about how big a role, if any, a jolly old elf deserves in the celebration of Christ’s birth.

Almost half of Americans polled said Santa detracts from the religious significance of Christmas more than he enhances it.

When she was growing up, Naomi Stenberg’s fundamentalist Baptist parents didn’t want her mixed up with Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny or Halloween trick-or-treating.

“I didn’t understand why everybody else got to believe in Santa, and me and my brother didn’t,” says Stenberg, 32, now a stay-at-home mom in Baxter, Minn. “I felt left out.”

Her own three children have gotten the full Kris Kringle experience, but sometimes she feels illequipped to handle the tough queries from her youngest, 6-year-old Rylen.

“She’s been asking questions like how does Santa fit through the chimney,” she said. “I don’t know how to answer things like that.”

Matt Hoyt vividly remem-

bers seeing Santa’s black boots peeking out from behind his bedroom curtains when he was a boy.

He froze. “I was just trying to pretend to be asleep,” Hoyt said, “so I’d get my presents.”

Only much later did he realize those were probably the black shoes of his dad, hanging his new “Star Wars” drapes. Now Hoyt, a 35-year-old computer engineer from Houston, is awaiting the birth of his first child in April, and wondering how long that child will believe.

In the poll, the median age when adults said they outgrew Santa was 8. Hoyt suspects his child’s generation will turn away even earlier. After all, “They’ve got Google at their fingertips.”

But Santa needn’t worry.

They’ll come back someday ... when they’re parents.

The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted Dec. 812 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,000 adults nationwide and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Justice Department rejects SC voter photo ID law COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Justice Department on Friday rejected South Carolina’s law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, saying it makes it harder for minorities to cast ballots. It was the first voter ID law to be refused by the federal agency in nearly 20 years.

The Obama administration said South Carolina’s law didn’t meet the burden under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlawed discriminatory practices preventing blacks from voting.

Tens of thousands of minorities in South Carolina might not be able to cast ballots under South Carolina’s law because they don’t have the right photo ID, Assistant Attor ney General Thomas Perez said.

South Carolina’s law was passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by GOP Gov. Nikki Haley. The state’s attorney general vowed to fight the federal agency in court.

“Nothing in this act stops people from voting,” said Attorney General Alan Wilson, who is also a Republican.

South Carolina’s new voter ID

law requires voters to show poll workers a state-issued driver’s license or ID card; a U.S. military ID or a U.S. passport.

South Carolina is among five states that passed laws this year requiring some form of ID at the polls, while such laws were already on the books in Indiana and Georgia, whose law received approval from President George W. Bush’s Justice Department.

Indiana’s law, passed in 2005, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2008.

Those new laws also allow voters without the required photo ID to cast provisional ballots, but the voters must return to a specific location with that ID within a certain time limit for their ballots to count.

The Justice Department must approve changes to South Carolina’s election laws under the federal Voting Rights Act because of the state’s past failure to protect the voting rights of blacks. It is one of nine states that require the agency’s approval.

The last time the Justice Department rejected a voter ID law was in 1994 when Louisiana

passed a measure requiring a picture ID. After changes were made, it was approved by the agency.

Justice officials are reviewing Texas’ new law. Kansas, Tennessee and Wisconsin also passed laws this year, but they are not under the agency’s review.

South Carolina’s law also required the state to determine how many voters lack stateissued IDs so that the Election Commission can work to make sure they know of law changes.

The Department of Motor Vehicles will issue free state photo identification cards to those voters.

“Minority registered voters were nearly 20 percent more likely to lack DMV-issued ID than white registered voters, and thus to be effectively disenfranchised,” Perez wrote, noting that the numbers could be even higher since the data submitted by the state doesn’t include inactive voters.

The number of active and inactive voters that should be used to determine how many people would be affected by the

law has been in dispute. Department of Motor Vehicles executive director Kevin Shwedo said the state Election Commission knew it was using inaccurate data when it released reports showing nearly 240,000 active and inactive voters lacked driver’s licenses or ID cards.

Shwedo sent the state’s attorney general an analysis showing that 207,000 of those voters live in other states, allowed their ID cards to expire, probably have licenses with names that didn’t match voter records or were dead. He said the commission created “artificially high numbers to excite the masses.”

A spokesman for the Election Commission did not respond to an email message Friday. Earlier in the week, commission officials said the agency will eliminate nearly 60,000 deceased people and individuals whose names didn’t match DMV records.

Haley said the decision was more proof President Barack Obama is fighting conservative ideas like voter ID laws or immigration reform.

“The president and his bullish administration are fighting us

every step of the way. It is outrageous, and we plan to look at every possible option to get this terrible, clearly political decision overturned so we can protect the integrity of our electoral process and our 10th amendment rights,” Haley said in a statement.

South Carolina ACLU executive director Victoria Middleton applauded the Justice Department’s decision, saying the “misguided” law represented “a dramatic setback to voting rights in our state and we are pleased to see it stopped in its tracks.”

The decision also was welcomed by civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, who planned to talk about how voter ID laws are a plot by conservatives to keep blacks from voting in his hometown of Greenville, S.C., next week. He said the laws are like modern day poll taxes, targeting elderly people who can’t afford to get IDs and students.

“We’re fighting wars for democracy overseas and we’re fighting democracy at home,” Jackson said. “What a contradiction.”

LA’s ‘Wonderful Life’ Day honors classic Frank Capra film

LOS ANGELES (AP) — George Bailey can rest easy. He really did make a difference in the lives of people, including all 3.8 million in Los Angeles.

Bailey, for the one or two people who still haven’t seen the classic Frank Capra film “It’s A Wonderful Life,” is a man driven to the brink of suicide when he comes to believe his life never really mattered.

It’s up to his quirky guardian angel Clarence to set him straight by showing Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart, what the world would have been like with-

out him.

In honor of the film’s 65th anniversary, the City Council declared Friday “It’s A Wonderful Life Day” in Los Angeles.

To get people in the spirit, Councilman Tom LaBonge, several members of Capra’s family and a few others gathered at the director’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on a sunny holiday morning.

The section of the walk, it turns out, is one filled with cheesy souvenir shops and sex toy emporiums. They give it more the look of Pottersville, the disreputable place in the film that the evil banker Mr. Potter turns bucolic Bedford Falls into when Bailey isn’t there to stop him.

That didn’t dampen Friday’s celebration, however, which included Jimmy

Hawkins, the actor who played Bailey’s 5-year-old son, Tommy.

As one of the last surviving cast members, the 70year -old actor -producer said he considers it an honor to introduce new audiences to the movie.

When it debuted in theaters in 1946, “It’s A Wonderful Life” was actually a commercial and critical flop. But if that bothered

Capra, he never let it show.

“My father always said that ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ was the best movie that he ever made,” Tom Capra said. “As a matter of fact, he said it was best movie ever made.”

The film, whose story takes place at Christmas, became a holiday classic

with the dawn of television, when families began to gather each holiday season to watch it.

It airs again tonight on NBC. “It carried with it the message that you can find in each of my dad’s films.

The message of hope,” Capra said.

State government escapes major disruption A4 Saturday, December 24, 2011

By hook, crook, shifting from Peter to Paul, and hundreds of millions of federal stimulus dollars, state government survived, without major operational disruption, three years of less money coming into the general fund, the state’s principal pot of operating money. The period ended with the 2011 fiscal year (FY 11) that closed June 30 of this year.

Survival came through easing down spending 3 to 4 percent per year for four years, said David Abbey, Legislative Finance Committee director. Abbey spoke Dec. 15 at the annual legislative outlook conference of the New Mexico Tax Research Institute.

The overall spending cuts ended with FY 11. For the current year (FY 12, ending June 30, 2012), the state has gotten lucky.

Abbey didn’t cite luck, however.

Just as one-time options ran out, revenue has increased, he said.

“The FY 13 revenue outlook

suggests steady but moderate growth consistent with a slow economic recovery,” Abbey said.

That “moderate growth” projection is considered somewhat conservative. What may be the best news isn’t a number but rather a trend, or perhaps the beginnings of what may become a trend. The revenue from broad-based taxes is growing a little. These taxes include gross receipts and income taxes. Taxable gross receipts have grown 12 percent in the past six months.

“New money” for FY 13 is estimated at $250 million. That fig-

Roswell Daily Record

ure is FY 13 estimated revenue minus FY 12 spending.

“The challenge,” Abbey said, “is not to go back to old spending practices but to invest in programs that will yield better results.” That means serving the “most needy” or producing the best return on investment.

In job ter ms, the projected growth averages 1.5 percent per year for the next five years. Such job growth, if it happens, will bring the state back to the prerecession employment peak of just under 830,000.

Oil and gas revenue per unit of production is projected to be fairly steady the next few years with oil in the $8-to-$9 range per barrel and gas from $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet. The amount of money to the state will be determined by the amount of production.

State pension funds remain a

huge and pretty much unaddressed problem with respect to action, though all sorts of people are working on proposals. The pensions are outside the general fund.

“Our benefits are generous,” Abbey said. The cost-of-living adjustment for the pensions of the main group of state retirees “is remarkably generous.” Applying changes only to new state employees, a sometimes argued approach, will never get to a solution, namely solvent funds.

Conventional wisdom lurked in a few speakers. Richard Berry, Albuquerque mayor, pitched the fantasy of luring the headquarters of national corporations to locate in Albuquerque.

Terri Cole, long serving president and CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce repeated an old and destructive complaint, that “we

are a public sector economy.” As is nearly always the case, Cole failed to exempt the national laboratories and other public research institutions from the evils of “the public dollars.”

Opportunity may lie with speaker after speaker discussing aspects of the absolute mess of the state tax system. We have narrowed the tax base and raised the rates, was the comment, repeated across philosophies.

This can’t continue, all said.

Keith Gardner, chief of staff for Gov. Susana Martinez, cited the administration’s commitment to substantial first-term accomplishment. “We must change our way of doing business in New Mexico,” Gardner said.

World Opinion Canadian health care

The number of doctors — there are nearly 70,000 — and their salaries are both at alltime highs. More Canadians have a family doctor than in years past, proof that progress has been made. But access to them is among the worst in the world. How can that be?

Only half of Canadians are able to see their doctors the same day they become sick.

Queues for specialists are especially worrisome, with 41 percent of patients waiting two months or more, according to The Commonwealth Fund’s study of 11 countries.

Canadians shouldn’t fool themselves into thinking poor access is the inevitable consequence of a publicly-funded health care system. Patients in the Netherlands and Germany have rapid access to specialists, much like Americans where private care prevails.

Our system is simply not efficient.

New research shows that the average family physician in Canada billed the public purse $239,000, while the average specialist billed $341,000. Alberta leads the way with the most generous compensation in Canada, according to 2010 figures.

The privilege of being doctors who have a monopoly on providing medical care carries with it an ethical, social responsibility. That should include making patients the center of care.

Canadians have paid top dollar to buy change in the health care system. They have bought more doctors, but they haven’t yet got a more efficient system.

North Korea

It was not the most promising sign of change in North Korea that the death of Kim Jong-il was marked by the test-firing of a short-range missile off the troubled peninsula’s east coast. After the despot’s demise ... the country’s military rulers were evidently intent on demonstrating that the bellicose isolationism of the “dear leader” had not died with him. Even though Pyongyang’s chosen dynastic successor, his third son Kim Jongun, was educated in the West, the prospect of an immediate transformation in this bizarre country is remote.

North Koreans face an uncertain future under the leadership of Kim Jong-un, who has already been hailed as the “great successor.” Unlike his father, who spent 20 years being carefully groomed to succeed the dynasty’s founder, Kim Il-sung, the “great leader,” Kim Jong-un was only confirmed in the succession two years ago and is a novice when it comes to presiding over the world’s last remaining Stalinist state. Even if — and it is a big “if” — he was inclined to follow the example of China and engage in radical economic change, he would first need to overcome the country’s institutionalized resistance to reform. Devotion to the cult of the leader often supersedes any form of rational debate — after all, unquestioning loyalty to Kim Jong-il resulted in an estimated 2 million of North Korea’s 24 million population dying of starvation.

There is also the unresolved issue of North Korea’s nuclear program, which has resulted in further international isolation over the refusal to freeze its development of such weapons. Relations between Pyongyang and the West have been in a trough over the past five years, during which time North Korea test-fired two atomic warheads and launched a missile capable of hitting the American mainland. There have, however, been encouraging signs in recent months that the country is prepared to re-enter talks, with the Obama administration poised to make a significant donation of food aid to kick-start the negotiating process. A change of leadership could provide the perfect opportunity for the regime to re-evaluate its nuclear ambitions and thus end decades of isolation from the outside world.

Christmas can get competitive So I walked into the living room and there it was, glowing like a lantern in a cave.

“Oh,” I said to my talented home decorator and wife of 52 years, “how wonderful, the Christmas Tree. When did you put it up?”

“Tuesday,” she said. Meaning three days ago. She wasn’t smiling.

It is just one of the pressures of the Christmas season, a wonderful yet stressful time of year. You’ve got to notice things. Suppose that someone special says, “gee, wouldn’t it be fun to have a 10-cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice

Question: My 61-year old mother plans to take a 12-hour plane trip in the near future. Her legs usually get swollen when she flies a long distance. So far, this swelling has been harmless, but I’m worried that on such a long flight, she might get a blood clot in her leg. Is there anything special she can do to prevent this from happening?

Answer: Many people develop mild swelling in their feet, ankles and lower legs during long-haul flights. Sitting still is the culprit; without the pumping action of contracting leg muscles, blood and fluid accumulate in the lower extremities.

Cooker?” You don’t shrug and think, “not really.” No, you get your butt on down to the 10cup Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker store and buy one.

Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. It also ushers in a cultural war. I am

supposed to notice, turn on my heel and take my business elsewhere if a store clerk greets with “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.”

Sorry, not going to do it. I am not into wars. I patronize a store for its selection, service and price. I will leave the sales clerk — and her employer — to her own spirituality if she will leave mine to me.

My personal Christmas pressure point resolves around the yet unfulfilled desire to win the community decorating contest. That got me to thinking about a holiday column I wrote 22 years

ago. A slightly edited version follows: We could have been on the cover of a 1956 Saturday Evening Post. It was a Norman Rockwell evening.

The family, nestled in comfy chairs anchored near the blazing hearth, gazed silently on the majestic pine and pondered private thoughts of mistletoe and Yule logs. Basking in reverie of Christmas past and Christmas present, we exchanged knowing glances when the doorbell rang.

25 YEARS AGO

The swelling itself is benign, though it can be plenty annoying, especially when you try to put your shoes back on at the end of the flight. But swelling can signal complications, especially when it’s more prominent in one leg than the other.

The big worry on a longhaul flight is the development of a blood clot, also known as deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). These clots can cause long-lasting

problems in the affected leg. And if the clot breaks away and travels in the bloodstream to an artery in the lungs (this is called pulmonary embolism), it can cause chest pain and breathing problems. A large embolism can even cause sudden death.

She plans to attend college and major in radiology.

Proud smiles tugged our lips. Surely, this would be the Community Home Decorating Contest Committee, here to tell us, at long last, our dream had been realized.

Yes, finally. After years of hard work and futile waiting, it just had to be. This year we must have won. Our subdued, tastefully dim, single string of blue lights had captured the judges’ imagination. Oh, happy days!

As always, this year we had eschewed the garish display of ostentatious brilliance, angling instead for the diminutive décor of restraint. No Santas. No reindeer. If we had but a simple phrase to describe our home’s ornamental message, it might be this: “understated elegance.”

We walked briskly to answer the door chimes, barely concealing our mirth.

Roberta, Cathy, Mike, Julie, Sheri and I had rehearsed the reaction scene. We were ready to adopt the pleasantly-surprised-but-still-humble look of wonderment when the contest chairman handed us the “best decorated” trophy, as surely he would.

Kacey Sigler, a senior at Goddard High, is the Pecos Valley Rotary Club Student of the Month for December.

Kacey, 18, is the daughter of Dave and Rose Sigler.

Jacquie Best, a senior at Goddard High, is the Silver Belle Student of the Month for December. Jacquie, 17, is the daughter of Jeanine and Jim Bob Best.

Jacquie’s hobbies are ranching, showing horses

How quickly our fantasies of glory were to be discarded like broken toys on December 26. The fellow at the door had nothing to do with the contest. He was a Christmas Light sightseer. “Can you tell me how to get to Weldon Staf ford’s house?” he wondered.

“You bet,” I answered, full of holiday spirit. “Weldon lives about two miles out in the desert. Go on up to the main street, take a left, and drive until you run out of neighborhood.”

That was mean. My friend Weldon lived three doors down, just around the corner, and once again his lights were the talk of the town. If a group of terrorist elves were to kidnap Santa, they would have stashed St. Nick at Weldon’s place. It was so bright airplane pilots fixed on it en route to the local landing strip.

Twenty-two years. It is so comforting to have matured, to understand Christmas does not mean “impressing your neighbors.” Come on by. We’re the house with rotating spotlights trained on the faces of the Vienna Boys Choir on the roof singing ba-rump-a-bum-bum.

around them to regulate blood flow.

Veins are less complicated than arteries, but they have an elegant design of their own. In fact, this anatomy is particularly important for the leg veins. These veins have the challenge of carrying blood back up to your heart, whether you are reclining in bed or standing upright.

Veins have a series of one-way valves that allow blood to flow toward the heart while preventing backflow. The leg veins rely on contractions of the leg muscles to counter the force of gravity and propel blood to the heart.

Leg veins are by far the most vulnerable to DVTs and other venous disorders.

There are three types of leg veins. The superficial veins lie close to the skin; the deep veins are located deep in the muscles; and the perforator veins connect the other two systems, with blood normally flowing from the superficial to the deep veins, which carry more than 80 percent of the blood that flows from the legs to the heart.

Although venous clots can sometimes form without an obvious cause, the majority of DVTs are triggered by one of three conditions: slowed flow of blood, a boost in the activity of the blood’s clotting system, or an injury to the vein wall.

Why does travel increase the risk of DVTs? Any form of prolonged sitting can trigger DVTs, but air travel compounds the problem because of its cramped quarters and dry air, which makes the blood “thicker” and “stickier.”

diminish the swelling. Look for a pair that applies pressure of 20 to 30 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). They are available at hospitals and large drugstores. Passengers who have significant problems with arteries or nerves in their legs should check with their doctors first.

Keeping mobile is also very important.

If possible, have your mother sit in an exit row, bulkhead or aisle seat to give her more legroom. She should avoid crossing her legs. Stretching, massaging her lower legs and pumping her feet up and down for about 30 seconds every 30 minutes can help. She should take a walk in the aisle at least once every hour or so. In-seat exercises, involving contraction of the calf muscles or wiggling the feet up and down in rapid repetition, may be helpful in promoting circulation from the legs.

Another important way to prevent DVT is to stay well hydrated. Your mother should drink lots of non-alcoholic beverages; she’ll know she’s getting enough when she finds herself making frequent trips to the toilet. Getting up to go to the lavatory also increases circulation in the lower legs and exercises the calf muscles. Alcohol, which dehydrates, should be limited or avoided entirely.

Some clinicians advocate taking aspirin, but it provides only modest protection against DVTs. An injection of low-molecular-weight heparin is much more ef fective, but doctors usually reserve this prescription medication for people at high risk, such as those with prior DVTs. Air travel is a hassle these days, but simple precautions can help keep leg swelling and blood clots from making a long flight become a medical emergency.

the county clerk to be eligible to file. There is no charge for a certified copy of voter registration.

Under state statute, candidates are allotted the one day for filing, no early or late declarations of candidacy are accepted.

Candidates who cannot make the filing day can designate a person to file for them through an affidavit authorizing a filing declaration of candidacy, according to City Clerk Dave Kunko. This for m can be obtained through the city clerk’s office. The designated person must also bring the additional documents required for the candidate to run.

The positions slated to be on the March ballot include municipal judge and five City Council seats. Incumbents are Judge Larry Loy; and council members Bob Maples, Ward 1; Steve Henderson, Ward 2; Judy Stubbs, Ward 3; Amarante Fresquez, Ward 4; and Elena Velasquez, Ward 5.

Those wishing to run for a City Council position must be 18 years or older and reside within the ward they wish to represent. Roswell city councilors serve staggered 4-year terms and receive a salary of $5,707 annually.

season Republican confrontation with Obama and Senate Democrats that had threatened to hit 160 million workers with a tax increase on Jan. 1. But it backfired badly. Even Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell and the Wall Street Journal editorial board urged Speaker John Boehner and other House Republicans to act quickly and keep the tax cut in effect.

On Friday, an expressionless Boehner read from a piece of paper before him, gaveled the House’s last session of the year closed and stepped off the podium on the Democratic side. He hugged the dean of the House, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich.

A full-year extension of the tax cut had been embraced by virtually every lawmaker in both the House and Senate but had been derailed in a quarrel over demands by House Republicans. Senate leaders of both parties had tried to barter such an agreement among themselves a week ago but failed, instead agreeing upon a 60-day measure to buy time for talks next year.

Thursday’s decision by Boehner, R-Ohio, to cave in

Palucki said the high temperatures for today and Sunday will be 36 degrees, and another four inches of snow is expected. The eastern slope has been hardest hit.

“When the snow starts to melt, patchy fog could be a concern,” she said.

The additional moisture may be welcome, but Palucki says southeast New Mexico is getting a dry snow, with a 14-to-1 ratio.

In other words, it would take 14 inches of snow to be the equivalant to 1 inch of rain. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

Those wanting to run for municipal judge must reside within city limits.

Further qualifications for municipal judge include an Associate of Arts degree, conferred by a regionally accredited college or university, or a higher ear ned degree, conferred by a regionally accredited college or university. The candidate must be 25 years old prior to the date the office is assumed. The Roswell municipal judge serves a 4-year term and receives a salary of $46,500 annually.

The Municipal Infrastructure Gross Receipts Tax question is also slated to appear on the March ballot. Mayor Del Jurney is reintroducing the proposal to add a MIGRT to the city’s current gross receipt tax.

The addition of the MIGR T would result in an increase of the city’s current gross receipts tax, which would shift from 7.125 percent to 7.25 percent or 12.5 cents for every $100 spent.

The filing period for write-in candidates is Jan. 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m, at the city clerk’s office. A write-in candidate’s name does not appear on the ballot.

There will be a blank on the ballot in lieu of the name, and residents can write in the candidate on the ballot.

to the Senate came after days of criticism from Obama and Democrats.

But perhaps more tellingly, GOP stalwarts including Republican senators and outside strategists warned that if the tax cuts were allowed to expire, Republicans would take a political beating that would harm efforts to unseat Obama next year.

House GOP arguments about the legislative process and what the “uncertainty” of a twomonth extension would mean for businesses were unpersuasive, and Obama took the offensive.

Friday’s House and Senate sessions were remarkable. Both chambers had essentially recessed for the holidays but leaders in both parties orchestrated passage of the short-term agreement under debate rules that would allow any individual member of Congress to derail the pact, at least for a time. None did.

If the cuts had expired as scheduled, 160 million workers would have seen tax increases and up to 2 million people without jobs for six months would start losing unemployment benefits averaging $300 a week.

Doctors would have seen a 27 percent cut in their Medicare payments, the product of a 1997 cut that Congress has been unable to fix.

foundation,” Pirtle said of lessons with Mrs. Fletcher.

“I use her beginning method to this day.”

Pirtle said Mrs. Fletcher taught tetrascales — the playing of all the scales in all musical keys, one after the other.

Pirtle moved to Roswell in 1949, when she was a 15-year-old junior in high school. Her family moved to be closer to relatives.

When Pirtle attended Roswell High School, she met the man who would introduce her to playing the organ. Pirtle’s induction as an organist began in a typing class. Alva Wilson needed a typist to write a magazine article.

“He lear ned I was a musician,” Pirtle said. Wilson invited her to the New Mexico Military Institute campus to see a pipe organ he was going to repair.

“I had no idea what a theatre pipe organ looked like,” Pirtle said, a look of surprise still evident in her eyes, after more than six decades after the event. “I was fascinated. I decided I needed to learn how to play (the organ).”

Pirtle agreed to type Wilson’s article, but at a special price: her typist servic-

South Texas were expected to get rain on Christmas Eve. In Rio Rancho, Police Of ficer Charles Ritter tur ned away motorists after motorist along U.S. 550, telling them that much of northwester n New Mexico had been shuttered by the storm.

“It’s for their own safety,” he said after one woman pleaded unsuccessfully to get past the roadblock so she could get to her father’s home in Colorado.

Brian Shoemaker, of Albuquerque, was stuck in the line of motorists at the roadblock. He was heading to Colorado to spend Christmas with his family and unhappy to lear n it would be early afternoon before he could drive again.

“Some places in Albuquerque it was horrible, and some places it was great. It’s just real spotty,” he said. “You’ll move from good to bad within two-, three-mile sections.”

Jim Hunsaker, a Union Pacific Railroad employee,

had even farther to go. He hoped to get home to Salt Lake City, Utah, before Christmas Eve after spending several days working in New Mexico.

“It’s mindboggling that they even close these roads. In Utah, this isn’t nothing,” he said of the conditions Friday morning. “We travel in conditions like this all the time, so it’s kind of frustrating they’ve got me shut down here.”

Caren Cowan, executive director of the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association, said ranchers near Vaughn, N.M., sheltered a number of stranded travelers Thursday evening after heavy snow made roads in east-central New Mexico impassable.

Ranchers also took precautions to protect livestock in rural areas in case snow drifts froze and trapped cattle away from unfrozen water.

In Colorado, operations at the Denver International Airport were getting back to nor mal after a storm that brought about

es in exchange for organ lessons.

“I struck a deal with him,” Pirtle said. Her knowledge of the piano partially helped her learn the organ, which may seem more similar to the piano than it actually is. The organ involves the use of pedals more so than the piano. It also has anywhere between two to five sets of keys.

The multi-faceted nature of an organ, Pirtle said, allows it to sound like other instruments, such as clarinets, violins, or even xylophones.

Pirtle graduated from Roswell High in 1951, and took organ lessons from Wilson for about three years. In 1952, she started playing the organ for an audience. She felt drawn to sharing her musical talent with others affiliated with Tabernacle Baptist Church, which she attended with her family.

“I felt the Lord leading me to play the organ,” she said. She had a thought to share this with Howard Ingram, the church pastor at the time. He liked her idea to play organ for the church. There was just one hurdle — the church had no organ to play. Still, Ingram helped Pirtle’s vision become a reality by purchasing an organ for the church. The next Sun-

day, Pirtle became organist for Tabernacle Baptist.

It was at the church that Pirtle met her husband Tom. The couple lived on a cotton and alfalfa far m southeast Roswell. They had two daughters, Sharon Larsen and Vici Anderson, and a son James, born in 1976.

Daughter Sharon Larsen joked about the age difference between the siblings.

“We (Sharon and Vici) were married and gone when she had James,” Larsen said.

Aside from playing organ at Tabernacle, Pirtle also gave organ and piano lessons at her home. Furthermore, she worked at Ginsberg Music Co., selling pianos and organs.

Through an extension store in Carlsbad, Pirtle was able to sell instruments to people throughout southeast New Mexico. Eventually, Pirtle was asked to oversee Ginsberg’s sheet music department.

Depending on size, families were given a small or large food box featuring a 5-pound ham, mashed potatoes, gravy mix and soda. A collaborative effort, The Salvation Army purchased the hams, Pepsi donated the soda, and the additional food items were primarily donated through food drives from area public schools.

This year’s donations were structured differently, Perez said. In the past, parents had a scheduled

daytime appointment to pick up items. This year, families scheduled a time, on the hour, between five and eight o’clock to pick up their donations on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Roswell Corps held a Christmas service in its chapel for the families to enjoy while they waited.

During the service, members of the Roswell Corps called out five families every five minutes.

About 100 flights were canceled at the Denver airport on Thursday because of the snow. A piece of snow removal equipment also struck a jet parked at a gate, forcing passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight to Los Angeles to switch to another plane.

Daniel Jiron, a spokesman for Albuquerque Inter national Sunport, said the airport was seeing fewer delays Friday as conditions improved.

Pirtle gave up her post as church organist at Tabernacle Baptist Church only recently, and in the words of her daughter, Sharon, “after a whopping 59 years.” Pirtle said she stopped playing the organ due to the strain it placed on her eyes. She resigned to the music minister, Jason Perry, and the pastor, Dr. Jerry Beaver.

Larsen speculated on the impact her mother has had on the music community in Roswell. Although no one has kept count, after almost six decades of playing church organ Pirtle has been a part of many weddings and funerals. Pirtle said she has played at most churches in Roswell. Her years teaching music to others — possibly hundreds of students — must also have had a great impact on Roswell’s music scene.

Christmas without Melissa Dear Editor:

Hello Roswell, it’s me again; remember the one whose daughter was murdered in Roswell on April 15, 2006?

Yes I am still around and I am still asking for the same thing that I asked for the day she was murdered, by the way the police asked for it that day too! I want a lie detector done on the one person who either murdered her or knows who murdered her and knows why she was murdered. The lie detector was all set up at one point, then that person suddenly decided he was not going to take it. As the mother of Melissa, I can’t imagine why!

This is the sixth birthday without Melissa and it will be the sixth Christmas without Melissa. Her daughter asks to decorate her mom’s grave for Christmas. Do you think that is what a 6-year-old should be asking for at Christmas?

And for the people who say I will have to apologize to them — LOL — you know who murdered Melissa and yet you act like you don’t. Some of those same people told me who murdered her, yet they now act like they don’t know anything.

It is so hard to go through Dec. 12 each year and celebrate Melissa’s twin’s birthday, knowing that only one half of the set of twins is still here. I remember the last birthday I had with Melissa and it hurts to know that I will never ever get to give her another present on that very special day.

It is also hard on Christmas morning when Mariah gets to see what Santa Claus got her and yet her mommy can’t because she was murdered. It isn’t like she cannot be there for her daughter because she did not make changes in her life after April 15, 2006, it is because she was murdered and was not allowed to have the opportunity to get away from the people she was with.

All of the people involved in her mur der never changed, they kept gang banging and most of them are either in prison, on their way to prison or just got out of prison.

Not a week goes by that I do not contact the police department in Roswell. I will never give up or “put Melissa to rest” until the murderer is held accountable for what he did. The day Melissa’s murderer is arrested I will go to her grave and let her know her mom was the only one who kept the case alive and open. I thank the Roswell Police Department for not putting this case on a back burner, they are still very active and keep me hopeful that this case will be solved.

I still have a bit of my daughter, I have it through my other children and I have it through Mariah. She looks and acts like her mommy. She loves with her whole heart like her mommy. She even thinks bad people can change like her mommy. But, the one thing different is she is not her mommy and she will never know how much her mommy loved her.

So as you celebrate this Christmas with your children, remember the child who cannot be with her mommy on that very special day. When you look at your child, imagine that child not being able to see their mommy because a person took it upon themselves to murder you. Think about what your child would say or do if he/she no longer had you in their life.

It is hard to imagine, but you can if you really try.

Just hide from your child and see how they react when they cannot find you. A little child needs their mommy.

Mommy is supposed to take them to their first day of school, be there for all of the tooth fairy nights, be in the audience at their school plays, help at the Christmas party in their classroom, help them do their hair, and especially just love them, hug them and just be there for their every need.

Yet Melissa cannot do this because of one coward who thought a gun made him a man. Normal people do not use guns to threaten someone they love. Arguments between people who love each other do not include guns, abuse or stupidity. If you can threaten someone’s life with a gun, it is just one small step forward that you can pull the trigger and murder that person.

If you are in a relationship and you are being treated or threatened like that, please get out now. Don’t let your mom have to go through the rest of her life with what Melissa’s mom has to go through. Don’t let the last memory of you by your mom be looking down at your casket. Don’t let her have to decorate a grave on special occasions.

The person who murdered Melissa can and probably will murder again. That is because he is a big man in his own eyes. It does not take a man to murder; it only takes a coward that did not know how to act human.

In the Bible it says to forgive people of their injustices.

It does not say forget what they have done. Even God knows you cannot forget when the act was so wrong and so cowardly.

Yes I can forgive the person who murdered my daughter, that does not mean I will forget and that I do not want you to rot in prison. It does mean I do not want

Wealth-gap growing

Dear Editor Looking back, it is not hard to see the damage America has incurred from extremely poor financial judgment.

Not only have Americans undertaken impossible debt, we have, in several decades, changed radically how industry is paid. As it stands now, top executive salaries in America have increased by more than a 200-to-1 ratio compared with working Americans over the past 30 years.

A keyword in financial journalism today is “wealthgap,” which is a measure of how wealth is divided within a nation; and it may be no surprise to many Americans that America now suffers the largest wealth-gap of all industrialized nations. In fact, less than 1 percent of Americans now control well over 90 percent of the wealth in America. Citizens of other industrialized nations fair better, and in some nations, much better, in the distribution of national wealth.

Another new keyword in American society is “food stress,” which is a discreet way of describing human hunger. At present 17 million American children are undergoing food stress, and nearly 10 million of these children do not eat every day. Add to this, millions of American families are forced to survive on food stamps and even more millions who rely solely on local food banks.

Now I am not one to quibble, especially about hard times, but it does not take a rocket scientist to figure this all out. Simply put, this “wealth-gap” problem has surely gone too far in America. Not only are millions of Americans now living in fear of home foreclosure, they are now facing a congressional mandate to eliminate federal unemployment benefits.

I cannot imagine, in America, a more cruel and unjust kind of government, which advocates no more taxes for the most wealthy of our nation while, at the very same time, millions of Americans are subject to the harshest of congressional legislation, denying them access to the basics of acceptable living.

Even if Congress pushes through last minute unemployment legislation, they are, in the meantime, creating more fear and severely breaking down what little trust Americans have left in their government.

If, in fact, the term “wealth-gap” is a definitive measure of a nation’s shared prosperity, then I am forced to ask why our Congress allows America to lag behind the entire industrialized world in the sharing of national wealth.

No matter what the right answers may imply, be it overt greed or just insensitive Congressional legislation, there remains an overriding concern, which suggests if the wealth-gap in America continues to increase, it will become ever more difficult for America to maintain a democratic union.

A wonderful life

Dear Editor, My husband’s favorite movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” is about a man who, through a series of unfortunate events realizes how great his life is. The truth is my husband, Curtis Rydholm, lived this scenario. He was diagnosed with a metastases of a previous cancer in May of this year. He wasn’t able to work, but his coworkers at Desert Sun have been such an amazing blessing to us!

When he was first diagnosed, they wanted to do something very special for him to encourage him. Curtis had had his 1987 Chevy S-10 truck for 24 years. It was his baby. He called her “GiGi” and I often accused her of being the other woman in my husband’s life. (He did sleep with a framed picture of her beside the bed.) He had replaced the engine with a V-8, but had never been able to do much to the truck cosmetically. His co-workers asked me if I could help them to get his truck without his knowing so that they could repaint it for him.

We managed to get the truck out of the garage one day while Curtis was out, but he must have had some type of connection to that truck because he told me the next day that he had dreamed that I gave his truck away.

Everyone in the shop worked on it and it went from a simple paint job to an awesome, custom paint job with a bed liner and a new interior. Two weeks later, all of the guys came over to the house and we managed to get Curtis outside. You should have seen his face and those faces of his friends who had gone above and beyond for

him! (It’s actually on youtube titled, “My friends overhaul my truck.”) It was so touching! The group also gave him an autographed picture of them with his overhauled truck and a CD of them doing all of the work. He looked at those videos of the work and the reveal over and over.

On bad days, it really encouraged him to keep fighting.

Curtis and I talked about the comparison between himself and George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Curtis said, “I have been given an awesome gift.” And he didn’t just mean his truck. He said, “I’ve been able to see how much I am truly loved, but I still don’t know why those people love me.”

The love that Desert Sun and Roswell as a community showed us did not end with his truck, but continued.

Desert Sun had a car wash, and Christ Church and Desert Sun had a garage sale to help with medical expenses. Christ Church, Desert Sun, Gateway Christian School, Valley Christian School, Pecos Valley Dart Association and too many individuals to name have blessed us with blessings upon blessings!

Unfortunately, Curtis lost his battle with cancer one month ago today. By the world’s standards Curtis was not wealthy, but in Roswell, he found a wealth of friends. In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Clarence writes in the book that he leaves George Bailey, “Remember no man is a failure who has friends.” And thanks to the people of Roswell and especially those at Desert Sun for reminding us that it truly is a wonderful life!

With much gratitude, Maelisa Rydholm Roswell

Program raises awareness

Dear Editor: This letter of gratitude goes out to the Chaves County Every 15 Minutes program coordinators who are diligently working to educate our youth and community on the tragedies caused by underage drinking, texting or using prescription drugs while driving.

A special thank you to the inspirational speakers and parents who shared their tragic stories of loss and pain that were the direct result of DWI related accidents. You are making a difference in the lives of others. Thank you to the dedicated law-enforcement officers, first responders, firemen, Chaves County DWI Program, dedicated volunteers, Roswell Independent School District, local businesses and community for supporting this valuable program.

In a coordinated effort, they utilized extremely graphic methods to create a life-changing experience for Goddard High School participants Nov. 21-22, 2011. They reached out to our youth and community and gave them a heightened awareness and accountability for their actions. We will not forget the program motto “Saving lives and I make a difference.” Roswell, please don’t drink, text or use prescription drugs while driving. I hope you all have a safe and blessed holiday season.

Sincerely thankful, Sandra Carrica Roswell

Political mud slinging

Dear Editor: What a shame that the media can take a rumor and run with it until it forces a man to give up his attempt to become the Republican candidate to run against Obama in the election in November 2012. My suspicions run high as the character assassination against Herman Cain only became evident after Mr. Cain became the front runner according the polls. Several women came forth with sexual harassment charges, and the latest one stating she had a 13-year “affair” with Mr. Cain.

All these women, in my opinion, were seeking and got their minute of glory. Thanks to the media. I’m also sure they also got what they wanted as far as monetary compensation for their stories. The public deserves better.

No man or woman, should have to face this kind of unfair publicity. This does not reflect kindly on the kind of government set up by our forefathers. Any person should have the right to run for a public office without the fear of being singled out by unscrupulous people, whose only purpose was to put doubt in and influence minds; to influence the outcome of some political agenda. I believe this to be part of the scheme of the present administration, which is to divide the country. Obama’s record needs no further scrutiny; it speaks for itself. I also blame the media, as they will do anything to be the first to run a story before they check the facts. None of us is immune, as they ar e pr otected by the First Amendment, the right of freedom of speech. Shame to all of those involved. They will all have to answer to God. In Christ’s precious name I pray that the people of the United States will see the error of their ways, as Judgement Day is closer than most want to believe.

NATION/OBITUARIES

Job growth lifts hopes for consumer spending

WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumer spending and incomes barely rose last month. Business investment has slowed. Newhome sales remain dismal.

Despite all that, some economists say a brightening job market is lifting their hopes for 2012. More aggressive hiring, the thinking goes, would fuel enough spending to boost the economy.

Economists point to a big drop reported this week in applications for unemployment benefits, the third straight decline. Applications are now at their lowest level since April 2008.

The trend is signaling that layoffs have all but stalled and that employers may be ready to step up hiring.

Unemployment, after hovering around 9 percent for more than two years, dropped in November to 8.6 percent. Employers have added at least 100,000 jobs each month from July through November. It’s the best such streak since 2006.

Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said he expects the economy to grow at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the current October-December quarter.

That would be the best performance in a year.

More jobs would mean more income. More pay tends to raise consumer spending, which makes up about 70 percent of the economy. Companies then have reason to increase hiring to meet stronger demand.

“We are hopeful that the plunge in jobless claims signals exactly that,” Shepherdson said in a research note Friday.

Chris G. Christopher Jr., senior economist at IHS Global Insight, noted that many households are still struggling with slight or no pay increases.

“But gasoline prices have been falling, and that is giving them more money to spend on other items,” he said.

The government said Friday that consumer spending rose just 0.1 percent in November, matching the increase in October.

Incomes also rose a scant 0.1 percent.

Modest as they were, economists said the figures at least signaled that incomes and spending aren’t stalling.

Healthier economic data in recent weeks have helped make the prospect

of another U.S. recession seem more remote — as long as Europe’s debt crisis doesn’t trigger a catastrophe that infects the global economy. economists Some trimmed their forecasts for growth based on the weaker-than-expected consumer spending data for November. But they said they still expected the economy to expand at a solid annual rate of 3 percent in the current October -December quarter. It would be the best showing since the spring of 2010.

“We are seeing some momentum going into the new year,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial. “At least we are not in a tight spot where we are still worried about relapsing into recession.”

Hof fman said that a major source of uncertainty for 2012 was removed this week with Congress’ agreement to extend a Social Security tax cut for 160 million workers — for two months, anyway.

As part of the deal, Congress also renewed benefits for the long-term unemployed. If that hadn’t happened, millions of unemployed people would have

begun to lose weekly checks averaging about $300 — the main source of income for most of them.

And if the payroll tax cut and the long-term unemployment benefits hadn’t been renewed for 2012, economists said the modest growth of around 2.5 percent they expect next year would have been a full percentage point lower.

On Friday, the government also released a cautionary report on U.S. manufacturing. Companies’ demand for long-lasting manufactured goods rose by the most in four months in November. But so-called core capital goods, a gauge of business investment spending, dropped for a second straight month.

Still, analysts said that with demand for items such as autos still strong, they expect further gains in factory orders and production.

In a third report, sales of new homes rose 1.6 percent in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 315,000. Even with that small gain, 2011 is likely to end up as the worst year for new-home sales on records dating to 1963.

More significant for the

economy was Friday’s report on incomes and spending in November. The scant income gain reflected a decline in wages and salaries. They are the biggest component of incomes.

The sluggish rise in spending was held back by a 0.3 percent drop in spending on non-durable goods such as food, clothing and gasoline. Spending on durable goods rose 0.8 percent. The gain reflected solid auto sales in November.

Spending on services rose a modest 0.1 percent.

This category includes such items as medical treatments and rent, The consumer spending report cov-

ers all items that households buy, including services, which make up about two-thirds of spending.

After -tax incomes showed no growth in November. The savings rate dipped to 3.5 percent of after-tax incomes, the lowest rate since late 2007.

That shows consumers are having to tap their savings to finance their spending because of the weak income growth.

The best antidote for that would be an increase in hiring now that fewer people are being laid off.

“The jobless claims data point to stronger jobs growth emerging,” said John Ryding, an economist at RDQ Economics.

Stocks close higher; S&P turns positive for 2011 DANIEL WAGNER AP BUSINESS WRITER

Stocks closed higher Friday after a quiet, pre-holiday session that turned the S&P 500 index positive for the year.

Traders were relieved by news that Congress extended a payroll tax holiday for workers and emergency unemployment benefits. The programs were set to expire at the end of the year. Letting that happen would have reduced economic growth by about 1 percent, analysts said.

The final business day before Christmas also was the slowest full day of trading so far this year. Traders exchanged just 2.2 billion shares, about half of the recent average. The market will be closed on Monday because Christmas falls on a Sunday this year.

Stocks have risen steadily since Tuesday on hopeful signs about the pace of economic growth in the fourth quarter, which ends next week. New claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to the lowest level since April 2008, long

before anyone realized the nation was in a recession.

A series of mixed economic reports Friday failed to derail that optimism. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index added 11.33 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,265.33. It started the year at 1,257.

Stocks might surge into the new year if the S&P 500 passes a couple of key technical thresholds, said Todd Salamone, research director at Schaeffer’s Investment Research.

Fund managers currently hold relatively few stocks, Salamone noted, and many of their funds have underperformed the market and are negative for the year. If the index rises farther above its breakeven point for the year or its average over the past several months, fund managers might flood into the market in a last-ditch attempt to improve their annual returns, he said.

“The worst thing that can happen for a fund manager is to underperform and be in the red when your benchmark, the S&P index, is in the green” for the year,

Salamone said.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 124.35 points, or 1 percent, to 12,294.

Bank of America Corp. was the Dow’s biggest gainer, adding 2.4 percent. All but two of the 30 Dow stocks rose, Alcoa Inc. and Boeing Co. The Dow has risen 527.74 points, or 4.5 percent in the past four days. It was the first four-day winning streak for the Dow since mid-September.

The Nasdaq composite index gained 19.19 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,618.64.

Earlier Friday, the government said that consumer spending and incomes barely grew in November. The weak gains suggest that consumers may have trouble sustaining their spending into 2012.

In another worrying sign, a measure of business investment decreased for the second straight month. Business investment has been a pocket of strong demand and spending amid a sluggish recovery.

Companies bought more long-lasting manufactured goods, but the result was skewed by strength in the volatile aero-

space industry.

Yet hopes for the economy remained high after this week’s encouraging news about the job market and strong holiday sales for retailers.

Among the companies making big moves: •Rambus Inc. jumped 12.2 percent after the technology licensing company said it reached a patent license deal with Broadcom Corp. and settled a lawsuit with the chip maker.

•TripAdvisor Inc. rose 6.1 percent, the most in the S&P 500, as traders reassessed the value of the newly-spun off travel review website. The stock had fallen sharply since it officially started trading on Wednesday. It recovered some losses on Friday as analysts weighed its rapidly growing revenue and market share.

•Eastman Kodak Co. rose 9.5 percent after the struggling photography company said its general counsel, Laura Quatela, would become co-president on Jan. 1.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.

has been well below normal through the fall and early winter with cold air bottled up over Canada. Golf courses were open this week in Minneapolis, which a year ago was digging out from a storm that dumped more than 17 inches of snow and collapsed the Metrodome roof. Many downhill ski resorts are making snow to compensate for nature’s stinginess.

“It’s been an amazingly slow start to the winter for everybody,” said Mike

La Niña, the cooling of the equatorial Pacific Ocean that affects weather worldwide, has nudged the jet stream farther north. Air pressure over the northern Atlantic has steered storm systems away from the East Coast.

The trends have resulted in the least snow New England has seen in November and December since the late 1990s, said Eric Evenson, a weather service meteorologist in Burlington, Vt. Snow totals across the region are 4 to 14 inches below normal, he said.

Williston, N.D., where more than 5 inches would have accumulated by now in a typical December, has gotten nothing. A couple of inches fell farther south in Bismarck but melted. Montana’s mountain snowpack is about 30 percent below average. Ski resorts in Washington state have gotten little snow since Thanksgiving.

Even snowy Michigan is feeling the pinch. Parts of the state regularly get more than 100 inches a year as clouds suck up moisture from the Great Lakes and deposit it over land. It’s been sparse this year, although light snow fell Friday and forecasters said sections of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota might get the 1 inch

required to qualify as a white Christmas.

Light flurries and temperatures around 30 degrees are expected Christmas Day in Green Bay, Wis., where the Packers will host the Chicago Bears. That’s downright balmy for Lambeau Field, the notorious “frozen tundra” that has hosted a fair share of NFL games in bitter cold and pelting snow.

A storm system moving up from the Gulf Coast may sprinkle up to 3 inches of snow in sections of the Northeast by Christmas, but it probably won’t last long, Evenson said.

Along with painting the landscape in dreary shades of brown and gray instead of the usual white, the abnormally mild winter has affected the economy.

Local governments have spent less on plowing and

salting roads. Gogebic County, in the snow belt of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, is about $100,000 better off than at this time a year ago, although road commission manager Darren Pionk said the savings might be short-lived.

“One or two bad months, and it can disappear pretty quickly,” he said.

Some businesses geared toward the winter are having a hard time. Mike Pobuda of Empire, Mich., keeps busy plowing residential and commercial driveways in a typical winter. These days, the phone isn’t ringing. He’s working at a convenience store to help pay the bills.

“It was already tight out there and now it’s tighter,” Pobuda said.

In Sioux Falls, S.D., hardware store owner Dallas Vanden Bos said it’s

taken all season to sell as many bags of snow and ice melting materials as customers usually buy in one day.

The outdoor recreation industry is making the best of things. Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vt., installed about 40 high-efficiency snowmaking machines this year and immediately put them to work making 18 of the property’s 111 trails suitable for skiing and snowboarding, president and majority owner Win Smith said.

But smaller operations that can’t afford snowmaking may suffer if the snow shortage lasts much longer, said Lisa Marshall, spokeswoman for the Wisconsin Department of Tourism.

“It could be make-or break for them,” she said.

Not everyone regrets that snow has been mostly a noshow, especially people who hate driving on slick roads and shoveling walks and driveways.

In Minneapolis, more than 100 people braved borderline freezing temperatures this week for a rare opportunity to play golf in December. Mike Schneider, a 70-year-old retiree, carried a handful of tees he had whittled to needlesharp points so they would penetrate the frosty turf at Parkview Golf Club.

A fellow golfer, Jim Jorgensen, said there were advantages to playing in the cold. For one thing, freezing eliminates water hazards.

Nun famous for kissing Elvis prays for miracle

BETHLEHEM, Conn. (AP) — In the little town of Bethlehem, a cloistered nun whose luminous blue eyes entranced Elvis Presley in his first on-screen movie kiss is praying for a Christmas miracle.

Dolores Hart, who walked away from Hollywood stardom in 1963 to become a nun in rural Bethlehem, Conn., now finds herself back in the spotlight. But this time it’s all about serving the King of Kings, not smooching the King of Rock and Roll.

The former brass factory that houses Mother Dolores and about 40 other nuns cloistered at the Abbey of Regina Laudis needs millions of dollars in renovations to meet fire and safety codes, add an elevator and make handicap accessibility upgrades.

Like 73-year -old Mother Dolores, the order’s nuns have taken a vow of stability with the intent to live, work and die at the complex. The order was established in 1947 in Bethlehem, a small burg in Connecticut’s rolling western hills.

Now, the historically self-supporting nuns have launched a fundraiser for the $4 million renovation project dubbed “New Horizons.” They don’t have much money, but they have Mother Dolores: a starletturned-supplicant whose unique story might lure the attention and donations of generations of movie fans, particularly those who adore all things Elvis.

“This work may not be in my lifetime that it’s finished, but we’re sure trying,” Mother Dolores said of the upgrades, which are budgeted to run about $2 million for the fire code and accessibility compliance work and another $2 million for improvements to the housing and other facilities.

They hope to break ground in January.

They’re not in imminent danger of needing to move out, but many of the older nuns can no longer navigate the narrow steps to the main building’s third floor and must live in another building. And without adequate fire escapes, the monastery has caught the eye of local inspectors, though they’ve worked closely with the nuns on the improvement plans and haven’t ordered them to close the building.

For Mother Dolores, the monastery has been home since she was a 24-year -old actress in 1963 and walked away from Hollywood for a life of contemplation and prayer as a postulant.

The abbey’s chapel, workshops, livestock pastures and other features are part of her soul now, and its wood-paneled monastery is the only home she’s known for 50 years.

Its theater holds a special place in her heart, harkening to the former career that landed her on talk shows, in magazines and twice as Elvis Presley’s co-star.

Dolores Hart was a vivacious, quick-witted blond starlet when she charmed Hollywood in the 1950s and early 1960s. She shared a kiss with Presley in the 1957 Paramount film, “Loving You” — a modest liplock over which Mother Dolores still fields frequent questions about whether the King was a good kisser.

“I don’t know why they ask me. It’s right there on the screen to see; it’s right there for the looking,” she said Thursday.

Hart acted in 10 movies alongside stars including Montgomery Clift, Myrna Loy, Connie Francis and Anthony Quinn.

She said she was engaged to be married before joining God’s service and leaving the acting world behind. She broke off her engagement, though her fiance remained a close friend and was a frequent visitor and supporter of the abbey until his recent death.

The nuns also received support and help over the years from Mother Dolores’ longtime friend and fellow actress Patricia Neal, who was buried at the abbey after her death in August 2010.

Mother Dolores is still a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, receiving copies of movies to watch in her small room — or cell, as they’re known in the order — to help select yearly Oscar winners.

Her own movies, including the highly popular “Where the Boys Are,” were made before stars routinely could negotiate to collect later royalties, she said, so that’s not a potential source of income for the upgrades to the abbey.

The abbey is financially independent from the Archdiocese of Hartford and supports itself through the sale of everything from artisan cheeses and hand-crafted pottery to recordings of its choir. Mother Dolores even recently signed autographs at a New Jersey convention, a rare foray out of cloistered life as a favor for a friend, and one that helped boost the fundraising efforts.

NATIONAL BRIEFS UNLV ROLLS PAST CAL, 85-68

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Anthony Marshall had 22 points and nine rebounds to lead No. 21 UNLV to an 85-68 victory over California on Friday.

Chace Stanback had 15 points and Mike Moser added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Rebels (13-2), who have won all eight games this season at the Thomas & Mack Center and 11 overall in Las Vegas.

Oscar Bellfield had 11 points and 11 assists for UNLV, which shot 49 percent from the field and had 22 assists.

Justin Cobbs had 20 points and five assists for the Golden Bears (10-3), while Allen Crabbe had 13 points and six rebounds and Harper Kamp added 12 points and nine rebounds.

Jorge Gutierrez had 12 points and six rebounds for California.

Leading 46-26, the Rebels opened the second half by hitting consecutive 3-pointers and eventually built their largest lead at 7245 with 8:41 remaining.

The Golden Bears cut the lead to 13 points three times in the final 4 minutes.

With the Rebels’ win, the Mountain West Conference is 11-3 against the Pac-12 this season.

After California led 5-2, the Rebels dominated, taking the lead for good at 118 on a 3-pointer by Moser with 15:52 left. The Rebels went on a 21-6 run after the Bears cut it to 15-14.

Stanback capped the half with a 3-pointer from the right corner at the buzzer.

The Rebels had 14 assists in the first half, nine

by Bellfield. In the first half, UNLV shot 54 percent from the field and 5 of 11 from 3point range. The Rebels finished 9 of 24.

California shot 32 percent from the field in the first half and finished at 38 percent for the game.

BIG BEN OUT AGAINST RAMS

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not start Saturday when the Steelers face the St. Louis Rams.

Roethlisberger is dealing with a sprained left ankle and did not practice this week following a 20-3 loss to San Francisco on Monday. He will be replaced by veteran Charlie Batch, who is 4-2 as a spot starter since joining the Steelers in 2003.

Roethlisberger said Wednesday he would prefer to play and believed his ankle was in pretty good shape after throwing for 330 yards and three interceptions against the 49ers.

Yet he watched both practices this week in sweat pants as Batch took the snaps with the first team.

waiting a long time. I’ve been waiting my whole career to do it.”

Backus joined Detroit in 2001, and seven years later was on the only 0-16 team in NFL history. These Lions, led by star receiver Calvin Johnson and headline-making defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, started the season 5-0, slumped, but by beating San Diego they will be 10-5.

And in the playoffs.

“I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion,” Backus said. “I take a lot of pride in what we do here and the emphasis we’ve had on trying to get it turned around, and things are starting to pay of f.

We’ve just got to finish it out the right way.”

So does San Diego: The Chargers (7-7) still have

playof f hopes, too, after winning three in a row.

“Yeah, I think it’s a playof f game for both teams from an approach standpoint,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “I would like to think we approach all of them that way, but certainly being two weeks left in the season and ... they clinch it (if) they win. If we win, we stay alive, so it’s obviously a big-time game for both teams.”

Atlanta also can grab a wild card if it beats New Orleans on Monday night.

The holiday weekend began with Reggie Wayne catching a 1-yard touchdown pass from Dan Orlovsky with 19 seconds left to lead the Indianapolis Colts past the Houston

Texans 19-16 Thursday night. The Colts (2-13) have won two straight, both against division foes, behind Orlovsky, the former Texans quarterback who lost his first nine NFL starts. The Texans (10-5) fell to 0-10 in Indianapolis.

Arian Foster had 23 carries for 158 yards and scored the Texans’ only touchdown on the third play of the game.

Manning faces decision about comeback

New Orleans’ Drew Brees scrambles during the second half the Saints’ game against Minnesota, Sunday. Brees and the Saints play division rival Atlanta on Monday Night Football.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton Manning’s passion for football runs through his veins.

His dad played, his older brother played, his younger brother still plays and now Peyton is working feverishly to retur n to the family business.

There’s no doubt Manning wants to come back in 2012, the question is whether it’s too risky for a 35-year -old quarterback with three neck surgeries in less than two years to keep playing such a violent sport.

“If he is healthy and he is pain free, I’d let him play, knowing there’s a slightly elevated risk (of a different disk injury),” said Dr. Anders Cohen, chief of neurosurgery and spine surgery at The Brooklyn Hospital Center. “Even a per-

son off the street with this type of surgery has an elevated risk of an adjacent disk injury. He (Manning) might have a slightly higher risk than the person off the street, but you have to offset that against the fact that he’s a superior athlete.”

Cohen has not treated Manning but knows the procedure and recovery process well. The surgeon makes an incision in the front of the neck, removes the soft disk tissue between two vertebrae and fuses the bones together with a graft.

Normally, it takes three to four months for the bones to firmly heal.

Manning needed the surgery to fix a damaged nerve that was causing weakness in his throwing arm.

Why would Manning give up his football career?

He doesn’t need money.

Since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1998 draft, Manning has signed three contracts with the Colts worth a total of $236 million and earned millions more in endorsements.

He doesn’t crave fame.

Manning doesn’t even use the popular social networking sites and has increasingly done his charity work behind the scenes.

He doesn’t have to build a Hall of Fame resume.

PSU saga voted AP sports story of year

NEW YORK (AP) — The ouster of one of America’s most revered coaches, Penn State’s Joe Paterno, after shocking child sex abuse charges against his former assistant was overwhelmingly voted the sports story of the year by members of The Associated Press.

On the morning of Nov. 5, Paterno’s Nittany Lions were undefeated in the Big Ten and ranked No. 16 in the country, and the 84-year-old Hall of Famer was renowned as the winningest coach in Division I football, a leader who preached and practiced “Success with Honor.” Then came the staggering revelations: the indictment of longtime defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky for allegedly sexually assaulting eight boys over a 15-year span, perjury charges against two high-ranking school administrators — and a grand jury report that suggested Paterno knew of accusations against Sandusky and did not do enough to pursue them.

Within four days, Penn State’s board of trustees had done the once-unthinkable, firing JoePa after 46 seasons as head coach.

There were 214 ballots submitted from U.S. news organizations that make up the AP’s membership. The voters were asked to rank the top 10 sports stories of the year, with the first-place story getting 10

See NFL, Page B2

points, the second-place story receiving nine points, and so on.

The Penn State saga received 2,044 points and 172 first-place votes. It was also voted the No. 6 news story for 2011 in the AP’s annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors.

The No. 2 sports story — labor strife in the NFL and NBA — had 15 first-place votes and 1,345 points.

The turmoil that at times seemed to rock college sports on a weekly basis this year was evident in the voting beyond the Penn State selection. Three more of the top 10 stories involved upheaval in the NCAA: conference realignment (No. 4); the Ohio State infractions that cost Jim Tressel his job (No. 6); and more sex abuse accusations, these involving Syracuse basketball (No. 9).

Tiger Woods’ humbling return to the public eye was the top story last year.

Here are 2011’s Top 5 stories: 1. PENN STATE: Pater no said in a statement Nov. 9, “It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more,” and that he would retire at the end of the season.

No. 13 Wisconsin beats MVSU, 79-45

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Jordan Taylor scored 17 points to lead No. 13 Wisconsin to a 79-45 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Friday in the Badgers’ final game before Big Ten play begins.

Playing for the first time in more than a week, the Badgers (11-2) showed no signs of rust, taking a 20-4 lead in the game’s first 8 minutes.

The Delta Devils (1-10) were able to cut the lead to 11 points twice in the first half and showed signs they might make it a game. But foul trouble and Wisconsin’s free-throw shooting eventually wore them down.

Mississippi Valley State was called for 29 fouls, with one player fouling out and three ending the game with four fouls.

Part of that came from the

physical mismatches the Delta Devils faced. The rest was more of an effort by the Badgers to get to the line the last couple of weeks.

Over the first seven games, the Badgers were more of a perimeter team, averaging more than 24 3point attempts a game and just nine free-throw attempts. But Wisconsin had shown more balance over the previous five games coming into Friday, taking almost 17 3s and attempting more than 19 free throws.

On Friday, the Badgers took that trend to the other extreme. They were 4 of 10 on 3s and 31 of 44 on free throws. Their season high for attempts coming in was 21.

Paul Crosby and Terrence Joyner both scored 14 points for the Delta Devils.

Green Bay hosts Chicago on Christmas night.

Atlanta (9-5) at New Orleans (11-3), MNF It’s simple for the Saints: a win and they own the NFC South title. New Orleans has won six straight since an inexplicable defeat at St. Louis, scoring 197 points in that streak. The Saints also have won five of six against Atlanta, including 26-23 in overtime last month when Falcons coach Mike Smith’s overtime gamble on fourthand-1 failed.

While Atlanta needs lots of help to surpass the Saints even with a victory in prime time, it gets an NFC wild card with a win.

Chicago (7-7) at Green Bay (13-1), SNF With the pursuit of perfection gone pfft, the Packers need to get healthy for the playoffs. They have lost leading receiver Greg Jennings until January, and injuries have hit both lines.

But they also need one more win to secure not having to leave Lambeau Field in the NFC playoffs.

Chicago still has slim wild-card hopes despite losing its last four. With the second string playing at many key offensive sports, keeping up with Green Bay’s prolific offense is an even slimmer hope.

Philadelphia (6-8) at Dallas (8-6) Hard to believe the Eagles remain alive in the NFC East, yet there they are. Win out, have the Giants fall to the Jets and then beat Dallas, and guess who walks off with the division? Yep, Philly.

St. Louis (2-12) at Pittsburgh (10-4) Some people think the Steelers will rest Ben Roethlisberger and his injured left ankle, although the quarterback won’t be too fond of that with playoff implications involved.

Those same folks believe the Steelers can handle the awful Rams with Charlie Batch behind center. Or maybe without any QB at all.

The Rams’ Steven Jackson needs 34 yards rushing to become the seventh player in NFL history to gain 1,000 yards in seven or more consecutive seasons.

Cleveland (4-10) at Baltimore (10-4) The Ravens must falter for Pittsburgh to have a shot at the AFC North; Baltimore swept the season series. And the Ravens sure did falter last week at San Diego.

Still, Baltimore hasn’t lost to Cleveland in the last seven meetings, the Browns are decimated by injuries and distracted by the mishandling of QB Colt McCoy’s concussion.

Denver (8-6) at Buffalo (5-9) The Tebow Express was derailed by New England last week, but now faces one of the NFL’s biggest flops since the midway point. While T im Tebow, Willis McGahee, a staunch defense and some clever coaching by John Fox have taken the Broncos from 2-5 to the verge of the division title — a win and an Oakland loss does the job — Buffalo has been stampeded the last seven weeks.

Oakland (7-7) at Kansas City (6-8) Strangely, the Chiefs remain alive in the AFC West and by beating their archrivals, getting an upset

by Buffalo and then taking down the Broncos next week in Denver, they could walk off with the prize. Barring, of course, San Diego sweeping its two games in that scenario.

defense came alive last week in Romeo Crennel’s first game as interim coach, it certainly could shut down Oakland, which continues to hurt itself with mistakes, especially penalties.

New York Giants (7-7) at New York Jets (8-6) For all the local blather surrounding the first Big Apple matchup that counts in four years, this game doesn’t move the meter a whole lot outside the New York area. Both teams have disappointed, with the Giants losing five of their last six, including an inept performance against Washington last week after taking control of the NFC East.

Eli Manning is having his best season, far superior to what Mark Sanchez has done for the Jets, and that quarterbacking edge could be decisive.

New York — uh, the guys in green — can move very close to an AFC wild card with a win, plus Cincinnati and Oakland losses.

Arizona started 1-6, but coach Ken Whisenhunt and staff have done nearly as strong a job keeping the faith as they did back in 2008. All the Cardinals did then was come within a few minutes of the NFL title.

Their surge has been sparked by a rapidly improving defense and a tremendous knack for winning in overtime: 3-0.

San Francisco (11-3) at Seattle (7-7) Coming off an impressive victory over Pittsburgh in prime time, the 49ers have another tough chore. On short rest, they travel to Seattle, which has won five of six and is in the wildcard chase. The Niners can’t afford to stumble if they want to earn a firstround playoff bye, so don’t look for them to rest many regulars.

Marshawn L ynch has been a terror in the ground game with touchdowns in 10 straight games and has gone over 1,000 yards rushing for Seattle, which needs lots of help along with two wins to make the postseason.

Minnesota (2-12) at Washington (5-9) Coming of f a lopsided victory over the Giants, the Redskins are trying to build something for next year, with rookie Roy Helu a major contributor at running back. The Vikings soon can start building, too, with a very high draft pick after what has been an extremely disappointing first full season for coach Leslie Frazier. DE Jared Allen is five sacks from Strahan’s record.

Tampa Bay (4-10) at Carolina (5-9) Tampa has gone from 4-2 and a contender to the bottom of the NFC South, jeopardizing coach Raheem Morris’ job. Only Philadelphia has committed more turnovers than the Bucs’ 32 and the defense has come unglued.

That bodes well for the improving Panthers, who have the playmakers on offense with Cam Newton, Steve Smith, DeAngelo Williams and Greg Olsen to send Tampa to a ninth straight defeat.

They were twice down to their final strike in Game 6 against the Texas Rangers, who were up by two runs in the ninth and 10th innings.

Super Bowl ring more than inductees such as Dan Fouts, Dan Marino and Fran Tarkenton, and Manning ranks third alltime in touchdown passes and yards passing.

Plus, he has two more reasons to worry — being healthy enough to play with his new twins.

“Last week’s decision on my CT scan and the X-rays, the doctors’ interpretation, was a good sign for my overall health and that was important to me,” Manning said recently on CBS’ pregame show. “Ashley and I have new twins, have 8-month-old twins, and it’s important for me to be in good health to play with them, to roll around on the floor and have some fun, so that was encouraging to me. The football thing will answer itself in the next few months.”

It’s clear the Colts still want to keep their franchise quarterback, too.

Indy holds a $28 million option that must be paid to Manning in early March or he could become a free agent. The team could also redo the contract to make it more salary-cap friendly and perhaps keep some of Manning’s old pals around in 2012.

On Thursday night, team owner Jim Irsay said health, not money, will dictate whether Manning is still playing in blueand-white in 2012.

“I don’t see (money) being the issue. I paid him $26 million this year, and he did not play,” Irsay told NFL Network during

CLASSIFIEDS

its pregame show. “I knew it was an iffy situation going (into the season). In terms of if he’s healthy and if he’s ready to play, I see him back with us.”

Still, there are risks.

Over his lifetime, Manning runs a 15 percent to 20 percent chance of injuring a disk directly above or below the two that were fused in September, Cohen said.

Dr. Andrew Hecht, director of spine surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, concurs with Cohen’s assessment though he said Manning runs no greater risk of injury than any other player on the field. Hecht has not treated Manning either, but has worked with Jets players.

“I have no concerns at all,” Hecht said.

“There are numerous players playing in the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NHL and professional basketball that have had successful one-level fusions in the neck. If it’s solidly fused, there’s no risk. Any (player) can have an injury at another level, but so can anybody else.”

But finding comparisons to Manning’s case is tough. Few athletes rely exclusively on throwing a ball and even fewer have performed at such a high level for more than a decade.

Until this injury, it didn’t seem anything could slow Indy’s franchise quarterback.

Two years ago, he led the Colts to a 14-0 start, the second Super Bowl appearance of the Indianapolis era and collected his record fourth MVP Award. Last season, with injured players going down all around him, Manning essentially willed the Colts to a seventh AFC South title in eight years and within one defensive stop of advancing in the playoffs. This year, with Manning,

Indy was supposed to be a Super Bowl contender.

Without him, it took 14 games just to get a win, but there has been promising news in recent weeks.

On Dec. 1, Manning was told the bones had healed and he could begin increasing his workout activity.

Cohen and Hecht said that diagnosis meant Manning could begin throwing a football as soon as he felt strong enough.

Last Wednesday, 12 days after the most recent diagnosis, Manning pulled on his pads, strapped on a helmet and walked onto the practice field for a workout. He took snaps from center Jeff Saturday and threw passes to running back Joseph Addai, receiver Anthony Gonzalez and another receiver from the practice squad as team vice chairman Bill Polian and coach Jim Caldwell watched.

Polian and Addai both gave good reviews.

Those who know Manning best have few doubts he’ll be back in a No. 18 jersey next season.

“Yeah, I think he’ll play if he’s healthy,” said Saturday, one of Manning’s closest friends. “The guy loves the game.”

Offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen added: “I’ve probably been around some competitors that are equal to him, but no one that competes more than him. He loves the competition, the preparation, everything about it. ... He just loves to play football.”

Cohen and Hecht both say it’s a doctor’s responsibility to explain the potential consequences to Manning, and Christensen has promised to have that discussion too.

The questions have forced the Colts to

start looking for a successor to Manning, which has grown far more complicated.

Until winning two games in five days, Indy was the heavy front-runner to get the No. 1 pick in April’s draft. Most analysts expect that slot to be used on Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.

While a loss next week at Jacksonville could still give the Colts the top overall selection, a win may move Indianapolis back one or two spots, likely removing Luck from the equation and force Indianapolis to find somebody else to groom for the job.

“We have had conversation, obviously, during this whole year. I won’t get into detail what him and I discuss when we meet, but I think we’ve always been on the same page,” Irsay said. “This is really about, is he going to be able to come back, and really be the old Peyton Manning and play at a very high level.”

His father can’t imagine it happening any other way.

“He loves to play and I think if he gets his health back, he’s still capable of playing,” Archie Manning said. “That’s his DNA.”

men who send me their numbers.

Most of them then drop further attempts at communication; others do not.

My problem is it continues to happen. I don’t remember being that popular when I was young, so it has caught me off guard. I suspended my account several times, but reactivated it because I miss the connection with extended family and friends.

I’m getting turned off to responding to any “friend” requests anymore because it seems that most men just want to recapture some youthful fantasy. How do I handle this?

DEAR ABBY: I have been happily married for more than 20 years. I joined an online social network to keep in touch with family, friends and my kids who are in college. I love the convenience, but I’m in a quandary.

A number of men from my past (some I dated and some not) have contacted me online with their phone numbers and asked me to call them.

I was flattered at first, but now I think phone communication would be inviting trouble.

I politely inform friends who push the issue that I’m happy to catch up online, but out of respect for my husband and my marriage I don’t call

DEAR BLAST: You are handling it very well just the way you are. #####

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Ian,” and I are in our 30s. Although we have been together for seven months, his family is not yet over his ex-wife. They invite her for dinner, share weekend visitation with Ian’s daughter with her, and remind him constantly that they are disappointed with his decision.

Jumble

COMICS

Ian has moved on. He would like to cut all ties with his ex, but his family won’t allow it. He’s afraid if he puts his foot down it will destroy the already strained relationship he has with them.

My family accepts Ian, but his refuses to admit I exist. How do we deal with this? It’s Ian’s life, and he has the right to choose who he spends it with.

INVISIBLE WOMAN IN PHILLY DEAR INVISIBLE WOMAN: Toughen up, grit your teeth and continue the relationship. Remember, because a child is involved, Ian cannot completely move on. As for his parents, accept that their grandchild’s mother will always be a part of their lives so get used to it. If this romance leads to the altar, you will meet Ian’s family at some point. ##### DEAR ABBY: My friend “Cailin” is very sensitive and not very accepting. She’s also unforgiving and tends to get into stupid arguments about nothing. Since the sixth grade it has gotten even worse.

DEAR SHARING FRIENDS: Cailin is immature, insecure and possessive. She’s afraid that if the new girl talks to other people, the girl will no longer like and depend on her. That’s why she was angry when you sat down with them.

By all means discuss this with the dean of students. The dean may have a solution that will allow the new girl a chance to make friends with more of her classmates — including you.

There is a new girl in school who seems to be a really nice, friendly person. Cailin was the first one to meet her and she wouldn’t let anyone else sit with them.

I told my mom about it and she said to just sit down with them both.

Today I did what my mom said to do.

When Cailin saw us together, she was steaming. She ignored me for the rest of the day.

I don’t want to keep the new girl, just share her. Why can’t Cailin and I both be friends with her? Is there any way I could talk to her? I’m considering talking to the dean of students. Would this be OK? SHARING FRIENDS IN COLORADO

Dear Heloise: Can you please provide the home recipe for making VANILLA EXTRACT? Cindy, via email

Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, as suggested by the above cartoon.

(Answers Monday) WRING BATTER SIMILE Jumbles: VERGE Answer: Valley Ave. in Bangor is a — “MAINE” STREET

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Yes, I can, and it’s a fun project to do, too! This is fairly easy to make. Start with a 1-liter bottle of either vodka or white rum and two vanilla beans, which you can find in most stores. The vanilla flavor comes from the seed, not the bean!

To expose the seeds, carefully cut open each vanilla bean lengthwise. If they are hard to cut, soak them in the vodka or rum until they become soft.

Next, put them in the rum or vodka, seal the bottle and let the mixture cure for at least 30 days.

Then taste to see if it is strong enough. If not, let it sit for a few more days until you are satisfied with the flavor.

As you use the extract, you can replace the liquid by adding more vodka or rum. Once the flavor is not as strong, use what is left and make a new batch.

Enjoy this added flavor in your baked goods or morning coffee.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: I have read your column in various newspapers in the cities we’ve lived in and have very much enjoyed your pet hints.

They were very interesting and informative. I learned a lot about animals. Because I am a dog lover, the dog hints were especially useful.

I am very disappointed that you have discontinued this column. Please start featuring these hints again for all of us pet lovers.

Barbara Fearn, Baraboo, Wis. Barbara, thanks for the feedback. I didn’t really discontinue the column; the pet hints are now sprinkled throughout the weekly column. The Saturday column still has Pet Pals (see below), so please continue to read my column!

Dear Readers: Paul in Hammond, Ind., sent a photo of a cute and funny white bulldog with its tongue hanging out in the shape of a “W.” Paul just happened to spot him and took the photo opportunity! To see the bulldog, visit my website at www.Heloise.com to check out the Pet of the Week.

Dear Heloise: I like to sleep on my own pillow when we travel, but my white pillowcase tends to blend in with the hotel’s linens, and I have left it behind on occasion.

Now I use an old, brightly colored or patterned pillowcase that is difficult to overlook when we are packing up.

Bill and Anita, via email

My similar travel hint: I pack two “faux satin” black pillowcases to use - can’t miss them!

2 Corinthians 9:15 “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift” NASB

What are you thankful for? When we get to December every year, the first thing that we always think about is presents. We begin to think about the things that we really want; we make a wish list and throw out the hints to our family and friends. We want gifts that we can use, and every man hopes he gets more than new undershirts and socks.

Paul stopped to think about what he was thankful for and that was the ultimate gift in his life. That ultimate gift was his salvation in Jesus Christ. Paul was so thankful for his salvation, and a personal relationship with the Lord. As you do a gift inventory this Christmas, don’t forget about what you have in Jesus, it’s truly indescribable! God bless you, Roswell!
