Veterans cemetery dedicated in Roswell Vol. 122, No. 313 75¢ Daily / $1.25 Sunday

JILL MCLAUGHLIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

After years of struggle, it took the strong will of local veterans, officials and community businesses to provide Roswell with its own official cemetery to honor its service men and women.

U.S. Ar my Vietnam veteran Robert Jensen stood in the bitter cold Monday, on a freshly paved street to watch the dedication ceremonies.

Surrounding the stage were Southeast New Mexico Legion Riders standing at attention, holding the American Flag. An honor guard marched forward before the crowd stood for the singing of the “Star -Spangled Banner.”

“To see something like this, is very heartwarming,” Jensen said.

In his time, veterans were spat on, he said.

On stage, Air Force veteran Rep. Steve Pearce, R-NM, a pilot who served in missions over Vietnam, was joined by state, local officials and cemetery committee members.

“I think Roswell is setting an example nationwide for other places that are just tired of waiting on a federal government that is too slow, too bureaucratic, and sometimes gets caught up in the mundane pieces rather than the willingness to remember,” Pearce said.

“We will remember here. We will dedicate. We will hallow this ground ... locally. If Washington

chooses to join, good for them,” Pearce said. “But we’re going to do it on our own.”

Though plans for the cemetery were years in the making, the final pieces fell into place quickly in the past few months. The McBride family donated 20 acres north of, and directly adjacent to, the South Park Cemetery.

After Gov. Susana Martinez announced in July the creation of the State Veterans Cemetery Initiative to designate four rural sites in the state to place new cemeteries, Roswell veterans and officials put plans into high gear.

Instead of waiting two years for possible funding from the state or federal government, a coalition of veterans and officials began planning to develop on the land in

Medicaid growth creates gap of 5M with no coverage

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — About 5 million people will be without health care next year that they would have gotten simply if they lived somewhere else in America.

They make up a coverage gap in President Barack Obama’s signature health care law created by the domino effects of last year’s Supreme Court ruling and states’ subsequent policy decisions.

The court effectively left it up to states to decide whether to open Medicaid, the federal-state program

for the poor and disabled, to more people, primarily poor working adults without children.

Twenty-five states declined. That leaves 4.8 million people in those states without the health care coverage that their peers elsewhere are getting through the expansion of Medicaid, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation estimate. More than onefifth of them live in Texas alone, Kaiser’s analysis found.

Among those in the gap is Cheryl Jones, a 61-year-

old part-time home-care worker from Erie, Pa., who makes do without health insurance by splitting in half pills for high blood pressure, which she gets from a friend, not a pharmacist. She’d also like to visit a dentist to fix her broken partial dentures. A new pair of glasses might be nice, too.

“There are a lot of us who need medical help now,” she said. “I need new glasses, I need to go to a dentist, I need my medicine. ...

Think about us working poor. We pay our taxes.”

The Medicaid expansion was supposed to work hand-in-hand with tax credits subsidizing private insurance for people with slightly higher incomes, two keys to the law’s broader aim of extending health insurance to 30 million more people. As an enticement for states to expand Medicaid, the federal government promises to pay nearly all of the cost.

Without the expansion, the law is unable to help See MEDICAID, Page A3

Despite new gadgets, home electricity use in US is falling

NEW YORK (AP) — The average amount of electricity consumed in U.S. homes has fallen to levels last seen more than a decade ago, back when the smartest device in people’s pockets was a Palm pilot and anyone talking about a tablet was probably an archaeologist or a preacher.

Because of more energy-efficient housing, appliances and gadgets, power usage is on track to decline in 2013 for the third year in a row, to 10,819 kilowatt-hours per household, according to the Energy Information Administration.

That’s the lowest level since 2001, when households averaged 10,535 kwh.

And the drop has occurred even though our lives are more electrified.

Here’s a look at what has changed since the last time consumption was so

low.

BETTER HOMES In the early 2000s, as energy prices rose, more states adopted or toughened building codes to force builders to better seal homes so heat or air-conditioned air doesn’t seep out so fast. That means newer homes waste less energy.

Also, insulated windows and other building technologies have dropped in price, making retrofits of existing homes more affordable. In the wake of the financial crisis, billions of dollars in Recovery Act funding was directed toward home-efficiency programs.

BETTER GADGETS Big appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners have gotten more efficient thanks to federal energy standards that get stricter every few years as

technology evolves.

A typical room air conditioner — one of the biggest power hogs in the home — uses 20 percent less electricity per hour of full operation than it did in 2001, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers.

Central air conditioners, refrigerators, dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines and dryers also have gotten more efficient.

Other devices are using less juice, too.

Some 40-inch LED televisions bought today use 80 percent less power than the cathode ray tube televisions of the past. Some use just $8 worth of electricity over a year when used five hours a day — less than a 60-watt incandescent bulb would use.

long time coming,” for area veterans, said Bob Holley, a U.S. Navy veteran.

“I love it,” Holley said. The dedication “was beautiful.”

Steve Orlinski, a Vietnam Warera veteran, said he thought the turnout was terrific.

“I’m glad to have this kind of backing for something like this,” Orlinski said.

Orlinski said he plans to be buried in the veterans cemetery.

“My family is buried a couple blocks away,” Orlinski said, pointing across to the South Park Cemetery lots. “I’m going to be right next door.”

The City of Roswell allocated $75,000 this month to pay for improvements to install a water system, sprinklers, electrical work and a drive-up area, with the expectation of the city being selected as one of the state’s four rural sites.

The Veterans Cemetery Board expects to propose naming the cemetery the Roswell-McBride Veterans Cemetery, to honor the McBride family for its donation, said retired Col. Ron McKay. The cemetery committee plans to first develop only one acre on the land and begin burying in February.

SANTA FE (AP) — Claude Stephenson was having lunch recently in Santa Fe when the conversation turned to which place in San Antonio, N.M., had the best green chile cheeseburger, the Owl Bar & Cafe or the Buckhorn Tavern.

Stephenson argued for the Buckhorn, for its food as well as its ambiance. He noted that owner Bobby Olguin — whose family has operated the tavern for generations — is not just a good cook, but a musician as well.

“I’m the state folklorist,” Stephenson said. “I know where all the colorful characters are.”

Stephenson, a native of Alamogordo, undoubtedly always will know where the colorful characters — and the great food — are. But after the end of the year, he’ll no longer have the title of state folklorist. After 23 years of working at that job, Stephenson, 61, is retiring.

Don’t feel bad if you don’t know what a “state folklorist” is. Before he got the job and a friend first tipped him off that there was an opening for the position, Stephenson said his first reaction was: “There’s a job like that?”

There is. The state created the position in the 1980s when a woman named Bess Lomax Dawes, director of the Folk and Traditional Arts Program at the National Endowment for the Arts, was trying to get all 50 states to appoint state folklorists. Dawes was the daughter of musicologist John Lomax and the sister of Alan Lomax, both of whom are famous for their field recordings of folk musicians.

The position started out under the Museum of International Folk Art, though by the time Stephenson started in the position in 1991, it was under the state Office of Cultural Affairs, where it remains today.

It seemed like a perfect fit for Stephenson, who is an accomplished musician. Since the 1970s, he has volunteered at KUNM in Albuquerque, hosting folk music shows as well as a long-running program that featured New MexSee FOLKLORIST, Page A3

Arizona policy change benefits Navajo students

FARMINGTON (AP) — Navajo Nation students who live in New Mexico or Utah stand to benefit from a policy change approved by the Arizona Board of Regents.

Under the policy change, Native American students who are enrolled members of a federally recognized tribe whose reservation lies entirely or partially in Arizona will be eligible for in-state tuition rates at Arizona’s three state universities.

The Navajo Reservation is located in northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico and southeastern Utah. The change takes effect in the spring semester, The Daily Times reported.

Non-resident students attending Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona pay tuition rates that are higher than the rates paid by state residents.

Regents hope that the change will encourage Native American students attending colleges outside of Arizona to return to the state.

Rose Graham, director of the Office of Navajo Nation Scholarship and Financial Assistance, said the revised policy expands higher education opportunities for Navajo students.

Graham said it also helps students who live on the reservation but who have off-reservation mailing addresses because their reservation communities lack post offices.

Under the former policy, those students would have to provide proof of residence on tribal lands, triggering a long, drawn out appeal process in order to qualify for state tuition, Graham said.

“College officials were not fully aware of the situations faced by students living on the Navajo Nation,” she said.

John R. Lewis, executive director of the Intertribal Council of Arizona, said the change will help strengthen efforts for workforce development and diversity.

The board of regents said the policy revision is not retroactive to previous semesters.

Police: Child who died was abused ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico’s child welfare agency had an Albuquerque family on its radar because of child abuse allegations before a 9-year-old boy was found dead at their home Friday, investigators say.

Police said the boy had suffered multiple current and past injuries, including cigarette burns to his body, The Albuquerque Journal reported.

The boy’s mother, Synthia Varela-Casaus, 38, is facing child abuse charges in his death.

A criminal complaint filed against Varela-Casaus says she initially didn’t ask about her son’s condition or seem upset during a police interview but she eventually said she kicked the boy in the stomach and he fell, hitting his head on the dresser and then again on the floor. The complaint said she then kicked him at least two more times while he was on the ground.

“I was disciplining him and I kicked him the wrong way; it was an accident,” she said as she was led by police into the Prisoner Transport Center on Saturday. “I messed up.”

Varela-Casaus called 911 Friday evening, telling arriving officers her son had fallen off a bouncing toy horse and hit his head, court documents and police said. But officers were suspicious because the boy was cold to the touch, Albuquerque police spokesman Simon Drobik said.

“When officers arrived on scene, he was already cold to the touch, so they knew it hadn’t happened when (Varela-Casaus) said it had,” Drobik said.

Medical professionals cited in the criminal complaint said the child’s current and past injuries were extensive.

Cigarette burns were found on the boy’s chest, upper lip and back; a bite mark was found on his left arm; and he was bruised above his genitals and on his back, according to the complaint.

Drobik said the family had been on the state Children, Youth and Family Department’s radar for a long time and, according to the complaint, the boy had complained of abuse in the past.

Henry Varela, a spokesman for the child welfare agency who has no relation to the family, said the agency couldn’t comment on current or previous cases, including the Varela-Casaus case. But Varela said, in general, the department can only take custody of children when ordered by law enforcement or through the courts.

“In the general situation where there would be an allegation of abuse, whether it’s coming from a child or not, CYFD is always going to do a thorough investigation on any allegation of abuse. But CYFD does not have the authority to just go in and take custody of a child,” Varela said.

Fifty-five tax breaks to expire

WASHINGTON (AP) — In an almost annual ritual, Congress is letting a package of 55 popular tax breaks expire at the end of the year, creating uncertainty — once again — for millions of individuals and businesses.

Lawmakers let these tax breaks lapse almost every year, even though they save businesses and individuals billions of dollars. And almost every year, Congress eventually renews them, retroactively, so taxpayers can claim them by the time they file their tax returns.

No harm, no foul, right?

After all, taxpayers filing returns in the spring won’t be hurt because the tax breaks were in effect for 2013. Taxpayers won’t be hit until 2015, when they file tax retur ns for next year.

Not so far. Trade groups and tax experts complain that Congress is making it impossible for businesses and individuals to plan for the future. What if lawmakers don’t renew the tax break you depend on? Or what if they change it and you’re no longer eligible?

“It’s a totally ridiculous way to run our tax system,” said Rachelle Bernstein, vice president and tax counsel for the National Retail Federation. “It’s impossible to plan when every year this happens, but yet business has gotten used to that.”

Some of the tax breaks

Roswell Daily Record

are big, including billions in credits for companies that invest in research and development, generous exemptions for financial institutions doing business overseas, and several breaks that let businesses write of f capital investments faster.

Others are more obscure, the benefits targeted to film producers, race track owners, makers of electric motorcycles and teachers who buy classroom supplies with their own money.

There are tax rebates to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands from a tax on rum imported into the United States, and a credit for expenses related to railroad track maintenance.

A deduction for state and local sales taxes benefits people who live in the nine states without state income taxes. Smaller tax breaks benefit college students and commuters who use public transportation.

A series of tax breaks promote renewable energy, including a credit for power companies that produce electricity with windmills.

The annual practice of letting these tax breaks expire is a symptom a divided, dysfunctional Congress that struggles to pass routine legislation, said Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, a senior Democrat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

“It’s not fair, it’s very hard, it’s very difficult for a

ROSWELL MAN DIES IN VEHICLE COLLISION A Roswell man, Kevin Avery, 37, died Saturday after his motorcycle crashed into a car that was turning onto Main Street.

The accident occurred around 3 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of North Main and 12th streets.

The driver told officials she was leaving Cattle Baron restaurant.

When she arrived at the stop sign

she looked both left and right before trying to cross the intersection, heading west.

A witness reported that he heard loud exhaust as a motorcycle accelerated. As the driver of the Mitsubishi entered Main Street, it was struck from the side by the motorcycle which was travelling northbound at a high rate of speed.

SHOOTING AFTER MINOR CAR ACCIDENT

Burglary

•Police responded to Cajun Court, Sunday. The 89year -old victim reported $10,500 worth of items stolen, including: a tool box, a coin collection, a Ruger 22 caliber rifle, some jewelry, a Purple Heart and Christmas gifts.

•Police were called to the 1100 block of South Kentucky Avenue, Saturday, after burglars forced entry into a residence and took a Bulls hat, a Dolpins hat, Chuck Taylor shoes, a Hello Kitty hat, a purple hat, a Tmax tablet, a Playstation 3, and two televisions, one 50-inch flat screen and one 46-inch flat screen, an HP computer and monitor. Damages to the door jamb and wall were assessed at $175. The stolen items were valued at $2,658.

•Police were dispatched to the 300 block of South Hemlock Avenue, Saturday, where subjects pried open the door to a residence and removed a socket set, miscellaneous tools, a tool box, a strobe light and a white Mongoose bicycle. The value of the items was estimated at $400.

• Police were called to the 300 block of South Sycamore Avenue, Sunday, after subjects pried open a door and took a drill bit set, a drill and some tools, valued at $175.

Arson

Police responded to Walmart, 4500 N. Main St., Saturday, where subjects set trash in the north parking lot on fire.

Anyone with information about these or any other crimes is asked to call Crime Stoppers 888594-TIPS (8477). Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward.

Officers with the Roswell Police Department responded to the 300 block of South Delaware Avenue in reference to a shooting around 7:15 p.m. Sunday.

RPD Public Information Liaison Sabrina Morales said the female victim, who was travelling southbound on Delaware Avenue, stopped at a stop sign at the corner of Delaware and Tilden Street. The woman was texting and failed to noticed another vehicle traveling west on Tilden.

When the Chevy Tahoe entered the intersection, it struck the rear passenger side of the oncoming vehicle.

The woman stopped to exchange insurance information with the other driver. A man exited the vehicle with a gun in his hand. The woman fled the area when he started to shoot at her vehicle.

As officers attempted to locate vehicles involved in the accident and the shooting, the victim drove to the police department to report the incident.

According to the police report, the Chevy Tahoe sustained $1,250 worth of damage to the rear passenger door and window, along with the rear quarter panel.

No one was injured during the incident. The investigation is ongoing.

business person, a company, to plan, not just for the short term but to do longterm planning,” Lewis said.

“It’s shameful.”

With Congress on vacation until January, there is no chance the tax breaks will be renewed before they expire. And there is plenty of precedent for Congress to let them expire for months without addressing them. Most recently, they expired at the end of 2011, and Congress didn’t renew them for the entire year, waiting until New Year’s Day 2013 — just in time for taxpayers to claim them on their 2012 returns.

But Congress only renewed the package though the end of 2013.

Why such a short extension? Washington accounting is partly to blame. The two-year extension Congress passed in January cost $76 billion in reduced revenue for the gover nment, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. Making those tax breaks per manent could add $400 billion or more to the deficit over the next decade.

With budget deficits already high, many in Congress are reluctant to vote for a bill that would add so much red ink. So, they do it slowly, one or two years at a time.

“More cynically, some people say, if you just put it in for a year or two, then that keeps the lobbyists

having to come back and wine-and-dine the congressmen to get it extended again, and maybe make some campaign contributions,” said Mark Luscombe, principal tax analyst for CCH, a consulting firm based in Riverwoods, Ill. This year, the package of tax breaks has been caught up in a debate about overhauling the entire tax code.

The two top tax writers in Congress — House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, RMich., and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. — have been pushing to simplify the tax code by reducing tax breaks and using the additional revenue to lower overall tax rates.

But their efforts have yet to bear fruit, leaving both tax reform and the package of temporary breaks in limbo. When asked how businesses should prepare, given the uncertainty, Camp said: “They need to get on board with tax reform, that’s what they need to do.”

As the Senate wound down its 2013 session, Democratic leaders made a late push to extend many of the tax breaks by asking Republican colleagues to pass a package on the floor of the Senate without debate or amendments.

Republicans objected, saying it wasn’t a serious offer, and the effort failed.

Emergency medical technicians arrived at the scene and attempted to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Avery later succumbed to his injuries.

According to the police, no charges will be pursued following the death of Avery.

But all who rest here will know the faith placed in them by their fellow warriors.�

Many associate the word lore with stories, written or oral. But there’s much more to it than that, Stephenson said. “Lore is a body of knowledge. That can be a lot of things. Material arts like weaving, pottery, basket-making, saddle-making, boot-making, guitar. It can be food, cooking and family recipes, cultural recipes.�

One of Stephenson’s proudest accomplishments was organizing the biggest-ever matachin dancer gathering in the Southwest, which took place in 2008 at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque.

Stephenson wrote his dissertation for his Ph.D. on the music of matachines — ritual dance dramas featuring colorful masks and costumes.

The two-day event featured nine dance groups. Most were from New Mexico, though there also was a Yaqui group from southern Arizona and a Raramuri group from the Sierra Madres in Mexico. Some of the groups were reluctant, Stephenson said. Some of them had never before danced outside their own communities.

Stephenson also organized a series of concerts in 2010 that were recorded on a CD called Masters of New Mexico Traditional Folk Music. Folk musicians from the three major ethnic groups in the state performed. “We wanted to get musicians to play in places that normally don’t get to see them,� he said. “So we brought Northern New Mexico Hispanic musicians to Gallup, traditional Native American musicians to Raton and cowboy musicians — well, there’s not many places where you can’t find cowboy music in this state, so we

people who are below the income threshold where tax credits start kicking in, about $11,500 for working adults.

On Wednesday, 24 states and Washington, D.C., will extend Medicaid to more than 4 million adults who would otherwise fall into the same gap as Jones. Access to the care they’ll get is similar to what people get with private insurance, said Joan Alker, executive director of Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families.

A 25th state, Michigan, plans to expand in April. Wisconsin effectively eliminated its own gap without using the more generous federal contribution.

Politics is apparent in states’ expansion decisions. Of those that joined it, all but five supported Obama in last year’s election. Of those that declined, most are more conservative states in the South, Midwest and northern Rocky Mountains that voted against Obama.

One outlier is Pennsylvania, a moderate industrial belt state that supported Obama twice.

He proclaimed the day “Roswell Cemetery Day.� “This is a project that’s been going on for quite some time,� Jurney said. “Let us hold high those defending our freedom and our way of life.�

State Rep. Bob Wooley, R-Dist. 66, said he plans to take a bill to the Legislature to seek $150,000 in funding to support the cemetery. “This has been going on about three years. There’s been a lot of ups and downs but this finally came together. It’s going to be a great day when we put the first ones in and there’s going to be a lot more after that,� Wooley said.

Ray Willis, who has worked with the McBride family since 1956 said Monday’s celebration was a wonderful tribute to Douglas L McBride, who Eldridge said had a vision of the land someday becoming a veterans cemetery.

He and his wife had decided the night before to donate the funds to buy the mausoleum for the first 192 sets of ashes at the new cemetery. “I think it’s a wonderful thing for the community and the McBride family is 100 percent behind it,� Willis said. “It’s all yours now. Make it work.� had the cowboy musicians play right in the middle of the state, Socorro.�

Sometimes his work as state folklorist got him in trouble, Stephenson said. This happened while he was trying to preserve Native American basket-weaving techniques. Stephenson was arranging for Jicarilla Apache weavers to teach Mescalero Apache weavers how to make “winnowing� baskets and for the Mescaleros to teach the Jicarillas to make “burden� baskets.

Some Jicarillas complained that he was trying to make them give up tribal secrets, Stephenson said.

They complained to the tribal president, who then wrote Stephenson a “nasty letter� telling him he no longer was welcome on the Jicarilla Reservation. That controversy eventually blew over, Stephenson said.

In recent years, with budget cuts and hiring freezes, Stephenson said his job as folklorist has entailed more and more administrative responsibilities, not all of which were related to folklore. For instance, he serves as the Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator, manages the state component of the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces program and is in charge of the state Music Commission. He also was a member of the New Mexico Centennial Steering Committee.

All those added duties have meant that Stephenson isn’t out on the road talking to matachin dancers, basket weavers or cowboy singers, or munching green chile cheeseburgers at the Buckhorn as much as he used to, or as much as he’d like.

He said he told his supervisors when he first started working there that “you don’t find folklore sitting at a desk in Santa Fe. You’ve got to go out into the communities, to celebrations and fiestas, to churches, to bars.�

Then he joked, “So when you see my car parked in front of a bar, I’m doing field work.�

Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican who sued unsuccessfully as attorney general to overturn the health care law, instead plans to ask the federal government to approve an alternative to a Medicaid expansion.

He wants to use the law’s generous Medicaid dollars to cover the same population through private insurance companies while stripping down existing benefits under Medicaid, a target of conservatives’ criticism.

With no guarantee of federal approval, hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians — Kaiser estimates 281,000 — could be stuck in the gap until at least 2015.

Corbett doesn’t apologize for not expanding eligibility right away.

Rather, administration officials say they want to put themselves in a better position to create a successful, affordable program. “Our goal is to absolutely get this plan approved so that every uninsured Pennsylvanian has health care options,� said a senior Corbett aide, Todd Shamash. Corbett’s office declined to make him available for an interview.

In the meantime, the uninsured who fall into this new Medicaid gap are selective about seeking care.

Bombings Continued from Page A1

In addition to the dead, the bombings wounded 104 people, according to Russia’s Health Ministry. As of late Monday, 58 remained hospitalized, many in grave condition.

Suicide bombings have rocked Russia for years, but the insurgents seeking to create an Islamic state have largely confined their attacks to the North Caucasus region in recent years. The blasts in Volgograd signaled that militants want to show their reach outside their native region.

Matthew Clements, an analyst at Jane’s, said Caucasus militants could be targeting major transportation hubs like Volgograd to embarrass the Kremlin and discourage attendance at the Feb. 7-23 Olympics. “The attack demonstrates the militants’ capability to strike at soft targets such as transport infrastructure outside of their usual area of operations in the North Caucasus,� he said in a note.

Some experts say the perpetrators could also have been targeting Russia’s pride by hitting the city formerly called Stalingrad, which is known for the historic battle that turned the tide against Nazi Germany. “Volgograd, a symbol of Russia’s suffering and victory in World War II, has been singled out by the terrorist leaders precisely because of its status in people’s minds,� Dmitry Trenin, the head of the Carnegie Endowment’s Moscow office, said in a commentary on the organization’s website.

A city of 1 million northeast of Sochi, Volgograd is a hub with railway lines running in five directions across the country and numerous bus routes connecting it to the volatile Caucasus provinces.

Security checks on buses have remained largely symbolic and easily avoidable, making them the transport of choice for terrorists in the region. And tighter railway security isn’t always enough to prevent casualties. In Sunday’s attack, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive in front of the train station’s metal detectors, killing 17 people, including the attacker.

Security at Russia’s railway stations and airports has been tightened after a male suicide bomber hit Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport in January 2011, killing 37 people and injuring more than 180. Two bombings on the Moscow subway in March 2010 by female suicide bombers killed 40 people and wounded more than 120.

Umarov, who had claimed responsibility for the 2010 and 2011 bombings, ordered a halt to attacks on civilian targets during the mass demonstrations against Putin in the winter of 2011-12. He reversed that order in July, urging his men to “do their utmost to derail� the Sochi Olympics, which he described as “satanic dances on the bones of our ancestors.�

Aware of the threat, the Sochi organizers have introduced some of the most extensive identity checks and sweeping security measures ever seen at an international sports event.

Anyone wanting to attend the games will have to buy a ticket online from the organizers and obtain a “spectator pass� for access. Doing so will require providing passport details that allow authorities to screen all visitors.

The security zone created around Sochi stretches approximately 100 kilometers (60 miles) along the Black Sea coast and up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) inland.

Russian forces including special troops will patrol the forested mountains flanking the resort and use drones to keep a constant watch over Olympic facilities. Speedboats will patrol the coast and sophisticated sonar will be used to detect submarines.

Cars from outside the Olympic zone will be banned beginning a month before the Winter Games, and Sochi residents are already facing widespread identity checks.

The White House said the U.S. would welcome “closer cooperation� with Russia on security preparations for the safety of athletes, spectators and other participants at the Olympics following the two attacks. “The U.S. government has offered our full support to the Russian government in security preparations for the Sochi Olympic Games,� White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.

Some observers have warned that terrorists may simply choose softer targets in the vicinity of Sochi to sow panic. “Even if they succeed in protecting Sochi, there could be a series of major attacks near Sochi,� Anatoly Yermolin, a veteran KGB officer, told Ekho Moskvy radio.

Vladimir Markin, the spokesman for Russia’s main investigative agency, the Investigative Committee, said Monday’s explosion involved a bomb similar to the one used Sunday, indicating that the two attacks were linked.

Markin said a suicide attacker was responsible for Monday’s bus explosion that killed at least 14 people. It was not clear if authorities counted the bomber in their death toll.

In October, a suicide bombing on a bus in Volgograd killed six people.

OPINION

Governing relies more on experience than charisma

BY SHERRY ROBINSON ALL SHE WROTE

Friends tell us, with a mixture of surprise and parental pride, that a social media site recruited their oldest son. The guy was employed here and didn’t really want to leave New Mexico, but the company threw money and perks at him until he relented.

He had the skills they needed.

If a company was running the Obamacare website, it would have r ec r u it ed som e pe op l e a wa y from Amazon, ebay or another high-traf fic website.

Not that this gets the president off the hook. Low bidder or not, it’s reasonable to expect a project of this magnitude to be better executed. But then the nation’s CEO didn’t have that much experience in this type of thing either.

One thing the president and the gover nor share, in abundance, is their inexperience.

Both rode into office on their charisma, and we’ve lear ned that charisma only goes so far;

it doesn’t make up for experience. They’re both intelligent people, but I’ve thought many times that they would have been far better chief executives with more miles on their personal odometers. Instead, we’ve seen that deer -caught-in-the-headl igh ts loo k o n Pr e si den t Obama’s face, and listened as Gov. Susana Martinez cut loose with ignorant pronouncements that had to be undone later.

Governing for both has been an exercise in on-the-job training.

In the last couple of months, I thought I could see a change.

The governor proposed legislation to certify community health workers, fund more water projects, create new family medicine resident and nurse practitioner training positions at UNM, offer new telemedicine services, and recruit new college faculty, scientists and researchers.

It’s all admirable, but if Mar-

tinez had served a term or two in the Legislature instead of going straight from local district attorney to governor, she would have a perspective on statewide issues, and we might have seen these bills a lot sooner. On the other hand, this passel of proposed legislation represents a turning of the corner, an emergence from the thicket of political posing to a broad concern for the state’s well being.

Or so I thought.

Then she announced another round in the fight over driver’s licen ses for u n d ocu m en t ed im m igr an t s, cou p led wi th a pitch with donations “to help make sure we go into the session prepared to fight” against “organized and well financed” opponents. That would be immigrants’ rights activists, who must be amused that anybody thinks they’re well funded.

Ignoring for a moment that other states have joined New

Mexico in passing such a law, ou r d river ’ s li cen se st at ut e cou ld u se som e t i gh t en in g.

Compromise (none of it coming from the Governor’s Office) has failed in the last three sessions, an d t he d eb at e h as wast ed many hours of precious time n eed ed for mor e pr essin g issues. Ther e’s no r eason to expect different results in the next session.

And maybe that’s the point.

T h e g ov er n or ’ s h an d ler, J ay M cC le sk ey, t old t h e A lb u querque Jour nal the driver’s license pitch is actually to raise money for the re-election campaign. When the bill fails again, the campaign can argue that New Mexico needs Martinez all the more. And it diverts attention from the fact that the governor has accomplished almost nothing.

In the magic show we call politics, illusion matters more than legacy.

How Obama can halt his plunge In January 2009, then president-elect Barack Obama gave what amounted to a preinaugural address at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., during which he made an impassioned case for economic stimulus legislation.

“Only government,” he said, “can break the vicious cycles that are crippling our economy, where a lack of spending leads to lost jobs, which leads to even less spending.”

A new Democratic-controlled Congress passed the so-called American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — with but three Republican votes — giving the new Democratic president the $800 billion (or so) fiscal stimulus he asked for.

Alas, it turned out that the massive government spending yielded neither the economic growth nor the job creation Mr. Obama promised.

We think it no coincidence that the percentage of Americans who view “big government” as a greater threat to the United States than “big labor” and even “big business” has increased, well, big time since President Obama moved into the White House.

In the latest Gallup Poll, 72 percent say big government is the greater threat. That’s up from 64 percent in 2011, which was up from 55 percent in 2009. In fact, it’s the record high since Gallup started asking the question a half-century ago.

We suspect the ill-conceived Obama stimulus contributed to the rising tide of public antipathy to big government. We also imagine the more recent disquieting revelations of the government’s secret surveillance of the American people were a factor.

But we have no doubt that implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which the Democratic-controlled Congress passed in 2010 over the objection of Republicans, has done much to turn Americans against big government. That wariness is tripartisan. It includes 92 percent of Republicans, but also 71 percent of independents, even 56 percent of Democrats.

Now, the Gallup Poll may not be a referendum on Mr. Obama personally (although his overall approval rating currently is the lowest of his presidency). But it certainly is a referendum on his philosophy of governing.

The president reflexively bends toward statism, as evidenced by his extreme makeover of the nation’s health care system. But the American people have long preferred limited government, free markets and individual liberty.

We believe Mr. Obama still can salvage the remaining three years of his presidency.

That is, if he accepts the proposition, as Henry David Thoreau put it, “That government is best which governs least.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Federal Reserve

Dear Editor: There really is a viable solution to America’s debt. When I say debt, I am referring to personal debt, business debt, state debt and city debt.

To solve America’s debt problems all America has to do is reinstate public, state banking.

Of course, this requires getting rid of the Federal Reserve, which is really the sole source of power for the Federal government.

So, what am I really talking about? Well, it is as simple as this. When you get a bank loan today, the money lent to you really comes out of thin air. It is nothing more than a ledger entry

Want to save investigative journalism?

BY JOE CONASON

If you’re the kind of person reading this column over the holidays, then you’re probably the kind of person who worries about the future of American jour nalism. And you very likely know all too well that the dwindling fort u n e s of th e newsp aper industry, the devolution of television news and the rise of Internet news sites have raised big questions about how we will continue to prod u ce qu a li ty r ep or t in g — es p e c ial ly in vest igat ive reporting that takes on the social issues too often neg-

within a computer system.

Now I am asking you to think twice. If you buy a house, for let’s say $300,000, at 5 percent interest, then the ultimate lender puts up nothing, and you pay 5 percent interest, plus principle, to the lender for the next 30 years.

This is the way the Federal Reserve banking system operates, and it is a very, very profitable business. It is exactly like having your own money tree.

Therefore, how do public, state banks operate? Well, the state takes care of everything, including reasonable wages for bank employees, bank security, and the day-to-day operations com-

lected in our media.

Exactly how to preserve and promote investigative jou r n al is m i n a ch an g in g world is a complicated problem that has pr eoccupied publishers, reporters, readers and concerned citizens for years now. But while the news industry financially sorts itself out, solutions are under construction in the n o np r of it se ct or, w her e advertising, click rates and in fo tai nm en t do n’ t ove rwhelm journalistic values.

T his i s w hy, d ur i ng t h e last few days of 2013, I ask you to consider supporting an important institution that

mon to any bank.

The primary dif ference between federally sponsored banks and public, state banks is bank executives do not take home tens of millions in wages, and more in bonuses. In addition, interest charges can be levied at less than half of what private banking charges.

So why don’t more states incorporate public banking? The fact is more than 20 states are now considering state sponsored, public banking, similar to what already exists in North Dakota.

In quick summary, let me say this. The advent of the Federal Reserve System, conceived solely by private banking, was unques-

tionably the acknowledgement of a class based, social system, which has dominated America for the past 90 years. When Americans truly want social equality, then it will be necessary to dissolve the Federal Reserve. Short of that, we can all expect to keep paying America’s most wealthy a substantial part of our income, and thus suffer the brutal consequences of an exploding wealth gap.

January is International Creativity Month. Amanda Davis, reference librarian, shares two beautiful books full of creative inspiration. They are “Nail Art Sourcebook” and “Beautiful LEGO.” Finger nail polish is a popular beauty product used all around the world. Anyone can buy and use it today, but fingernail polish was once considered an elite symbol of social class and wealth in certain ancient cultures. In China and Egypt, the color of the nail polish reflected social rank and red was reserved for royalty, while the Inca civilization painted images of eagles on their fingertips. Since then, creative and artistic nail art has become integrated into the world of fashion with the addition of symbols and crystals, air brushing, acrylic and gel nail enhancements. Nail polish can be a brilliant way to add a touch of color

Since its founding as a pilot project in 1996, The Investigative Fund’s stories have sparked resignations of public of ficials, triggered FBI pr obes, grand jury investigations, congressional hearings and federal legislation, while others have changed the debate around a key issue or exposed previou s l y h id de n f o r ms o f a b us e a n d exploitation.

Davis goes “inspirationail” with the “Nail Art Sourcebook: Over 500 Designs for Fingertip Fashions” by Pansy Alexander-Potter and Mineko Sugita. The sourcebook contains photographs of many dif ferent types of nail designs and is the perfect book for hardcore nail enthusiasts to use as their guidebook, as well as for casual admirers to peruse.

There is a wide range of designs; from flowers, flags, dolphins, cherries, zig-zags, stripes or other small designs to accent or enhance the color, to those decked out with jewels. The tips provide information on how to make straight lines or how to trick the eye into thinking nails are longer than they actually are.

LEGO blocks have delighted generations of kids and their parents. For more than half a century, these small plastic bricks have sparked the imagination of children and adults around the world.

Mike Doyle’s “Beautiful LEGO” is a compendium of LEGO artwork that showcases a stunning array of pieces ranging from incredibly lifelike replicas of everyday objects and famous monuments to imaginative renderings of spaceships, mansions and mythical creatures. The results are glorious, absolutely breathtaking and are far from child’s play.

LEGO artists from around the world have created their own designs using LEGO bricks, mimicking well-known buildings, recreating vehicles or coming up with their own concepts entirely.

Doyle has collected photos of their creations. There are segments about the artists themselves; how they got into LEGO building, the methods they use to create their works, and creative process that turns simple, plastic bricks into remarkable LEGO masterpieces. Readers will be awed by the meticulousness and genius it takes to construct these masterpieces. They might even be inspired to become the next great LEGO artist.

Appeals Court denies Arpaio’s bid for a rehearing He had his day in court and he lost.”

Arpaio’s office won the case at trial in 2010, but the 9th Circuit threw out the verdict last year and called for a new trial.

The appeals court said dressing inmates in pink underwear — a hallmark of the 81-year -old Arpaio — appeared to be punishment without legal justification and noted that it’s fair to infer that the selection of pink as the underwear color was meant to symbolize the loss of prisoners’ masculinity.

Early in his 20-year tenure as sheriff, Arpaio won points with voters for making inmates wear pink underwear, housing them in canvas tents during triple-digit summer heat, and dressing them in old-time striped jail uniforms.

Arpaio’s attorneys wanted the nation’s highest court to examine whether having pink boxers as part of the standard jail uniform can constitute punishment before a trial is held.

PHOENIX (AP) — A federal appeals court has declined to hear Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s appeal of a ruling that criticized a decision by his jail officers to force pink underwear onto a mentally ill inmate who erroneously believed jailers were trying to rape him.

The refusal by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals means Arpaio has all but exhausted his appeals in the case. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in March.

In an amended opinion Monday to its November 2012 decision, the threejudge panel of the 9th Circuit voted to deny the petition for rehearing and Arpaio’s request to have a larger panel of justices reconsider the issue.

The lawsuit by the estate of Eric Vogel now is one step closer toward having a second trial in U.S. District Court in Phoenix.

“We will get a chance to have our day in court,” said Joel Robbins, a lawyer for Vogel’s estate.

“Bring it on. We love to go to trial,” said Deputy Chief Jack MacIntyre, one of Arpaio’s aides. “I find it appalling that Robbins wants his day in court.

Tammye’ Renee Green

“O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me.” Psalm 30:2 It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you all of the passing of Tammye’ Renee Green. She was the very much loved wife of Michael A. Green, mother to Bailey and Mason Reid, daughter to Glenda Riley and Dave Weir, sister to Kerry Riley, Dusty Weir, Cyndee Weir, Laurie Jackson and Phallon Drake.

She was a humble person who lived all her life in Roswell. Everyone that she met became a friend and she had many, many friends. She loved the Lord Jesus and had a wonderful relationship with the Lord that she and Michael shared during their prayer time together.

After a long illness, God knew she was suffering – and how much good she had done, so he wanted her suffering to end; so he took her home to be with him to live in the mansion that he built for her, on Dec. 26, 2013. Services for Tammye’ will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2013, at Anderson-Bethany Funeral Home, with Pastor Ron Fuller officiating. Burial to follow at South Park Cemetery. The family will be accepting visitation on Monday, Dec. 30, 2013, at Anderson-Bethany Funeral Home.

She was the most compassionate, loving person.

She loved as God wants us to love, she forgave as God wants us to forgive; she opened up her heart and home to anyone. She will be remembered for her fantastic cooking, her creativity, her decorative ability, her love of animals; especially her pets: Lurch, Sadie and Mattie.

We will be lost without you, we will miss you, we will attempt to live and love the way you would. You always found the good in everyone.

You were such a blessing to all who knew you. We were blessed to have you in our life for however short of a time.

She is survived by all who knew and loved her, to include the following and many, many more; her husband, Michael of the home; sons Bailey and Mason Reid, her mom, Glenda and her dad, Dave and his wife — Glenda; brother Kerry Riley, his dad’s family: Milburn and Carol Dolen and family; her ex-mother -in-law, Becky Reid; brother Dusty Weir and family; sister Laurie Jackson and family; sister Cyndee Weir and sister Phallon Drake and family; nephews Dylan, Brendan and Justin Wright; cousins,

NATION/OBITUARIES Aaron and Tony Alberts and their father Don (wife Judy) Alberts; aunt Katie Wells and cousins Mandy, Riley and Victor Wells and families; sister -in-law Jeanne (Kevin) Raymer; mother-in-law Inez Green; brother -in-law Richard Green and wife Laura, and numerous other cousins, nephews and nieces. Tammye’ is preceded in death by her stepmom, Patricia Weir.

Pallbearers will be: Kerry Riley, Dusty Weir, Jordan Creel, Aaron Alberts, Tony Alberts and Kevin Durbin.

The family is asking that if anyone wants to help with expenses, they can donate to the account that they have set up at Pioneer Bank,”In Memory of Tammye’ Renee Green.” Please join the family at Bethel Baptist Church at 4 p.m. to share a meal and memories of our precious Tammye’.

“Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:1012.

Kenneth Everett Thompson Jr.

Kenneth Everett Thompson Jr. passed away on Dec. 27, 2013, in the home he shared with his wife of 60 years, Marian Martha Thompson, nee Kimmel.

Ken was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and was renowned for his generosity of spirit, his philanthropic and civic activities and his quick, imaginative and clever sense of humor. Marian, their children and families, and their friends come together now to remember and celebrate with love, respect, pride and admiration, a life well lived.

Ken was born in Picher, Okla., on April 12, 1935,

but was reared in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Albuquerque. At 16, Ken played the position of goalie for the Highland High School Ice Hockey Team, as well as for many of the men’s Ice Hockey teams in Albuquerque. Ken’s was a familiar face in the sports pages of the Albuquerque Journal and Tribune in the early 1950s.

In 1953, Ken married Marian Martha Kimmel, and they began their family the following year. Ken was a sales manager for The American Linen Supply Company and a popular coach in the youth ice hockey program. In 1975, Ken built, and was the general manager of, the new American Linen Supply facility in Roswell. During Ken’s tenure at American Linen, he and Marian became active, well-known and respected members of the community, participating in many social as well as civic events.

Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, Ken was an active member of the Roswell Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Sertoma Club, of which he was elected president.

Ken participated in and raised substantial funds for a number of other charitable organizations, particularly groups that benefitted children. Over the years, Ken has donated his handmade wooden toys to various organizations such as Toys for Tots, to be distributed as Christmas gifts.

In the late 1980s, Ken was president of the Roswell Chamber of Commerce. Among many other activities that helped to breathe new life into Roswell’s economy, Ken drove the Main Street Roswell Project and initiated Roswell’s Annual Christmas Parades. Ken, Bobby Villegas and Eunice Dickey produced the Chamber’s Rise with Roswell breakfasts during Ken’s tenure as president. Ken was a true raconteur and during the time he was Master of Ceremonies for the Rise with Roswell breakfasts, the breakfast meetings were so entertaining, attendance rose to standing room only. In addition to Ken’s participation in many civic and professional organizations, he was an unflagging support to Marian, who throughout her banking career was involved in many philanthropic clubs and projects of her own.

After Ken retired, he devoted his time to his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, as well as his many and varied interests. Ken was a talented woodworker, photographer, gardener and a superb chef. He was actively involved in his great-grandchildren’s lives, frequently attending their sports, school and dancing activities. A great many family members were present when Ken and Marian commemorated their 60th wedding anniversary last summer at the home of their grandson and his wife, Andrew and Lisa Richards.

Ken is much loved and

Roswell Daily Record will be missed by many. He is survived by his wife, Marian Martha Thompson, his brother, Dennis Thompson, his four children and their spouses; Steven and Cathy Thompson, Rick and Laura Thompson, Kim and Rocky Dennis and Melissa and Russ Doss, Ken’s grandchildren; Shannon Michelle Thompson and Gary Griffin, Sara, Tyler and Rachel Thompson, Becca and Kellan Woods, Mary Elizabeth Flores, Joshua Baker and Joey Dennis, Andrew, Adam and AJ Richards and Aimee Mooney. In addition to his grandchildren, Ken is survived also by his nine great-grandchildren, all of whom adored their Boompa.

Funeral services are scheduled at 2 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014, at Grace Community Church, 935 Mescalero Road, Roswell, NM, with Pastor Rick Hale officiating.

Feds announce test sites for drone aircraft LAS VEGAS (AP) — Six states were named Monday by federal officials to develop test sites for drones — a critical next step for the burgeoning industry that could one day produce thousands of unmanned aircraft for use by businesses, farmers and researchers.

Alaska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Texas and Virginia will host the research sites, providing diverse climates, geography and air traffic environments as the Federal Aviation Administration seeks to safely introduce commercial drones into U.S. airspace.

Members of Congress and other politicians lobbied intensely to bring the work to their states. Representatives were jubilant about the likeli-

hood that the testing will draw companies interested in cashing in on the fledgling industry.

An industry-commissioned study has predicted more than 70,000 jobs would develop in the first three years after Congress loosens drone restrictions on U.S. skies. The same study projects an average salary range for a drone pilot between $85,000 and $115,000.

“This is wonderful news for Nevada that creates a huge opportunity for our economy,” said U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada. In New York, Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat, called the announcement a boon for his state.

Drones have been mainly used

by the military, but governments, businesses, farmers and others are making plans to join the market. Many universities are starting or expanding curriculum involving drones.

The FAA does not currently allow commercial use of drones, but it is working to develop operational guidelines by the end of 2015, although officials concede the project may take longer than expected.

The FAA projects some 7,500 commercial drones could be aloft within five years of getting widespread access to the skies above America.

“Today was an important step,” said attorney Ben Gielow of the

Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, noting the announcement came after months of delays and data gathering. “I think we’re all anxious to get this moving.”

The competition for a test site was robust, with 25 entities in 24 states submitting proposals, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said during a conference call with reporters.

At least one of the six sites chosen by the FAA will be up and running within 180 days, while the others are expected to come online in quick succession, he said. However, the designation as a test site doesn’t come with a financial award from the government.

RDR Business Review Page is a great way to advertise

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

There are only a few spots available right now so if you’ve “been thinking about it”, NOW would be the time to get your spot before they’re all gone. Your RDR advertising representative can fill you in on the complete details. Please phone or ask them for the information.

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

After advertising weekly for six months you will recieve a “free future article” (then another one six months after your first free one and another free one six months after that). as our “Thank You!” for advertising on the busi-

Custom Construction and Roofing, LLC offers General Contractor and Subcontractor Management, Home and Project Designs and working with insurance companies on damage claims. Visit Custom Construction and Roofing at #4 Wool Bowl Circle or call 575-623-l824. ness review page.

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

With ads starting as low as $21.43 (including tax) per week the business review page is ideal for businesses large and small to

obtain effective advertising on a small budget.

The feature article typically uses two or three photographs and the equivalent of two double-spaced typewritten pages of information about your business.

Its an ad that looks like a written story. This info usually consists of what you

have to offer (services and/or product); who you are (history); where you are located; when you are open; and how to get in touch with you.

The typical layout can be altered to fit your circumstance. If you want more pictures we can cut down on the article’s length.

We do whatever works best for you.

Leasa Metcalf is the Business Review Page Editor. Leasa takes the photographs and either writes the text (with your input) or uses an article that your provide for your feature story. We can also use your photographs, if you have

ones that you want to use.

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

Please call your Roswell Daily Record advertising representative at 622-7710 for complete information and prices.

In this economy you’ve got to advertise to stay in business, and the Roswell Daily Record’s Business Review page is an effective way to do it.

Call now while there are still spaces available. Its a great deal and you will see more customers coming in the front door of your business when you advertise in the newspaper.

Advertising in the Roswell Daily Record works because it is a great way to inform people about your business and what you have to offer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) #### You might not want your priorities to change, but a situation will force you to adjust them. Anger could dress up as sarcasm. Be aware of that fact, whether you are on the receiving or giving end. Follow your instincts. Tonight: Others depend on you leading the celebrations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) #### You’ll relax as you take a look at the big picture. You could be overserious and not realize it. A quarrel could ensue if someone tries to lighten you up. In any case, avoid angry moments, and curb sarcasm. Tonight: Surround the New Year with great music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ### You could be very social, but a loved one will manage to rein you in. You might be quite angry at this person’s actions, but try not to show your distaste. Trust that you are communicating your feelings nonverbally. Tonight: A problem could ensue around plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) #### You finally will relax enough to enjoy others, especially a close friend or loved one. This person’s tone might be hard to hear, but behind his or her words and attitude are feelings. Remember to think before you speak. Tonight: Unexpected developments.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) #### You might want to understand where someone is coming from. Your ability to look past the obvious will emerge. You might be angry at someone without this person knowing why. He or she might not be on the same level as you. Tonight: Live for the moment.

‘The Hobbit’ wins box office

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After six weeks in theaters, “Frozen” slid back into the No. 2 spot at the box office, but it failed to dethrone “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” from its hold on first place.

According to final studio figures released Monday, Disney’s animated adventure, “Frozen,” earned $28.6 million.

A LOOK BACK ON 2013

As the clock ticks nearer to the end of 2013, it’s high time that we look back on one of the greatest sporting years in the history of Chaves County.

That might sound like an exaggeration,

but the proof is in the pudding when you really examine all that has happened in the sporting world in our county this year.

Here’s how it breaks down: Teams that won state championships — 10 Teams that played for a state championship — 14 Prepsters who won individual medals — 17 Prep teams or individuals who finished third or better in state competitions — 45

Basketball

Three basketball teams brought home runner-up trophies in 2013. The Dexter boys, the Hagerman boys and the Roswell girls all reached the title game and returned with red trophies.

The Demons fell to Laguna-Acoma 51-39 in the 2A championship game, while the Bobcats fell to Cliff 49-44 in the 1A championship game. Roswell fell to Los Lunas 51-27 in the 4A title tilt, bringing home the red trophy for the second straight season and the third time in five seasons.

The Hondo Valley boys, from just outside the county, won a state championship, downing Wagon Mound 69-34 in the Class

B title game.

Football

Chaves County is home to three state titlists, a state runner-up and an NJCAA bowl winner. Gateway Christian, Hagerman and Lake Arthur all won titles this year, Goddard reached the title game before falling and the NMMI Broncos won their first bowl game this century.

Gateway Christian knocked off Foothill 72-55 in the 8-Man title game to win its third straight state title, while Lake Arthur beat archrival Hondo Valley 66-50 in the 6Man championship game to secure the program’s first undefeated season and a third straight state crown.

Hagerman won its first title since 2009, polishing off an undefeated 12-0 campaign with a 35-6 triumph over Capitan in the 1A title game.

Goddard reached the championship game for the seventh time in eight seasons, falling to Farmington 7-0 in the 4A title tilt.

NMMI saved its best performance for the biggest stage, playing what second-year coach Joe Forchtner said was its “best game of the year” to beat Arizona Western

32-16 in the El Toro Bowl. It was the first bowl win for NMMI since the 1999 Empire Bowl.

Golf

Goddard High School has a long, rich tradition in the sport of golf and 2013 just added to it. The Goddard boys won the state title for the third time in four seasons this year, while the Goddard girls finished

Leslie Frazier

Greg Schiano

It didn’t take long.

Barely 12 hours after the NFL’s regular season ended, five head coaches were unemployed. Fired on Monday were Washington’s Mike Shanahan, Detroit’s Jim Schwartz, Minnesota’s Leslie Frazier and Tampa Bay’s Greg Schiano.

The Cleveland Browns didn’t even wait that long, dismissing Rob Chudzinski on Sunday night after just one season on the job.

Shanahan, who won two Super Bowls in Denver in the 1990s, spent four seasons with the Redskins and was 24-40.

Frazier had a little more than three seasons with the Vikings to compile an 18-33-1 mark, and Schwartz coached the Lions for five seasons, finishing 29-52.

Schiano only got two years with the Buccaneers, going 1121. He had three years and $9 million left on his contract.

Tampa Bay also fired general manager Mark Dominik.

“It’s tough for the players to see your coaches go. You never want to see anybody get fired,” Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said. “Me personally, I haven’t had any, consistently, in my career.

Third head coach, going on my fifth year and three head coaches. Add up everybody, it’ll be six D-line coaches.”

The Buccaneers, who also have fired the likes of Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden, hired Schiano out of Rutgers in 2012 and went 6-4 before losing five of their last six games.

They dropped their first eight games this season and finished 4-12.

One coach allegedly on the hot seat was retained: Rex Ryan, who has one more year on his contract, is staying with the New York Jets after a surprising 8-8 record in his fifth season at the helm.

While some of the fired coaches might have seen it coming, Chudzinski certainly

didn’t despite going 4-12 and losing his final seven games and 10 of 11.

“I was shocked and disappointed to hear the news that I was fired,” said Chudzinski, who grew up a Browns fan. “I am a Cleveland Brown to the core, and always will be. It was an honor to lead our players and coaches, and I appreciate their dedication and sacrifice.

I was more excited than ever for this team, as I know we were building a great foundation for future success.”

As the coaching searches begin, agents will float the names of their clients — Penn State’s Bill O’Brien seems to be the hottest candidate and has interviewed for Houston’s vacancy. The Texans (2-14), who own the top choice in May’s draft after losing their final 14 games, released coach Gary Kubiak late in the season.

Disappointment in Dallas See COACHES, Page B3

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jerry Jones has another long offseason to ponder what the Dallas owner called “unthinkable” — three straight season-ending losses that left the Cowboys at 8-8 and out of the playoffs.

Here are his quick takes: Jason Garrett will return, Tony Romo’s back is going to be fine and another shuffling of the defensive coaching staff could be coming.

Jones has been saying emphatically for more than a month that Garrett will be

back for a fourth full season.

The latest declaration came after Sunday night’s 24-22 loss to Philadelphia that sewed up the coach’s third breakeven record in three full seasons, and his 0-3 record in finales with the NFC East title on the line.

“We’ve put a lot of effort in training as a franchise into Jason Garrett, and I want to take advantage of that,” Jones told reporters after the game.

“If we don’t have him, we don’t get payback for all the miscues

this time.

After two back surgeries in eight months, Romo will be 34 when he takes another snap for the Cowboys. Notice the “when” instead of the “if.” That’s Jones talking.

“The nature of his injury was not alarming,” Jones said. “It was not complicated.”

Jones figures Romo will be ready for offseason workouts this spring.

Tight end Jason Witten doesn’t have any doubt, and will welcome him back even though he had season highs of 12 catches for 135 yards with Orton throwing to him on Sunday.

“Obviously it’s been a tough eight months for him physically,” Witten said of Romo, who walked gingerly while attending exit meetings at team headquarters Monday. “I know how he works. I know how he competes. I know how he trains, that he’ll bounce back and be even better next year.”

SPORTS There might not be a next year for defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, whose first season in charge of the Dallas defense ended with the most yards allowed in franchise history — by almost 1,000.

The Cowboys were competitive defensively in the last games against the Redskins and Eagles. But there were many unsightly moments in the first year of a four-man defensive front after nearly a decade with three linemen and four linebackers.

Dallas gave up the first two 600-yard games in franchise history, the first 40-first down game in league history and couldn’t stop a pair of backup quarterbacks when it mattered most late in the season. The Cowboys were last in total defense in Kiffin’s 27th NFL season, a career marked by a Super Bowl-winning defense in Tampa Bay that led the league in yards allowed, points allowed and interceptions.

missed five of the last six games with hamstring and neck injuries. The defensive line was a mad scramble all season because of injuries.

“I wouldn’t evaluate Monte Kiffin without taking in consideration our circumstances this year with injuries, his ability to put in place guys coming in and out on a weekly basis,” Jones said. “One thing about having the career that he’s had is you get to look at the whole career when you’re looking at it.”

The most troubling development with the new scheme was how much DeMarcus Ware struggled in it. The franchise sacks leader had a career -low six and missed games for the first time in his nine seasons because of a thigh injury. He’s also been dealing with back and elbow issues.

The Cowboys might even end up releasing Ware to save salary cap space if he doesn’t agree to a pay cut. He says he’s willing to restructure his contract, but not reduce his salary.

Broncos hope to avoid déjà vu

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Finally, the Denver Broncos can get ready for some meaningful football.

Oh, sure, the 13 wins and all those records Peyton Manning set will count, but the regular season was simply a warm-up act for a team with the Super Bowl on its radar.

As former Broncos defensive end and current Denver radio host Alfred Williams said back in July, “This is the only team in the NFL with 20 preseason games.”

The Broncos stormed into the playoffs last year as the No. 1 seed in the AFC, riding an 11-game winning streak and promptly lost to Baltimore in double-overtime.

“We let that opportunity slip last year and guys are definitely on high alert not to let that happen again this year,” Broncos safety David Bruton said Monday. “We’ve still got that bad taste in our mouths.”

Denver is once again 13-3 with the AFC’s top seed after making history by becoming the most prolific offensive team in the Super

Goddard alumna Shelby Forchtner guided the NMMI Broncos to their first regional crown in 2013. The Broncos beat conference foe Odessa in four sets in the NJCAA Region V West Championship Match to book the school’s first trip to the national tournament.

Goddard’s Eathyn Griffin won the county’s lone wrestling medal in 2013.

The then-junior went 3-1 at the state tournament and brought home a silver medal. He won two matches by pinfall and a 3-2 decision to reach the heavyweight championship match, where he fell by decision to the tournament’s No. 2 seed.

NBA capsules: James returns, leads Heat to win on birthday

DENVER (AP) — LeBron James returned from a groin injury to score 26 points on his birthday, and the Miami Heat beat the skidding Denver Nuggets 97-94 Monday night despite losing Dwyane Wade and Norris Cole during the game.

James, who tur ned 29 on Monday, injured his groin Friday during the Heat’s overtime loss at Sacramento. He sat out the following game, a 108-107 win Saturday in Portland, before coming back to help send the Nuggets to their seventh consecutive defeat.

Chris Bosh had 17 points and Ray Allen 13, including six in the final 5:08, as Miami won for the ninth time in 11 games.

Ty Lawson had 26 points to lead the Nuggets, who lost their second straight to Miami at the Pepsi Center after winning the previous 10 in a row.

Cole left midway through the third quarter after taking a fall at the end of a driving layup attempt and hitting his face on the floor. He had come into the game in place of Wade, who didn’t return after halftime because of back spasms, the Heat said on Twitter.

PELICANS 110, TRAIL BLAZERS 108 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tyreke Evans hit a pull-up jumper from 17 feet with 1.2 seconds left to lift New Orleans over Portland.

a rare muscle condition that required emergency leg surgery, run-stuffer Kevin Vickerson went on IR with a dislocated hip that created a domino effect on defense, and lineman Derek Wolfe had seizure-like symptoms on the team bus and hasn’t played in more than a month.

Every week seemed to bring a new trial or tribulation.

“Hopefully it’s served us well,” Manning said. “It’s made us better that we’ve been able to handle a lot of different things that have been thrown our way and out of our control.

Hopefully, that can help us down this whole stretch.”

The Broncos’ next game is Jan. 12 against Kansas City, Indianapolis or San Diego, three teams that gave them fits this season.

Denver swept the Chiefs but both games were

Evans’ big basket came right after Portland’s Damian Lillard, who has hit several game-winners this season, made a contested 3-pointer to tie the score at 108.

Jrue Holiday scored 15 of his seasonhigh 31 points in the fourth quarter and tied a season high with 13 assists for the Pelicans, who won their fourth in a row at home. Anthony Davis added 27 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks. Evans had 20 points.

Davis forced LaMarcus Aldridge into a tough shot from the baseline that bounced off the top of the backboard as time ran out.

Lillard scored 29 points and Aldridge had 28 for the Trail Blazers (24-7), who lost their second straight.

MAVERICKS 100, TIMBERWOLVES 98 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Shawn Marion scored 32 points and hit two huge 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to help Dallas withstand a furious second-half charge from Minnesota.

Dirk Nowitzki had 16 points for the Mavericks, who led by 19 late in the first half before the Wolves came back.

Kevin Love had 36 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, and his 3-pointer 90 seconds into the fourth quarter gave the Wolves an 86-85 lead. They led 90-87 mid-

close. The Colts beat Denver 39-33 in Manning’s unhappy homecoming in October and the Chargers won in Denver 27-20 on Dec. 12, Manning’s only loss in a dozen AFC West games since joining the Broncos.

Their other loss came when Wes Welker blew a punt return in overtime at New England, allowing the Patriots to win in overtime in his homecoming game in November.

“We aren’t thinking about what happened during the regular season,” said cornerback Champ Bailey, still searching for a ring in his 15th season. “We’re in a position to go into the tournament and now we’ve just got to win games.”

The Broncos wrapped up home-field advantage with a 34-14 rout of Oakland on Sunday that was their best all-around game of the year.

“We still have things to work on, things to fix, things that we could get better at,” Bruton said.

“Because the speed is going to be a lot faster, the hits are going to be harder and there is going to be a lot more trickery” in the playoffs.

The Broncos watched film on Monday and they’ll get two days off before returning Thursday for three days of workouts before they learn who their next opponent will be.

They talked about staying focused this week, about getting better and not letting up.

After all, the Broncos, who tied the Seattle Seahawks for most wins, are painfully aware of one of the NFL’s biggest truisms: more often than not, the regular season is for suckers.

In each of the last nine years, the team that had the best regular -season record — or tied for the best mark — failed to win the Super Bowl. The last team that parlayed the best regular-season record into the title was the 2003 Patriots.

way through the period, but Marion hit two 3-pointers during a 10-0 run to put the Mavericks back in front.

Love had a shot to win it on the last possession, but Marion knocked his shot out of bounds. Love thought he was fouled, and replays appeared to support him. But no whistle was blown.

Marion made 14 of 19 shots and also had six rebounds and three assists. He topped 30 points for the first time since the 2008-09 season.

WIZARDS 106, PISTONS 99 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — John Wall scored 29 points and Washington became the latest team to rally past Detroit in the fourth quarter.

Washington trailed 87-78 before starting the final period with a 17-4 run. The Pistons never went back ahead.

Brandon Jennings had 15 points and 14 assists for Detroit, which has lost five of six.

Trevor Ariza scored 15 points for the Wizards, who also beat Detroit 106-82 on Saturday in Washington.

Bradley Beal scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half for Washington.

The Wizards (14-14) are at .500 after 28 games for the first time since finishing the 2007-08 season 43-39, according to STATS. BULLS 95, GRIZZLIES 91 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Jimmy Butler scored 14 of his 26 points in the third

Coaches

Continued from Page B1

Whoever gets hired in each place will face mammoth rebuilding projects.

Overall, the six teams seeking new coaches went 24-71-1.

Shanahan had one season remaining on a five-year contract worth about $7 million a season. He blamed salary cap restraints for part of the Redskins’ collapse from NFC East champion in 2012 to 3-13 and eight consecutive losses.

Washington was hit with a $36 million salary cap penalty over two seasons for dumping salaries into the 2010 uncapped season, and Shanahan said it prevented the team from pursuing free agents it had targeted.

But his real undoing, along with the poor records in three of his four seasons, was a contentious relationship with star quarterback Robert Griffin III. RG3 did not speak with the media on Monday.

Frazier took over for Brad Childress in Minnesota for the final six games of 2010. He got the Vikings to the playoffs as a wild card last season, riding an MVP year from running back Adrian

quarter and Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 10 rebounds in Chicago’s victory over Memphis.

Butler shot 6 for 10 from the field and 12 of 14 at the foul line in a team-high 41 minutes. D.J. Augustin had 10 points off the bench for the Bulls, including eight in the fourth period as Memphis tried to make a late run.

Mike Conley finished with 26 points, nine assists, six rebounds and six steals to lead the Grizzlies.

The Bulls won despite playing again without leading scorer Luol Deng, who missed his fifth straight game with a sore left Achilles.

JAZZ 83, BOBCATS 80 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Trey Burke beat the shot clock on a driving layup with 19 seconds left and scored 21 points to power Utah past Charlotte.

Alec Burks added 14 points, and Derrick Favors and Marvin Williams added 13 apiece to carry the Jazz to their 10th straight win over the Bobcats.

Gerald Henderson had 19 points, none in the fourth quarter, and Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker both scored 18 in the Bobcats’ first stop on a four -game Western Conference swing.

The Jazz held Charlotte to 37 percent shooting and spoiled Jefferson’s return to Utah, where he spent the last three seasons.

Peterson. But he never solved the Vikings’ quarterback situation — three QBs started in 2013 — and the defense, Frazier’s specialty, ranked 31st overall and against the pass.

“It’s a harsh business,” safety Harrison Smith said. “As a player, we all love coach Frazier, as a coach, as a man. You can’t meet a better guy. And also as a player, we didn’t make enough plays on the field. So you just feel like you let him down a little bit.”

The Lions were considered an underachieving team the last two years under Schwartz. After a 6-3 start this year in a division where the Packers and Bears lost their starting quarterbacks for lengthy periods, Detroit fell apart down the stretch. It lost six of its last seven.

He had two years and almost $12 million remaining on his deal, signed after the Lions hired him to fix a team that went 0-16 in 2008.

“From where we were in 2008 to where we are now it’s a big difference,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “We owe a lot of that to him. He’s a really smart guy and helped us get to where we are. Obviously, we didn’t win as many games as we needed to or as we should have this year.”

NFL: Thrilling finishes highlight Week 17 B4 Tuesday, December 31, 2013

FINANCIAL / SPORTS

CHICAGO (AP) — Aaron Rodgers fired a 48-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb in the final minute, and the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 33-28 to capture the NFC North championship.

Back after missing seven games with a broken left collarbone, Rodgers found a wide open Cobb on fourth-and-8 at the 48 to wipe out a one-point deficit with 38 seconds left.

Green Bay will host San Francisco in the playoffs next weekend.

The Bears had one final drive, but Jay Cutler’s deep pass to Alshon Jeffery was intercepted by Sam Shields on the final play.

That gave the Packers (8-7-1) their third straight division title and fifth postseason appearance in a row. It also kept the Bears (8-8) out of the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years.

BENGALS 34, RAVENS 17 CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton threw for two touchdowns, ran for another and set a pair of Bengals passing records, leading Cincinnati to a victory that eliminated the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.

It was an erratic performance by the third-year quarterback, who also threw four interceptions for AFC North winner Cincinnati (11-5).

The Ravens (8-8) lost their last two games, denying them a chance to make the playoffs for a sixth straight season. They couldn’t avoid the Super Bowl slump that’s so common.

The Ravens became the 15th Super Bowl champ that failed to reach the playoffs the following season, and the sixth in the last 12 years.

In Cincinnati, there’s only one thing in mind: finally win a playoff game. The Bengals haven’t done that since the 1990 season. They lost opening-round games in Houston each of the last two seasons as wild cards.

BRONCOS 34, RAIDERS 14 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Peyton Manning set the NFL single-season record for yards passing and threw four first-half touchdown passes to help the Denver Broncos clinch the top seed in the AFC playoffs with a win over the Oakland Raiders.

Manning needed just one half to add the yards record to the touchdown mark he set last week and assure that the Broncos (13-3) won’t have to leave home again until the Super Bowl if they make it that far.

He threw touchdown passes to Eric Decker and Knowshon Moreno in the first quarter and added two to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter. He broke Drew Brees’ record of 5,476 yards set in 2011 with a 5yard pass to Thomas with 13 seconds left in the half to make it 31-0.

That ended Manning’s day having completed 25 of 28 passes for 266 yards. He finished the season with 5,477 yards and 55 touchdown passes.

The Raiders (4-12) ended their 11th straight non-winning season with six straight losses and big questions about the future of second-year coach Dennis Allen.

SAINTS 42, BUCCANEERS 17 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees passed for four touchdowns and ran for another score, and New Orleans clinched a wild-card spot with a victory over Tampa Bay. Three of Brees’ scoring strikes were longer than 40 yards — 76 to Kenny Stills, 44 to Lance Moore and 41 to Robert Meachem. Brees passed for 381 yards, eclipsing 5,000 yards in a season for an unprecedented fourth time. He finished the season with 5,162 yards to go with 39 touchdowns.

Brees’ other TD was a 10-yard pass to tight end Jimmy Graham, and the Saints (11-5) finished 8-0 in the Superdome.

Mike Glennon passed for 219 yards and two TDs for Tampa Bay (412). With doubts swirling about the future of second-year Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano, the Bucs closed the season with losses in their last three games, and four of their last five.

CHARGERS 27, CHIEFS 24, OT SAN DIEGO (AP) — Nick Novak kicked a 36-yard field goal with 5:30 left in overtime, ending the San Diego Chargers’ three-year playoff drought with a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chargers (9-7) needed help for weeks, and everything fell into place on Sunday, with the last piece being their win over a Chiefs team that already had clinched the AFC’s No. 5 seed and rested 20 of 22 starters.

The Chargers, who trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter, held the Chiefs on downs to win it after they reached the San Diego 41.

Earlier in the day, the Chargers got the help they needed when Miami and Baltimore both lost. San Diego has won four straight and five of six heading into a wild-card game next weekend at AFC North champion Cincinnati.

The Chiefs (11-5) go into the playoffs having lost five of seven. They play at AFC South champion Indianapolis.

SEAHAWKS 27, RAMS 9 SEATTLE (AP) — Malcolm Smith returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown, Marshawn L ynch added a 2-yard scoring run and the Seahawks clinched the NFC West title and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over the St. Louis Rams.

Seattle (13-3) matched the franchise record for wins in a season and finally wrapped up the No. 1 seed after losses to San Francisco and last week to Arizona, which snapped a 14-game home winning streak.

Then owner Woody Johnson said coach Rex Ryan would return despite the Jets (8-8) sitting out the postseason themselves for the third year in a row.

Geno Smith led three long scoring drives, ran for a touchdown and threw for 190 yards, while two interceptions by rookie Dee Milliner and one by 35-year-old Ed Reed prevented a Miami comeback.

The Dolphins (8-8) squandered a shot at their first playoff berth since 2008 by losing their final two games.

It was a dismal end to a roller-coaster season that included a four-game losing streak and a bullying scandal that drew national scrutiny.

STEELERS 20, BROWNS 7 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Le’Veon Bell ran for 90 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers drubbed the Cleveland Browns, though Pittsburgh’s bid to become the second team in NFL history to go winless in September and make the playoffs ended when San Diego edged Kansas City.

Ben Roethlisberger passed for 179 yards and a touchdown against two interceptions as the Steelers (8-8) won their third straight to avoid the franchise’s first losing season since 2003. The victory also continued a furious second-half rally by the Steelers, who went 6-2 over the season’s final eight weeks to fuel an improbable run at the AFC’s final postseason spot.

Jason Campbell completed 23 of 40 passes for 240 yards with a touchdown, but the Browns (4-12) lost their seventh straight, fueling speculation first-year coach Rob Chudzinski’s job could be in jeopardy.

PANTHERS 21, FALCONS 20 ATLANTA (AP) — Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes, Greg Hardy had a team-record four sacks and the Panthers clinched the NFC South.

The Panthers (12-4) earned a firstround bye and home-field advantage for at least one game as the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Carolina, which won 11 of its final 12 games, set a team record by sack-

the second half, giving him 19 1 ⁄ 2 .

Vinatieri moved into fifth on the career scoring list with 2,006 points, passing George Blanda and Matt Stover.

ing Matt R yan nine times. The defense also produced a touchdown on Melvin White’s 7-yard interception return in the second quarter.

Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez had four catches for 56 yards and was honored at halftime in his final regular -season game. He has announced plans for retirement.

TITANS 16, TEXANS 10 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Chris Johnson ran for 127 yards and a touchdown in what might be his last game with the Titans, a win that may help coach Mike Munchak’s argument to stay on the job in 2014.

With their 14th straight loss, the Texans (2-14) clinched the No. 1 selection in next May’s draft for the next head coach owner Bob McNair hires.

The Titans (7-9) scored 16 straight points in snapping a five-game home skid that was their longest since leaving Houston for Tennessee in 1997.

They also won a second straight game for the first time since September, when they started 3-1.

Rob Bironas kicked three field goals, including a season-long 55yarder. Linebacker Akeem A yers intercepted a pass and forced a fumble as the Titans got four turnovers they turned into 10 points.

PATRIOTS 34, BILLS 20 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — LeGarrette Blount rushed for a career -high 189 yards and two touchdowns and had two long kickoff returns as the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills and clinched a first-round AFC bye.

Tom Brady was content to hand the ball off during a steady downpour against a team leading the NFL in sacks and second in interceptions.

And Blount responded, leading the charge into the playoffs. Stephen Gostkowski helped make sure the Patriots (12-4) wouldn’t have a game next weekend with four field goals.

While the Patriots earned their eighth bye in Bill Belichick’s 14 seasons as coach, the Bills (6-10) missed the playoffs for the 14th straight year, the league’s longest current streak.

New England won its 13th straight home game against Buffalo, including 12-0 since Gillette Stadium opened in 2002.

GIANTS 20, REDSKINS 6 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York’s Jerrel Jernigan caught a 24-yard touchdown pass and ran 49 yards for another score in what might be Mike Shanahan’s final game as Redskins coach.

Shanahan has not only seen the Redskins (3-13) finish the season with an eight-game losing streak just a year after winning the NFC East, but his future is uncertain because of his shaky relationship with oftinjured franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Giants (7-9) also aren’t going to the playoffs, but they closed the season with a 7-3 record after losing their first six games. It’s a finish that probably will have two-time Super Bowl winning coach Tom Coughlin back next season, unless the 67year-old decides he has had enough.

The game was the final one at MetLife Stadium until the Super Bowl on Feb. 2.

49ERS 23, CARDINALS 20 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Phil Dawson made a 40-yard field goal as time expired to lift the San Francisco 49ers to a win over the Arizona Cardinals that clinched the NFC’s No. 5 playoff seed.

San Francisco will visit Green Bay in the wild-card round next weekend.

Dawson had matched his career best with a 56-yarder to put the 49ers (12-4) up 20-17 with 1:45 to go. Jay Feely’s 43-yard field goal then tied it for Arizona with 34 seconds left. LaMichael James’ 45-yard kickoff return and two quick completions

by Colin Kaepernick set up Dawson’s game winner.

Arizona (10-6) rallied from a 17-0 first-quarter deficit to tie it on Carson Palmer’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts with 3:20 remaining.

VIKINGS 14, LIONS 13 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rookie Cordarrelle Patterson scored two more touchdowns, including the go-ahead catch in the end zone in the fourth quarter, and the Vikings won their final game at the Metrodome after 32 seasons.

With the Vikings (5-10-1) and the Lions (7-9) out of the playoffs, both coaches also faced the possibility of their last full day with their teams.

Jim Schwartz fell to 29-52 in five years with the Lions. Leslie Frazier raised his record with the Vikings in three-plus years to 21-33-1. Each of them has reached the playoffs once.

The building will be torn down next month to make room for a new domed stadium on the same site.

COLTS 30, JAGUARS 10 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck threw for 282 yards and one touchdown, Robert Mathis reclaimed the NFL sacks lead and Adam Vinatieri joined the 2,000-point club.

The AFC South champs have won three straight, matching their longest streak of the season. Indy (11-5) finished with a 6-0 mark against division foes and has outscored its last three opponents 78-20.

Jacksonville (4-12) lost its third straight.

Luck was 26 of 37 and became the first player in league history to top 8,000 yards in his first two NFL seasons. Mathis retook the sacks lead in the first half and added another in

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: Have you any advice for how a person can handle mornings better? No matter what I do, I start off every work day irritated and grumpy.

I love the mornings, and even get up early so I can enjoy sitting with my coffee and relax before heading out the door. But as soon as I get out into traffic, I’m immediately in a bad mood. Then, sitting down at work and facing all the emails that come in from my global associates — usually about some emergency that is plopped in my lap — puts me in more of a foul mood.

I actually like my job, despite what it sounds like. I just hate starting off

every day like this. Telecommuting is not an option for me. What can I do?

MS. GRUMP IN DENVER

DEAR MS. GRUMP: OK, so you’re fine until you leave the house. Many people who find morning rush hour to be nervewracking find it calming to listen to audio books or music during their commute. If that doesn’t help you, and it is feasible, consider using another form of transportation that’s less stressful.

And when you arrive at work, take a little time to decompress before turning on your computer, whether it is with meditation or deep-breathing exercises for the first 10 or 15 minutes. Both can do wonders for a person’s outlook. #####

DEAR ABBY: A cute little girl lives up the street from my husband and me and attends the same church we do. A few years ago we taught her in a Sunday school class. At the time, she developed a crush on my husband. We both laughed about it then and thought it was sweet.

COMICS

Fast-forward three years, and it’s not so sweet anymore. It’s downright awkward. She runs up to my husband multiple times while we’re at church, while ignoring me. Last Sunday, she turned to me as she did it and announced, “He’s mine!” I stood there thinking, “Uh, no — he’s MINE.” I know this jealous reaction may seem silly and I’m trying hard not to feel this way, but it felt like I was fighting over my husband with an 8year-old. He is aware of her crush and how I feel about it, but he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings. Her mother knows about the crush, and we shared a laugh early on.

What can I do? Would speaking to the girl’s mother help? What should I say? Or would it make things more awkward?

NO LONGER AMUSED IN OGDEN, UTAH DEAR NO LONGER AMUSED: The cute little neighbor girl is no longer 5. Three years is a long time for a child to hang onto a crush. Because her behavior bothers you, tell her mother you find it excessive at this point and ask her to tell her daughter she’s getting too old to act that way.

The Wizard of Id

It’s the truth, and your husband should back you up. #####

Family Circus

DEAR ABBY: I thought I’d share my own New Year’s resolution with you. For the past 25 years I have made the following resolution: Each day I will ask myself, “What is the kindest, most loving thing I can say or do at this particular moment?” I invite your readers to consider this.

WAYNE IN PUYALLUP, WASH. DEAR WAYNE: I consider it a refreshingly positive way to start a day, and I’m sure others will agree and add it to their list of New Year’s resolutions. Thank you for sharing it. #####

CONFIDENTIAL TO MY READERS: A word to the wise: If you plan to toast the New Year tonight, please appoint a designated driver. And on this night especially, designated drivers should remember to drive defensively. To one and all, a happy, healthy New Year!

LOVE, ABBY

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Readers: With all the POST -HOLIDAY SALES, many head out to the stores and the mall. Here are some hints to keep you safe: * Park as close to a store entrance or elevator as possible. * Look around, and be aware of your surroundings. Look for people just sitting in cars “watching” everyone else, or cars just circling. * Park near light poles. * Do not return to your car to place items in the trunk and then head back into the store. You might think this is safe, but there are people who watch, then break into your trunk! If you do put things in the trunk, try to move to another parking spot so it looks like you are leaving. * Don’t take your whole wallet.

Try to pare down, and take only a few credit cards that you will need.

Pickpockets love women with a BIG purse stuffed full of things. An easy target for sure.

Dear Heloise: We had an experience with three small charges being made on our credit card. These charges were made to an online site. The bank marked one of the charges as fraud and contacted us. We were told that whoever placed the orders had the correct numbers, including the three-digit security code.

We didn’t have to pay for the charges, and the bank canceled that card and issued a new one.

The bank told us the person using our card probably was making small charges, and when they cleared, the person would make a large charge.

I realized that my security code hadn’t been required other than at online sites.

I don’t understand why that security code is imprinted on cards.

Bobbie in Texas

The security code is there to help prevent fraud, the theory being that the person using the card would have it in hand when placing an order and a thief could not use just the card number, but would need to provide the security code, too. You are right, though — you usually are asked for it only when shopping online or making mail-order purchases over the phone.

Dear Heloise: Every day I would get frustrated when taking a shower, because it was obvious that the shower curtain was not quite long enough to stay in the tub and keep water from getting out. Then I came up with this hint: I bought another set of shower-curtain hooks to add to the first set of hooks. I hooked one hook onto the one hanging off the rod, and essentially doubled the length. The shower curtain now hangs low enough, and the problem is solved!

C.W. in New York Dear Heloise: I bought a small, cross-body, zipper-top purse specifically for shopping and taking on vacation.

It enables me to keep my hands free and keep the purse close to me and away from thieves.

Oregon rolls Texas in Mack Brown’s finale

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — No. 10 Oregon first felt overlooked by the BCS, and then came to the Alamo Bowl overshadowed by Mack Brown’s final game at Texas.

But the Ducks are flying home with an attention-getting blowout.

Quarterback Marcus Mariota had 386 total yards and Oregon returned two interceptions for touchdowns, spoiling Brown’s emotional farewell after 16 seasons at Texas with a runaway 307 victory Monday night.

The BCS-snubbed Ducks (11-2) dominated throughout — even though their famously high-powered offense scored just one touchdown and repeatedly settled for field goals. Yet the rout didn’t seem to completely balm the sting of not playing in a BCS bowl for the first time in five years, with Oregon players after the game still reflecting on their championship hopes derailed by November losses.

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich declined to answer whether this season was a success.

“That’s for you to decide,” Helfrich said. “I don’t think in those terms. I think of how well we can prepare and what’s next.”

Brown received warm goodbyes from a sellout crowd in what was practically a home game for Texas (8-5). Even the school marching

band spelled his name at halftime.

But the blowout was a final reminder of why Brown is resigning after a rocky and tense season at Texas, which he led to a national championship in 2005 but couldn’t reverse a sharp decline in recent years.

Leaving the field for the last time with Texas, Brown flashed the “Hook ’em Horns” hand signal to the scattered remaining Longhorns fans who stuck around to the end of another humbling loss this season. His players didn’t say a word while surrounding Brown and his wife, who walked side by side into the tunnel and toward the locker room.

Brown said he had no regrets about making this his exit.

“I think it’s best for Texas. It’s best for me, it’s best for the players,” he said. “We need to win more than eight games. Last year was nine. I really thought we had a chance to win all the games this year. It didn’t work. It’s my job to make that work. I told them tonight, the only regret I had is we didn’t win enough games this year.”

Mariota led all rushers with 133 yards on 15 carries. He was 18 of 26 for 253 yards passing in his Heisman Trophy campaign tuneup for 2014, having announced

earlier this month that he was coming back for his junior season.

His one touchdown pass was to Josh Huff, who turned a short pass into a spectacular 16-yard sprint to the end zone.

Yet even Mariota was outscored

by Oregon’s defense — and so was Texas, for that matter.

Oregon’s first touchdown came on the third play of the game when safety Avery Patterson intercepted an overthrown pass by Texas quarterback Case McCoy and returned it 37 yards to the end zone. McCoy later bookended a dismal performance in his final game with another pick-six, this one returned 38 yards by linebacker Derrick Malone that sent waves of burnt orange-clad fans streaming for the exits.

McCoy scored on a 1-yard rush in the first quarter for Texas’ only touchdown. He finished 8 of 17 for 48 yards and was pulled at times in the second half for freshman Tyrone Swoopes.

Running back Malcolm Brown was the lone offensive constant for Texas, finishing with 130 yards on 26 carries.

“It’s tough not to get a win for him,” defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat said. “Miss Sally, she’s like a second mom to us. She takes care of us. Coach Brown loves us.”

Ole Miss wins Music City Bowl NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Bo Wallace wanted redemption for his poor play in the Egg Bowl. The Mississippi quarterback made sure the Rebels finished the season as winners.

Wallace ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score, and Ole Miss beat Georgia Tech 25-17 Monday in the Music City Bowl for the Rebels’ second straight bowl victory under coach Hugh Freeze.

The redshirt junior quarterback and Tennessee native made up for his three turnovers in the Egg Bowl overtime loss by throwing for 256 yards and running for 86 more, giving him the school record for total yards in a season and most completions in a season, topping Eli Manning for both.

“I knew I needed to have a good game,” said Wallace, also chosen the

Ole Miss (8-5) now has won six straight bowls and 10 of the last 11 in making up for the lone loss in that stretch in the 2000 Music City Bowl.

The Rebels came in tied with Auburn and Florida State, who play Jan. 6 for the BCS national championship, for the longest bowl winning streak.

Georgia Tech (7-6) has lost eight of nine bowls. The Yellow Jackets scored 10 points in the fourth quarter as they tried to rally before a safety with 4:22 left ended their last chance.

Navy wins Armed Forces Bowl FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Keenan Reynolds amazes so many people with how he directs Navy’s triple-option offense and keeps scoring touchdowns.

As for the quarterback, he is in awe of the company he now keeps after joining the 30-touchdown rushing club in the Midshipmen’s 24-6 victory over Middle Tennessee State in the Armed Forces Bowl on Monday.

“It’s huge. You just say the name Barry Sanders and you can stop right there,” Reynolds said. “He probably was the greatest college player there was.

Just to be even in that conversation with guys like that is a humbling experience.

I never thought I would be in that category.”

Reynolds had a 3-yard score to cap the opening drive for Navy (9-4) and added a 1-yarder in the fourth quarter.

Already with the NCAA record for touchdowns rushing by a quarterback, Reynolds upped his total to 31 to match Colorado State running back Kapri Bibbs, also a sophomore, for the national lead this season.

The only players with more rushing TDs in a season were Sanders (37) with Oklahoma State, and Wisconsin’s Montee Ball (33).

The Midshipmen ran 10 consecutive times on the game’s opening drive, with Reynolds going 3 yards to put them ahead to stay.

Navy, which won for only the second time in its last seven bowl games, piled up 366 yards rushing and finished this season with five straight victories.

The Blue Raiders (8-5) were held to a season low in points.
