Rep. Steve Pearce greets his supporters Saturday during an open house at his new Roswell office.
PHOENIX (AP) — Crews in New Mexico and Arizona scrambled Saturday to restore natural gas service cut off to more than 50,000 customers because of supply shortages caused by freezing temperatures. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez kept in place an emergency declaration she issued Thursday that shut down state office buildings and most schools to conserve natural gas in the state. About 1,400 of 32,000 New Mexico Gas Co. customers who had been without service since mid-week had their gas restored by early Saturday. Crews from other states and licensed contractors were helping gas company crews with the huge job. Martinez said Saturday that she authorized about 50 members of the state’s National Guard to help technicians restore service to Espanola and Taos on

Congressman Steve Pearce, R-N.M, re-opened the doors to his old Roswell office, Saturday afternoon. About 40 supporters were there to welcome back the lawmaker, who served as the state’s 2nd District’s representative from 2002 to 2008. Pearce told the crowd that he was humbled to be back in office after a twoyear hiatus that followed an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate.
“It’s humbling to go to D.C. and see that Capitol,” Pearce said. “Somebody said, ‘Do the goosebumps go away?’And I said, ‘If the goosebumps ever go away, you don’t need to be serving anymore when it becomes that complacent’.” The congressman then reiterated his message about the importance of job creation to reinvigorate the economy— something he had told a joint session of the Legislature in Santa Fe earlier this week. “I believe our government has played a role in doing

immigration checks SANTA FE (AP) — A former state police chief said Friday that Gov. Susana Martinez’s directive for immigration checks of criminal suspects shouldn’t mean much change for officers who for years have asked about a person’s immigration status if there were reason to believe a crime was committed and the infor mation could help in an investigation.
During Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration, the state police often would ask about the immigration status of those arrested for crimes and even of some people stopped for traffic violations if they believed a crime had been committed, former chief Faron Segotta told The Associated Press. Segotta, a 28-year
Egypt ruling party leaders resign but Mubarak remains
CAIRO (AP) — The leadership of Egypt’s ruling party stepped down Saturday as the military figures spearheading the transition tried to placate protesters without giving them the one resignation they demand, President Hosni Mubarak’s. The United States gave key backing to the regime’s gradual changes, war ning of the dangers if Mubarak goes too quickly. But protesters in the streets rejected the new concessions and vowed to keep up their campaign until the 82-year-old presi-
dent steps down. Many are convinced that the regime wants to wear down their movement and enact only super ficial democratic reforms that will leave its deeply entrenched monopoly on power in place. Tens of thousands thronged Cairo’s central Tahrir Square in a 12th day of protests, waving flags and chanting, “He will go! He will go!” Mubarak, who has ruled Egypt with an authoritarian hand for nearly 30 years, insists he must stay in of fice until his ter m ends, after a September

presidential election. The military figures he has installed to lead the government — Vice President Omar Suleiman and Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq — have offered in the meantime to hold negotiations with the protesters and the entire opposition over democratic reforms to ensure a fair vote. A day after President Barack Obama pushed Mubarak to leave quickly, the U.S. administration changed tone Saturday with a strong endorsement of Suleiman’s plans. “It’s important to support
the transition process announced by the Egyptian government actually headed by now-Vice President Omar Suleiman,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said at an international security conference in Munich, Germany. She warned that without orderly change, extremists could derail the process. A U.S. envoy who met Mubarak earlier this week, former ambassador Frank Wisner, went further still, saying it is “crucial” that Mubarak remain in place for the time being to ensure refor ms go through. He

pointed out that under the constitution, a Mubarak resignation would require new elections in two months, meaning they would take place under the current rules that all but guarantee a ruling party victory. America’s confidence in Suleiman is not shared by the protesters, who doubt the ruling party will bring democracy unless they continue their mass demonstrations.

County’s Every 15 Minutes program to train others JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER
Chaves County Every 15 Minutes project will be taking their program on the road. Program members have been asked by the governor staff to train other counties in the staging of mock accidents to illustrate the dangers of teenage drinking and driving. “The governor took time from her busy schedule to talk to us. We told them how the program goes and that we would like to expand the program
throughout the state,” said volunteer Sgt. Barry Dixon of the Chaves Country Sheriff’s Office. “Rod Montoya, the chief of staff to the Lt. Gov. John was very Sanchez, impressed with the extent of the Chaves County program and the volunteer hours and awesome dedication provided by our first responders and law enforcement of ficers in their effort to teach and prevent the many tragedies caused by underage drinking, and drinking and driving,” said Diane Taylor, program coordinator.
The community selected by Montoya as the first to be targeted is Farmington. “Members of a team from Farmington will view firsthand the extent of the Chaves County DWI Every 15 Minute program,” Taylor said. After representatives observe the program in action, members from the Every-15-Minutes team will go to Farmington. “After they select a date and school, a team will go to Farmington to help them get started,” said Taylor. “We’re really excited to get this going in other

Mubarak’s removal — though some appear willing to settle for his sidelining as a figurehead — with a broadbased transitional government to work out a new constitution. That could mean the crisis could move into a test of sheer endurance, as protesters try to keep drumming out tens of thousands into Tahrir day after day. The government and military have promised not to try to clear protesters from the square, and soldiers guarding the square continued to let people enter to join the growing rally. But there were signs of army impatience Saturday. At one point, army tanks tried to clear a main boulethe

There were also reports for the first time of attempts by troops to prevent those entering from bringing food for protesters. The resignation of the leadership of the ruling National Democratic Party appeared to be a new step by Suleiman to convince protesters that he was sincere about reform — or at least convince the broader public so support for the movement fades.

state police veteran who retired at the end of December, said he “didn’t see a whole lot of change” in the executive order Martinez issued last week requiring state agency law enforcement officers to ask about the immigration status of those arrested for crimes. Some Democratic lawmakers have criticized the governor’s directive, saying it could lead to racial profiling. An immigrant rights group plans a rally at the Capitol this week to protest the gover nor’s policy. Martinez, in issuing her directive, rescinded a 2005 executive order by Richardson that she described as a “sanctuary” policy for illegal immigrants. Richardson’s executive order barred state law enforcement from asking about the immigration status of someone solely to determine if they were

If a person were arrested, Segotta said, state police would determine an individual’s place of birth. If they were a foreign national, he said, they likely would be asked why they were in the United States and the officer would determine whether the person was a fugitive wanted for a crime. When arresting a foreign national, Segotta said, state police would notify the person’s consulate. Public Safety Secretary Gorden Eden, who was appointed by Martinez, said an immigration check will be required by state agency law enforcement when someone is booked into a jail after being arrested, usually for a felony. “All we will be doing is adding an additional element to the booking process where we inquire about their immigration status,” said Eden. Federal immigration authorities will be notified if the person arrested is an illegal immigrant.

in the country illegally. Richardson’s directive also prohibited an immigration check of crime victims, witnesses or others seeking assistance or reporting crimes. Martinez’s executive order does the same. Segotta said state police “weren’t really hamstrung at all” with Richardson’s executive order. Segotta was appointed state police chief in 2006 by Richardson and he helped implement the former governor’s executive order as adjutant chief. “The executive order didn’t really change the way at all the state police did business,” said Segotta. He said state police generally wouldn’t ask about the immigration status of someone during a routine traffic stop or at the scene of a traffic accident, unless the officer suspected there might be some illegal activity, such as drug trafficking, and the immigration information could be pertinent to the officer’s investigation.

She wanted to remind people that no one needs to get behind a wheel after drinking. “If they cannot call a friend, family member or cab, they can call any law enforcement or first responder to save them from following the path of one drink to the grave.”

It reaches at least 1,200 students annually. “In an effort to make a difference, Chaves County Every 15 Minute program continues to expand its ever-growing intensive and very tense program to make a life-changing impact on all who experience it in a positive way,” said Taylor. The focus is on saving lives. The program has influence in other situations, says Dixon. He cited adult DWI and teen suicide as two examples. “Students start to think what happens if they never see their parents again. It helps to build bonds not only between students, but also between students and their families.” Community relations officer for the Roswell Police Department Erica O’Bryon referred to the trip to Santa

“Money is desperately needed,” she said. “But the other [need] is to get the word out that we’re here and that we’re still doing the job we’ve been doing for almost 30 years.” Dozen of people attended Saturday’s event, where Lend-A-Hand members served beverages, cakes, soups and rolls. Food was provided by Cattleman’s Steak House, Golden Corral, Martin’s Capitol Cafe, Peppers Bar and Grill, Portofino’s Italian Restaurant, Roswell Regional Café, Sam’s Club and Tinnie Mercantile. In light of Saturday’s event, Morones said that those who can provide for themselves should not take their blessings for granted.
“Think of the less fortunate. Put yourself in their shoes and wonder what it would be like to have little small children or an elderly couple. Take the time to think of others who have to struggle to do that every day,” Morones said. Leading up to the Souper Bowl, Lend-AHand collected donations and canned goods at Farmers Country Market. In all, Morones estimates that the Souper Bowl campaign, including Saturday’s efforts raised well over $1,000, in addition to other pending donations.

Sunday. Officials in both states said additional disruptions were not expected as temperatures rose, demand eased and supply disruptions in west Texas caused by the freezing weather diminished. An El Paso Gas Corp. spokesman said the company’s regional pipeline system was coming back up to normal pressures after days where demand over-stripped supply and forced big utilities to cut deliveries to some of their customers. Supplies were crimped because gas wellheads froze and some power plants shut down, cutting power to gas processing stations, El Paso Gas spokesman Richard Wheatley said Saturday. At the same time, demand soared, and some customers were taking more gas out of the pipeline than they had ordered delivered, he said.

Several fires were reported in the Taos, N.M., area caused by over -bur ning, although no injuries were reported. The weather across the Southwest was expected to slowly warm in coming days, although some storms were predicted in northern New Mexico. “Given the extent of the freeze-offs and weather and power outages, this so-called perfect storm, I think we did a pretty good job in moving the gas that we had available,” said El Paso’s Wheatley. “Sure, there were some supply disruptions in certain areas, but we were in close contact with folks like Southwest Gas and New Mexico Gas, to make sure we were hearing their concerns and getting them as much gas as we were physically able to do.”

“In the last several days we’ve been able to transport all available gas that we can get via our system to our customers, but again, we had more gas being taken off the system than we have supplies coming into the system,” he said.

State film industry survives its first test A4 Sunday, February 6, 2011
SANTA FE — The film industry cleared its first hurdle recently when it succeeded in getting Rep. Dennis Kintigh’s bill to wipe out the rebate film companies receive for doing business in New Mexico. The vote was along party lines with Democrats winning 5-4 in a House committee meeting held before a packed audience. The next hurdle will be higher. Gov. Susana Martinez wants to lower the film rebate amount from 25 percent to 15 percent. Industry insiders predict they won’t have the luxury of going after a free-standing bill from Martinez. They think her effort will be tucked away in the general appropriations bill. Insiders also believe their support will not be along straight party lines. A number of Albuquerque Republicans are well aware of the jobs and business film-making brings to their districts. And many rural Democrats realize the industry doesn’t help

their area at all. The urban-rural split is one of the problems faced by those supporting a big rebate to keep movie makers coming to New Mexico. Most of the action is in Albuquerque and Santa Fe where the labor pool is. Companies that have ventured to smaller towns usually are greeted with open arms but occasionally neighbors complain that the activity disrupts their quiet lifestyle. Some states have bumped up rebates for filming in rural areas. Michigan is reported to be willing to go as high as 42 percent.
The big question faced by the governor and legislators is how much is enough. We can be rather positive that lowering the rebate from 25 percent to 15 percent will lose some business. But is even 15 percent a good deal for the state? Some studies say it isn’t. Some states in even worse financial shape than New Mexico have dropped their rates or suspended their programs. Why is it so hard to determine what is a good deal and what isn’t? It’s because the movie and television industry is so different from other businesses. It’s a comparison between apples and oranges. Most businesses come to town, put down stakes, hire permanent employees and pay taxes on their business profits. With film makers, it’s hello and goodbye. And if we take out some of the sweetener, it’s not even hello. We know the film industry hires

several thousand temporary workers, rents a great deal of equipment, buys a lot of supplies and fills up motels and restaurants. We give the companies back 25 percent of what they document they’ve spent. That means they’ve put 75 percent, three times as much, into the state’s economy we wouldn’t have had otherwise. It helps the economy. But do the taxes these companies pay the state help or hurt our deficit situation? We don’t seem to know. What if discouraging Hollywood makes our deficit worse? My wife once had a commission job in which she sold much more than expected. She was told the budget item for commissions had run out. What do you think happened next? The state must get better information. But not all the information seems to be available because of taxpayer confidentiality. Gov.
Martinez doesn’t agree the state should withhold the information so maybe we’ll find out more. We need a definitive study. Until then, Martinez says the money will come out of school budgets. The other side says New Mexico is closer than any other state to having a film industry big enough to be full time like Hollywood. Do we toss that chance away? Officials from top Hollywood studios have recently visited quietly with Martinez in Santa Fe to explain the situation as they see it. There’s no word yet on how that turned out. Possibly a more serious problem is the money borrowed at no interest by film companies from the state’s permanent fund. Wouldn’t you think the state should receive at least a prime interest rate?

Approve Schmitt
We’re moving into the fourth week of this year’s 60-day legislative session, and as of this writing we’re still waiting for a vote on the appointment of Harrison “Jack” Schmitt as the state’s secretary of the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. It’s past time for him to be confirmed for the position. Schmitt was selected by Gov. Susana Martinez in early January. Based on all the accounts we’ve heard, Schmitt is an intelligent and hard working individual. His credentials more than satisfy the requirements of the post. Schmitt, 75, was one of the last men to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. He won election to the Senate in 1976. Schmitt, who lives in Albuquerque but grew up in Silver City, has been working as an aerospace consultant. Martinez said one of Schmitt’s first assignments is to review the energy agency’s regulations, including rules adopted by former Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration in 2008 that restrict the use of pits for onsite waste disposal at drilling sites. The oil industry has objected to the regulations, saying they are partly to blame for a slowdown in drilling in New Mexico. Oil and gas production is a key component of our state’s economy and the tax revenue it generates is critical to the state’s government budget. It seems in recent years too many state lawmakers and regulators have made a point of punishing this invaluable industry with overly burdensome regulations. We’re pleased our new governor is looking into this situation. Opposition to Schmitt’s appointment seems to be centered around his stance against the theory that humans are producing global warming. In resigning from The Planetary Society in 2008, Schmitt wrote “the ‘global warming scare’ is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making.” We have stated in this space several times that we are also very skeptical regarding the research and evidence attached to the theory of global warming. We applaud Schmitt’s courage for speaking out against a theory which has proponents who are quick to attack anyone who questions its tenets. The confirmation process of cabinet secretaries should be limited to determining if the appointees possess the ability to perform the duties of the offices to which they have been named. Schmitt is clearly well qualified and he should be confirmed as quickly as possible. That Martinez selected Schmitt to serve in her Cabinet is high praise of his qualifications. Lawmakers should respect our new governor’s decision on who is best suited to serve in her administration. DEAR DR. GOTT: Regarding your past columns about “growing pains,” I had such severe pain in my knees as a young teen that I could barely walk. I was told it was due to a growth spurt and to just learn to live with it. I had no fevers, redness or swelling, but just a few years later was hit with MCTD, including rheumatoid arthritis. I am happy that you told the child’s granny to look for other symptoms, such as fever, etc., but I think the pediatrician should have looked into doing some blood work to rule out other possibilities. On another topic: For all those elderly people out there who have “fainting fits,” the “woozies” or the “spins,” drink a couple of glasses of water.

Why not freeze foreign spending, too?
During his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama was adamant about freezing U.S. government domestic spending over the next five years. But why not do the same for U.S. spending abroad? The president said: “So tonight, I am proposing that starting this year, we freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years. Now, this would reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade.” Forget for a moment that I believe we need to cut government spending by at least 10 percent across the board

It is sometimes referred to an as overlap disease because it causes symptoms similar to those associated with lupus, polymyositis, scleroder ma and, sometimes, rheumatoid arthritis. MCTD most often occurs in women in their 20s and 30s. Symptoms generally occur gradually with signs of lupus appearing first in most cases. Most sufferers are first diagnosed with lupus because of this, but as symptoms progress, the diagnosis of MCTD is then made. Symptoms may include Raynaud’s disease (which may present years before other symptoms), malaise (feeling unwell), fatigue, mild fever, swollen joints and/or hands, puffy fingers, myalgia

These work to reduce inflammation and pain. Methotrexate and corticosteroids, such as prednisone, may also be prescribed.

Putting your children’s interests first is important Roswell Daily Record
“You have got to love your children more than you hate your ex.” Pretty powerful words, but words many parents from broken relationships need to hear. Bad things happen when your hatred for your former partner overcomes you. I know it is a constant battle, but I also know parents can win this battle if they try hard enough. I would like to address today’s column to the parents of children who have gone through or are going through a broken relationship. I want to talk about relationships and communication. I have practiced law for more than 28 years and have handled family law cases throughout my entire career. I have been involved in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of failing relationships from divorces to custody determinations involving parents who never married. It never ceases to amaze me what two adults do to each other in an effort to “get even” and in the process they sacrifice their children. The youth of our world are our most appreciable asset. Somewhere in our community, there is a 6-year-old boy who in the next dozen years may break into your home or may be valedictorian of his class. It is too early to tell. The direction he heads is tied directly to the parenting he receives. Our community is counting on you, parents! I regularly see parents who are unable to communicate with one another. Some of them can’t even say the other parent’s name. Often the other parent is repeatedly referred to as “my ex” as if they lost their first name when the relationship failed. In these instances

JUST A THOUGHT
I ask the parent to try to use the former partner’s name because they remain a living breathing person complete with feelings and emotions. What happens when parents can’t communicate and problem solve together is their child or children move into a power position. I have seen many children from elementary age to high school completely control both parents because the parents refuse to communicate. Let me give you an example. A 10-year-old girl comes back from a weekend visit with her father and her mother’s first question is, “What is your dad up to these days?” The mother is hoping the response will be something like, “Oh, he is very unhappy.” For some reason, the mother has wished bad things on the father since the day he left her. The child says, “He didn’t spend very much time with me because he has a new girlfriend.” Mom’s eyes light up and she impulsively utters a derogatory sentence about the father that includes a curse word. She is not thinking about her daughter. But she is angry about her former spouse and that this is his third new girlfriend in three months. Mom decides to go further, “What does she look like (as if this is an important question for the child)?”
against the U.S. in a majority of the important non-consensus votes.” In short, the feds are chronic enablers of not only their own U.S. citizens on welfare but also other countries on our foreign aid, preventing all of them from bearing their own responsibilities. The feds have become the parents in the global house, and they are making excuse after excuse as to why others can’t tie up their bootstraps, grow up and get along without our help. This “savior” mentality is crippling the U.S. and ushering in our economic demise, but it’s exactly the role of government that President Obama espouses and enacts. If I were president, here’s what I would propose for foreign realignment. I’d have the U.S. State Department inform all other countries that we are freezing domestic and foreign spending for at least the next five years. And at the end of those five years, we’d reassess U.S. support not only on the basis of the health of the U.S. economy but also, more importantly, on the basis of how other countries support U.S. interests and trade over the same time period. One might call that blackmail, but I call it business. The truth is that in the second fiveyear period, I would work voraciously to wean other countries off “U.S. milk.” They don’t need our finances to feel our support. There are many other ways. And in so doing, we’ll grow up to be a healthier global community. (I just learned that Rand Paul, the new senator from Kentucky, proposed ending all foreign aid last week.) And for those who would say that we have to give to get American interests and security, I would reply: Maybe the proof that other countries can’t be
The child says, “She is very young and has blonde hair.” Mother now raises her voice and calls the child’s father a name in a sentence with two curse words. Mother is thinking thoughts such as, “How dare he date a younger woman,” and “I hope they have a miserable relationship.” The mother asks, “What is her name?” and the discussion continues as the mother pulls every detail she can from the poor 10-year-old child who was just happy to return home. The mother eventually says, “I don’t think you should go and see dad anymore if he is going to spend the weekend with a girlfriend.” The child agrees. The mother says, “I wish your father would recognize you are more important than his girlfriend.” The child agrees. The mother says, “You have a terrible father, don’t ever marry a man like him!” The child’s eyes tear up. Do you think this has ever happened before? Sure it has. Mother is seeking to program her daughter to dislike her own father because of mother’s hatred for him. And the genders can be reversed, it works both ways; the example could be the father seeking to program his daughter. The 10-year-old child, who loves her dad as well as her mother is now caught in the middle. Her mother is trashing her father. What began as a simple and innocent observation by the child has now become a mission by her mother. Daughter is being sacrificed for mother to get back at her former spouse. Wouldn’t it be nice if the 10year-old could just enjoy being a 10-year-old? The world is difficult
friends to America without our money is proof that they are no friends at all. No surprise that nearly 60 percent of Americans in a new Gallup Poll said they would be in favor of cutting foreign aid — the highest percentage in the entire poll. In his State of the Union speech, President Obama even confessed to the deep need for change in our relations with the world: “Our success in this new and changing world will require reform, responsibility and innovation. It will also require us to approach that world with a new level of engagement in our foreign affairs.” So let me propose that the “new level” is no new level at all, but an old level — a foreign policy articulated well by our Founding Fathers 200 years ago and other patriots today. I agree with Ron Paul, the father of Rand Paul and an exceptional representative and example of a constitutional statesman. In his book “The Revolution,” Ron writes, “It is time for us to consider a strategic reassessment of our policy of foreign interventionism, occupation, and nation building.” Our Founders would not endorse the global presence we have today, especially with the costs of doing so in light of our colossal deficit and debt. As George Washington said, “the great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. ... ’Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world.” Could it get any more wise and simple than that? In the end, the fact is that the U.S. economy could collapse, and the rest of the countries of the world would survive and probably even thrive. I pray that it doesn’t take that form of U.S. economic earthquake to prove that very case. © 2011 Chuck Norris

enough on children as they mature and develop, worry about school, friends, their changing bodies, dating, and so on. We now have a 10-year-old child in control. She knows just where her mother’s “goat” is and she can now make her mother angry at her father in a heartbeat. Daughter knows she can “miscolor” things from time to time that happen at her father’s and mom will not know any differently because her mother and her father never talk. She also knows she can control her father in the same manner. I have seen many instances where I wonder if the child is more mature than her two parents, who are each three times her age. Because the mother and the father are unable to talk, which is in the best interest of the child, the child is moved to a power position. Many times I have encouraged parents who can’t even agree on what day of the week it is to schedule a time each week to visit by phone and talk only about their child or children. If they can put their hatred for their former partner second and put their love for their child first, everyone wins. The five or 10 minutes the parents talk can save hours and hours of frustration and anger for each parent and by comparing notes and communicating, the two parents can make adult decisions and then jointly and in a unified manner tell their child what is to happen. The young 10-year-old will, in the future, become a wife herself. She will become a mother and a grandmother. She will have a significant impact on other young lives in the days to come. She may marry one of our relatives. The

City land lease
Dear Editor: Regarding the City Council: Yea, it stinks! But it will soon blow over and be forgotten. Now people, pay attention. There’s been a precedent set. If, for example, the 98 percent of you nobodies, like me, should submit an honest bid for services to the city of Roswell you will also run the risk of any ol’ politician coming in and low-balling your bid. They are sweet talking our insanely gullible councilors and mayor into changing the rules. It has happened now and will happen again. As for me, I am presently looking for a pony that I can put in a dog and pony show as an offering to the councilors and the mayor in hopes of winning another bid. Which brings three questions to mind. 1. How many bids must I win before being awarded the contract? 2. If I don’t win the bid, will I be allowed to change the rules? 3. And could I possibly keep this up until election time? I’m looking forward to bid No. 3 where I perform a one-man, three-piece-band act. (Better practice!) I’m longing for the days to simply bid on a grass lease for my replacement heifers. Oh, by the way, I will pay top dollar for a pony that can jump through hoops! Steve Oldfield Roswell

Tumbleweeds
Dear Editor; I want to compliment the Roswell city road workers for their prompt attention and work on my recent problem with tumbleweeds. We had that horrible wind storm which encouraged the tumbleweeds to blow into my backyard. My family and I removed all the tumbleweeds that had filled my backyard to the roof of my house and put them in the alley. The alley was blocked with tumbleweeds so I called to ask the city to remove all of the tumbleweeds and they came the next day to take care of them. Thank you for a job well done! Hopefully the tumbleweeds are in Texas now! Marsha Kirkham Roswell
Partisan politics doesn’t grieve
Dear Editor: While most of us contemplate the senseless killing and wounding in Tucson with horror and the shaking of heads, the Roswell Daily Record’s political cartoonist Keith Bell has depicted in a Jan. 14, 2011, drawing, another and apparently equal tragedy in Tucson. A gun toting donkey has shot holes in a sign which reads “Free Speech.” Exactly how our First Amendment right to freedom of speech has been assassinated is unclear. President Obama and others have told us that as a nation and as individuals it would be best to tone down the rhetoric and to avoid anything that could be seen a hate speech. This is a time for grieving. The shootings and killings, especially with women and children and members of our government involved, bring out strong emotions. We are shocked, saddened and angry and we want to strike out. We want to make someone pay and somehow stop it so it will never happen again. But all we can do is remember the dead and help the living. What we should not do is play a game of gotcha and try to make political hay out of this tragedy. The right to free speech is alive and well in America. John Popham Roswell

Ways to retain doctors
Dear Editor: I am writing in response to our mayor’s recent column lamenting the difficultly our town has retaining physicians. This is an ongoing problem for all rural communities and I have some proposals for our legislators in Santa Fe to make the economic climate here in rural New Mexico more attractive to physicians. First, I would advocate doubling the rural physician tax credit. Look, if it weren’t for tax credits New Mexico would not have a film industry. If tax credits work to bring film to New Mexico, they can’t hurt our efforts to retain rural physicians. Now I understand our state is facing a severe budget shortfall, and that physicians are well compensated, their services. But that’s not the point. The point is that physicians have choices: we can choose to stay or to go. So maybe if the state sweetens the pot, more physicians will choose to stay. It can’t hurt. My second proposal would be to eliminate the gross receipts tax for non-elective medical services. I’ll bet a lot of people don’t even know that gross receipts applies to medical services because few people ever see a medical bill with gross receipts tax added. Well, it does and it doesn’t. Payments from Medicare and the U.S. government are exempt from gross receipts. If you have a PPO such as Blue Cross, and your physician has a contract with Blue Cross, then those payments from Blue Cross are exempt. If you don’t have insurance and pay your physician cash, that payment is subject to gross receipts tax. When you make a co-pay for your office visit, that co-pay is subject to gross receipts tax. However, your physician is not allowed to add the gross receipts tax to your co-pay, it just comes off the top. Are you with me so far? Here’s where it gets really complicated. Payments for New Mexico medicaid are subject to gross receipts. Why’s this? As it was explained to me, years ago when the state had money, New Mexico Medicaid paid physicians Medicare rates plus gross receipts. Since Medicaid is partnership 50-50 between the state and the federal government, the state was able to churn the gross receipts payment by paying more to the doctors up front, then collecting money back through the gross receipts; thus getting 3.5 percent more Medicaid money from the feds. Well, the feds figured this one out and so this scheme didn’t last and the state no longer gets the benefit of the churn of federal Medicaid funds. But the gross receipt tax on Medicaid payments remains. And over the years, the state has been cutting the Medicaid reimbursement rates. Now, instead of Medicare rates, in 2010 New Mexico Medicaid paid physicians about 82 percent of the Medicare rate. Then you take 7 percent off that for gross receipts and you see that Medicaid isn’t so good anymore. I know of physicians in Roswell who don’t see Medicaid patients because of the gross receipts tax. And remember, we already have a shortage of physicians anyway. On top of this, the paperwork required to keep track of gross receipts is a nightmare. Blue Cross pays me electronically; the money appears in my corporate bank account as a Blue Cross payment. Blue Cross issues my company only one 1099 at
Roswell Daily Record the end of the year. Yet each Blue Cross payment could include Blue Cross PPO — exempt; Blue Medicare — exempt; Blue Cross Medicare Supplement — subject to gross receipts tax; and Blue Salud! (Medicaid) — subject to gross receipts tax. One 1099 should be subject to one tax. Why don’t we just eliminate gross receipts tax on all non-elective medical services? Since the majority of these services are exempt from gross receipts tax already, the effect on the state budget will be minimal. This change would boost physician revenue, increase physician participation in the Medicaid program, and be another incentive for physicians to remain in New Mexico as opposed to relocating to a tax friendlier state like Texas.

Students need parental involvement
Dear Editor: Again Keith Bell has hit the nail on the head with his “School Daze” cartoon. (RDR Jan. 20) We read all the negative press about the dismal performance of the public schools concerning the poor academic achievement of students and the high dropout rate. Before you begin to criticize the public schools for all of society’s failures, consider this: Getting kids to the classroom and keeping kids in the classroom is the responsibility of parents not the responsibility of the public schools. The “School Daze” cartoon was probably a response to the recent news article about the third-graders hitting pot hard in the bathroom at school. The pot or the money for the pot probably came from the parents, or guardians. The school system was not responsible for the pot smoking but teachers have to deal with the results and be criticized for the poor performance of the smokers. Also consider this: a high school teacher teaches on the average five 55-minute classes each day. That’s 275 minutes. In that 275 minutes, he or she sees about 125 students. That is just over two minutes per student. An elementary teacher teaches about the same number of minutes each day. If he or she has the same students all day, he or she has a whopping 11 minutes per day per student, and these teachers are expected to do, in those precious few minutes, what parents can’t do in the other 1,080 minutes, 18 hours) when they are responsible for the child. Ridiculous! Parents are failing, not the schools! When I started teaching in Dexter in the early ’60s, if a teacher threatened to talk to a student’s parents about his or her poor performance or attitude, that teacher usually got the desired results without following through with the threat. (And you could find most of the students’ parents then.) When I was teaching at Goddard in the late ’80s, I became concerned about a senior girl’s attitude and poor achievement in the classroom. I told her I was going to talk to her parents. Her reply: “lots of luck. If you find them, tell them I would like to talk to them too!” Randle Earley Roswell

Pricey Prince concert canceled at last minute
DALLAS (AP) — Prince’s Super Bowl-weekend concert was a Super Bust. The superstar was supposed to per form Friday night at TheEvent, a concert with Erykah Badu that was to be a fundraiser for The Goss-Michael Foundation, the art group founded by George Michael and his longtime partner, Kenny Goss. But the per for mance never happened, and the circumstances surrounding the cancellation were as mysterious as the Purple One himself. Things started falling apart early Friday, when a statement of disappointment was sent by the foundation saying the concert was canceled. “It is our understanding that River Alexander Group, the event organizer, was unable to fund and produce the evening,� the statement said. “The organizer came to The Goss-Michael Foundation, invited us to be the beneficiary and receive some of
the proceeds which would have gone to our high school scholarship program.� Then the statement was rescinded by the foundation shortly after that, with another saying the concert was back on: “Prince has arrived in Dallas and will perform this evening.� But the concert, recently moved from a tent in downtown Dallas to a hotel just north of the city, never materialized Friday night, and a source close to Prince, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak publicly, told The Associated Press on Saturday that he never came to Dallas. Prince’s camp said the organizers never arranged for transportation for him and his band. Prince was also worried that the disorganization meant the organizers would not have the technical aspects necessary for him to put on his per for mance, the source said.
“Prince is extremely disappointed that the organizers, the Meridian Entertainment Group and the River Alexander Group ... were unable bring him and his band to Dallas,� the source said. “They say that apparently they lost their investors and were unable to adequately fund the event. Prince was looking forward to performing in support of the GossMichael Foundation.� Dallas radio and TV personality Chris Arnold, the event’s emcee and organizer, insisted Prince’s band arrived and set up at the hotel in the afternoon, but Prince never made it to Dallas. Arnold said people didn’t know the event was canceled until they showed up, and he apologized for that. “I just want to let everybody know that I am truly sorry,� Arnold said. He said people who bought tickets to the show — which cost $1,500 per ticket and even more for VIP packages — would
Hugh Jackman gives Oscar advice to Hathaway, Franco
DALLAS (AP) — As a former host of the Academy Awards, Hugh Jackman has some advice to this year’s hosts: enjoy the beginning of the show and don’t forget to eat. He advises James Franco and Anne Hathaway to have fun during the first 45 minutes of the show and move things along after that. He also says it’s important to eat, remembering when he was hosting in 2009 pulling out some
cookies and being surrounded by hungry actors. Jackman made the comments Friday night while attending the Audi Forum Dallas pre-Super Bowl party. He says he thinks
Franco and Hathaway will do a “great job.� Jackman, who played Wolverine in the X-Men movies, is set to be a presenter at this year’s Oscars.

have their money refunded at the point of purchase. “It was a very, very exciting thing that didn’t happen unfortunately,� Arnold said. On Saturday afternoon, Joyce Goss, the executive director for the foundation, called the cancellation an
immeasurable disappointment for “us, our scholarship recipients and our supporters.� Goss said the River Alexander Group assured the foundation there would be a show until the very end and noted that scholarship winners were sup-
posed to have appeared onstage with Prince and Badu. “I have personally reached out to each one of them and assured them that their expenses related to this situation will be fully reimbursed,� she added.

DEXTER — Oh, the fickle nature of momentum — one minute it’s on your side, the next it’s not. There’s no mistaking that momentum plays a vital role in the success — and failures — of high school basketball teams. On Saturday, momentum led to success for the Dexter boys basketball team and brought upon the other for the New Mexico Military Institute Colts. A small swing in momentum near the end of the first half turned into a big swing for Dexter, and the Demons rode that to a 5439 win over NMMI in a District 5-2A affair at Lewis Gym inside Dexter High School. After a first quarter that saw three ties and seven lead changes, NMMI seemed in control as the second quarter started with the Colts leading 15-14. The Colts were controlling the tempo and had held Dexter’s top offensive threats, Tyler Miles and Steven Marquez, to a com-
bined four points. The lead changed hands three times in the first 4 minutes of the quarter before Dexter’s Bryan Mireles tied the game for the sixth time with 3:45 left. NMMI got the lead back 40 seconds later on a James McCoy putback, but couldn’t add to its cushion after turning the ball over on its next two possessions. The Demons (11-10, 2-0 District 5-2A), meanwhile, got a trey from Marquez with 1:41 left for a 22-21 lead and then made it 2421 on a steal and runout layup by Justin Salas with 1:12 left. “I told the guys, ‘This is kind of the turning of the tide. They didn’t hang on to it, they’re trying to give it to you,”” said Demon coach James Bracken. “Finally, I think they realized it. We told the kids that when we come out, we’ve got to get after it. “We pressed them and switched some things up, and we kind of threw (NMMI) off a little bit. It was to our advantage.

FREDETTE IS NEW KING OF MWC SCORERS
PROVO, Utah (AP) — BYU’s Jimmer Fredette did not hear the pre-game trash talk ripping him as a one-man show who won’t pass the ball. Afterward, he didn’t care. With plenty of help from his teammates, Fredette and the No. 9 Cougars shut up TreVon Willis and UNLV with a 78-64 victory Saturday that gave BYU the regular-season sweep. “At this point, it doesn’t matter what he says. I was just worried about getting the victory,” said Fredette, who became the Mountain West Conference career scoring leader, breaking the mark of 2,189 points set by San Diego State’s Brandon Heath in 2007. Fredette now has 2,194. Despite battling a head cold that left him struggling to breathe, and double- and triple-teams that forced him to give up the ball and turn it over five times, Fredette still scored 29 points. He was a team-record 16 of 16 from the foul line, but just 6 of 14 from the field. “He earned his points,” BYU coach Dave Rose said of Fredette, who also had seven assists. BYU (22-2, 8-1) halted a three-game winning streak by UNLV (17-6, 5-4), which got 16 points from Anthony Marshall and 15 from Willis. Jackson Emery added 15 points, including a pair of late 3-pointers, while Stephen Rogers came up big off the bench with 12 points and eight rebounds in 21 minutes for the Cougars. Charles Abouo added 10 points, while Brandon Davies and Noah Hartsoch each had three blocks.

DALLAS (AP) — Michael Vick took a most unusual path to The Associated Press 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award he received Saturday night. In the 12-year history of the honor, no player has returned from jail to earn it. After missing two seasons serving a federal sentence for dogfighting, then spending most of the previous year as a seldom-used backup in Philadelphia, Vick was back at his best in 2010. Taking over as starter in Week 2 after Kevin Kolb sustained a concussion, Vick ran and passed the Eagles to the NFC East title and a 10-6 record. He also displayed the See VICK, Page B2

Faulk, Sanders headline HOF Class of 2011
Members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2011 are, from left, Richard Dent, Marshall Faulk, Chris Hanburger, Les Richter, Deion Sanders and Shannon Sharpe. Not pictured is Ed Sabol. The Class of 2011 will be inducted into the Hall on Aug. 6 in Canton, Ohio.
DALLAS (AP) — Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk led a class of seven voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Joining them were Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent, Ed Sabol, Les Richter and Chris Hanburger. Sanders, the outstanding cornerback/kick returner and somet i m e w i d e r ece i ve r k n ow n a s “Prime Time” with five teams, is a two-time Super Bowl winner and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 1994.
Faulk won a Super Bowl with the 1999 Rams, was the 1994 Of fe nsi ve Roo ki e o f t h e Year, 2000 NFL MVP and a three-time Of fe nsi ve P layer of t he Year (1999-2001). Faulk is the 10th le ad in g ca r ee r r ush er wit h 12,279 yards. Sharpe starred for Denver and Baltimor e for 14 seasons and won three Super Bowls in a fouryear span, two with Denver, one with Baltimore. He held league records for a tight end in recep-
t i on s, yar ds a nd tou ch down s when he retired in 2001. Bears defensive end Dent was the MVP of the 1986 Super Bowl and finished with 137 1 ⁄ 2 career sacks. He was the top pass rusher on one of the NFL’s greatest defensive units. Dent became a starter in 1984, beginning a 10year period in which he made 10 or more sacks in eight of 10 seasons. “It was a long time coming, I am very happy,” Dent said. “If
you can do your thing the way (Walter Payton) did his, you can be in the Hall of Fame. I am so thankful for this.” Dent also won a Super Bowl in 1994 with the 49ers. Richter played linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams from 195462. They traded 11 players for him and waited two years while he was in the military before he su it e d u p .

Packers fan in Visa ad to miss 1st Super Bowl
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The streak is over: One of the four men featured in a national commercial for never missing a Super Bowl game will not be at Sunday’s showdown between Pittsburgh and Green Bay. Family members said Saturday that 79year-old Robert Cook of Brown Deer, Wis., is hospitalized and had sent his two daughters to Arlington, Texas, instead. Cook’s wife, Sarah, told The Associated Press her husband became very weak on Thursday. “We were packed and ready to go,” she said. Cook said her husband is very depressed; the streak is over, but he also won’t be able to watch his beloved Packers in the big game. “To have the Packers go to the Super Bowl, we were just over the moon about it,” Sarah Cook said. Cook, New England Patriots fan Donald Crisman, San Francisco 49ers fan Larry Jacobson and Pittsburgh Steelers fan Thomas Henschel have been to every Super Bowl since 1967 and created the “Never Missed a Super Bowl Club.” The four gained recognition in a recent Visa Inc. credit card commercial that celebrated the men’s passion for football and their perfect attendance record. Cook’s daughters have enlarged a photo of their dad and attached it to a stick so they can hold it up at the game.

The Super Bowl mystique and tradition Roswell Daily Record
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — NFL commissioners can’t root, so Roger Goodell will just sit back and smile as he watches this Super Bowl. A season that saw pro football claim boffo TV ratings and reach new heights of popularity — even as it dealt with a stream of off-field woes — will end with two classic, hard-nosed teams clashing in its championship game. “When you look at this matchup,” Goodell said, “and you say Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers — that’s football.” “This isn’t just about fans in western Pennsylvania or Wisconsin. They have national followings. And I think that is what’s so exciting for this country and the whole world. This is fun. This is celebrating the game that I love, that we all love, and I think this is going to be a terrific night.” It’s hard to argue with the mystique and tradition that comes with this one, stretching all the way back to football’s blue-collar roots. The Steelers (14-4) already own the most Vince Lombardi Trophies (six), which must gall their opponents from Titletown USA. Pittsburgh goes for its seventh Super Bowl title Sunday at Cowboys Stadium. Green Bay (13-6) has three, taking the first two Super Bowls under Lombardi’s guidance, and winning another in 1997. The Packers also took six NFL championship games before there was a Super Bowl. What’s funny, in this age of tweeting players and 24/7 Super Bowl week coverage, is that these teams would probably look familiar to the Steelers and Packers of 1933, the first year both franchises were in the league. Both the Packers and the Steelers have 16 homegrown starters. Each has a dynamic defense led by the top two vote-getters for Defensive Player of the Year, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, the runner-up. Both have playmaking quarterbacks who have risen to elite status — although in entirely different manners. Just as the two teams went about getting to the Super Bowl in opposite ways: Pittsburgh as a division winner and second seed that won two home games, the Packers as a wild-card that hit the road for three victories over division champs.
Through it all, there’s that history of success that bonds the Rooney familyowned Steelers and the community-owned Packers. “Coach (Mike) Tomlin uses the term with his players,” Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson says of the Steelers coach. “He says, ‘The standard is the standard.’ “Quite frankly, that philosophy seems to fit pretty good with us, too.” Yes, there’s the Steelers Way and the Packers Way. Through the Lambeau, Lombardi and Holmgren years in Green Bay, the Noll, Cowher and Tomlin years in Pittsburgh, the common thread has been sticking to your roots no matter how bumpy the journey. “I think the idea of having the right people in place and finding and keeping good people, that’s something that goes back to my grandfather and my father,” says Steelers President Art Rooney II. “As they said, keeping it simple and keeping the right people in place, that’s the key.” The players recognize how different these two franchises are from the other 30 teams. It might sound corny when they say “Once a Steeler (or Packer), always a Steeler (or Packer).” Yet it rings true for them, and that doesn’t simply stem from success on the field. It goes beyond that. “I think the first thing you look at is there’s no owner, so a lot of the fans consider themselves owners and personally invested,” says Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who’s had a spectacular postseason. “A lot of them are personally invested in the team. It’s a college-like atmosphere in Green Bay. Everywhere you go you see green and gold, it’s a first-name basis, and there’s just a special connection that’s always been there between the players and the fans.” Of course, there are no other pro teams in Green Bay. Even though there are two in Pittsburgh, the Penguins and Pirates, the Steel City’s true love affair is with the Steelers. “It’s awesome,” says quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who tested that relationship more than any player when he was accused in March of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student — the second time since 2008 he faced assault allegations. Georgia authorities declined to

Most stadium entrances were closed as a precaution and officials raised the temperature inside the arena in an attempt to melt any remaining ice. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said workers were checking the roof for areas where there could be more issues. “The likelihood is they’ll

Mother Nature’s impact on Super Bowl XLV “Great tradition, outstanding teams,” Jones said at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. “With what the Packers are about and what the Steelers are about, it makes a great game. If you’re in my shoes right now as far as Cowboys Stadium is concerned, I’m really proud that they’re going to be there. I’m proud for North Texas.” Yet the wintry blast has challenged everyone. Temperatures were below freezing for the fourth consecutive day Friday, when more snow fell three days after an ice storm. Most Super Bowl events have gone on as planned despite uncertainty that visitors won’t be able to get to Dallas or might cancel their stays. After Super Bowl media day Tuesday, Jones used some of his business background to address the

That’s why I will sit here and say until the day I die that I feel that Steelers fans are the best fans in all of sports, bar none. I know we’ve got a team whose fans are going to want to argue that because Packers fans are great, too, so that’s why I think this is the awesome matchup. You’ve got two really good football teams, you’ve got two great fan bases and you’ve got two storied franchises.

Coverage of Super Bowl XLV continues on B4 and B5
DALLAS (AP) — Jerry Jones has long looked forward to Super Bowl week, to the glitz and glitter sure to come with hosting the NFL’s biggest and most-watched event in his showcase $1.2 billion stadium. The leadup to Sunday’s game wasn’t supposed to be like this. A long, cold week in North Texas took an even worse turn Friday when six people were injured after being struck by ice and snow falling off the domed roof of cavernous Cowboys Stadium in nearby Arlington. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, but the accident added to the general sense of frustration with cold weather in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this week. The injured were private contractors hired by the NFL to prepare the stadium for the game. One man was hit in the head, another in the shoulder. It was a jarring incident, coming two days before the game at the end of the season that saw the Vikings displaced — twice — after the roof of the Metrodome collapsed under heavy snow. No one was hurt. The accident Friday was not the first involving icy conditions at Cowboys Stadium. In December 2009, two workers doing maintenance on the icy roof were injured when they slipped and tumbled at least 50 feet. They didn’t fall off the roof because they were stopped by what is basically a huge rain gutter. One of the workers broke a leg and suffered other injuries, and the other had a back injury. This NFL season started fresh for Jones, who wanted his Cowboys to become the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Those hopes were dashed with a 1-7 start, but the Super Bowl was still coming to Arlington and once Green Bay and Pittsburgh sealed their trips to the big game, Jones was happy to host them.

have to get somebody up there to get the snow off as soon as possible,” Goodell said. “They likely will be doing that in the next 24 hours.” The forecast called for temperatures getting into the low 40s under partly cloudy skies Saturday. There is a chance of rain or more snow early Sunday with the temperature again around 40. The temperature won’t matter to most of the 100,000 fans, who will be inside the stadium — though it could be an issue for the 5,000 people with $200 tickets to watch the game from a party plaza just outside. Inside are the world’s two biggest high-definition television screens, museum-caliber artwork, field-level suites and endzone doors capable of sliding open, just like the roof.

Super Bowl XLV: The key matchups Roswell Daily Record
Matchups for the Super Bowl between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
When the Steelers have the ball
Pittsburgh typically wants to do exactly what it did in the first half of the AFC championship game: ram the ball down an opponent’s throat. Actually, RB Rashard Mendenhall (34) showed plenty of speed and some moves, too, against the Jets, and that’s what the Steelers need to see against Green Bay’s 18th-ranked rushing defense. Of course, the Packers’ defense isn’t likely to consistently miss tackles and be out of position the way the Jets were for 30 decisive minutes. LBs Clay Matthews (52), A.J. Hawk (50) and Desmond Bishop (55) are major reasons Green Bay (13-6) has been stingy against the run in the playoffs, and defensive backs Charles Woodson (21), Tramon Williams (38), and Nick Collins (36) are solid in support. They also excel in pass coverage, along with nickel back Sam Shields (37), a rookie who had two interceptions in the NFC title game. If Mendenhall can find room to roam behind a depleted offensive line that still has been steady — it desperately needs standout rookie C Maurkice Pouncey (53) to recover from a left ankle sprain and be in the lineup — the Steelers will keep pounding. But there’s vulnerability in their blocking unit, particularly declining RT Flozell Adams (71), and the Packers have been getting production from NT B.J. Raji (90) and DE Cullen Jenkins (77) in all areas. Raji even had a pick for a touchdown against the Bears. If Pittsburgh (14-4) isn’t effective with the run early on, it will keep trying. But there are excellent options in the passing game, which will need to deal with a fair share of blitzing. QB Ben Roethlisberger (7) has won two Super Bowls in his seven pro seasons. Despite a four -game suspension at the outset of this season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, he guided the Steelers to the NFC North title, a first-round bye, then to a comeback victory over divisional rival Baltimore in the play-
offs. Roethlisberger hurt the Jets more with his feet than his arm, yet the Packers are very aware how dangerous he can be as a passer. His targets, from longtime team leader Hines Ward (86) to speedy Mike Wallace (17) to solid tight end Heath Miller (83) to rising wideouts Antonio Brown (84) and Emmanuel Sanders (88), are formidable. Wallace is the game-breaker and will see lots of Williams or Woodson in coverage. Ward might operate a lot in the slot, which could make him Shields’ responsibility. Roethlisberger has rising confidence in the youngsters, and Ward and Miller provide comfort zones for him. Two things the Packers must do if they get pressure on Roethlisberger: keep him from escaping for damaging scrambles, and bring him down when they get their hands on him. Both proved too difficult for the Jets.

Special teams
When the Packers have the ball
Steelers PK Shaun Suisham (6), who replaced veteran Jeff Reed in midseason, has been superb, making 16 of 18 field goals; Pittsburgh is a difficult place to kick. So is Lambeau Field, though, and Mason Crosby (2) has made 24 of 31, including a 56-yarder. Neither has kicked under the glaring spotlight of a Super Bowl. The rest of the Steelers’ special teams are adequate. Brown had one kickoff runback for a score during the season. P Jeremy Kapinos (13) doesn’t always get great coverage accompanying his kicks. First-year punter Tim Masthay (8) for Green Bay has been efficient if not spectacular. He had an excellent NFC title game, keeping the ball away from All-Pro returner Devin Hester. Green Bay gave up more yards than it gained per punt and kickoff this season.
Until RB James Starks (44) emerged in the playoffs, the Packers had virtually no running game. Starks, Brandon Jackson (32) and John Kuhn (30) aren’t likely to get far against the league’s top-rated run defense, but the Packers certainly should try to find a ground game. Green Bay’s offensive line doesn’t get deserved credit. Anchored by RG Josh Sitton (71) and C Scott Wells (63), it’s far more suited for pass protection, but has opened enough holes for Starks to break out, and for the other running backs to contribute. They haven’t faced a defense like this in the playof fs, though, and Pittsburgh will try to set an early, physical — some say over-the-top dirty — tone with LBs James Harrison (92), LaMarr Woodley (56) and James Farrior (51), AllPro S Troy Polamalu (43), and DE Brett Keisel (99). The Steelers will send defenders from everywhere at QB Aaron Rodgers (12); CB Ike Taylor (24) made a huge hit on Mark Sanchez that caused a fumble leading to the winning points in the AFC title game. Rodgers has been spectacular for more than a month now after a strong regular season, and he uses his legs nearly as

well as Roethlisberger — not as powerful, but quicker. Without question, though, Green Bay will need to pass successfully to win its first Super Bowl since the 1996 season. The Packers like to empty their backfield, a dangerous gambit against Pittsburgh’s front seven and blitzers. But they can get some good matchups in those situations, whether it’s WRs Greg Jennings (85) on T aylor or Donald Driver on Bryant McFadden (20). Driver excels over the middle, but that’s where Polamalu and Ryan Clark (25) lurk, and there aren’t two more punishing safeties around. Rodgers has gotten a lot of mileage out of James Jones (89) and Jordy Nelson (87) and both will have key roles at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. If Rodgers can spread the ball around and keep the Steelers’ pass rush off-balance, Green Bay has an excellent chance.

ter motivator who also gives his coordinators — Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau on defense, Bruce Arians on offense — lots of say. Tomlin needed to guide the Steelers through some early difficulties and did so masterfully. Roethlisberger’s four-game suspension could have put the team in a deep hole. Instead, with a trio of replacements at quarterback, Pittsburgh started 3-1. The Steelers lost key defensive end Aaron Smith (91) for a big chunk of the season. In 2009, that sent them into a spiral. Not this time. Tomlin also got the team back on track in the divisional playoff game against Baltimore after it fell behind 21-7 at halftime. Mike McCarthy might have had an even tougher chore because the Packers placed 15 players on injured reserve this season, an absurd number. That included starting RB R yan Grant, playmaking TE Jermichael Finley and LB Nick Barnett. Thanks to the depth the Pack built at so many positions, though, they not only survived, but prospered. Still, McCarthy and his staff, particularly defensive coordinator Dom Capers, deserve tremendous credit for rapidly developing backups and having faith in them. McCarthy also has a strong relationship with Rodgers that has been critical in the QB’s development since the Brett Favre purge in 2008.

STATE/OBITUARIES
Roswell Daily Record
NM medical marijuana program will continue for now SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico’s medical marijuana program will continue for now, although the state’s new governor has made it clear she does not support the law that allows people with certain medical conditions to use the drug. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, who took office Jan. 1, said during her campaign the state law puts state employees in the position of violating federal law and she’d like it repealed. But she’s also said New Mexico has pressing budget issues, so repeal is not a priority in the 2011 legislative session. Martinez’s nominee for health secretary, Dr. Catherine Torres, would say only that the program “continues to function according to current state law.” The Department of
OBITUARIES
Health oversees it. The law’s sponsor, Democratic Sen. Gerry Ortiz y Pino of Albuquerque, said he hopes the new administration won’t push for its repeal in the future, either. “It may be after she’s been in office a while, she looks at the program and decides to just leave it alone,” said Ortiz y Pino, who doesn’t believe repeal would go anywhere without the governor actively pushing it. Republican Rep. Bill Rehm of Albuquerque would like to see the law rolled back. But Rehm said while there’s a chance the House would vote for repeal, he doesn’t believe the Senate would. “It’s not a fight I’m going to take on this year,” he said. Rehm voted against the state’s medical marijuana law because he believes

Besides, he said, “it’s such a crude method of getting the drug by smoking, and we already know that smoking’s bad.” New Mexico’s medical cannabis law went into effect July 1, 2007. ThenHealth Secretary Alfredo Vigil described it as “carefully crafted to make it a conservative, medical program” that would not lead to de facto legalization. But that’s the worry of Rehm and other lawmakers who believe the program has been opened up to too many medical conditions. Only patients with conditions approved by the health secretary can legally use medical marijuana. New Mexico started out with seven approved conditions, including cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclero-
sis, epilepsy and HIVAIDS. Now there are 16, plus some people in hospice care can qualify. Vigil rejected recommendations from the program’s Medical Advisory Board to add seven others in 2009 and 2010. New Mexico doctors do not prescribe medical marijuana, but rather certify that patients have one of the approved conditions and that standard treatment doesn’t work for them. Patients then apply to the state, and if approved, receive a registry ID card and information on how to contact nonprofit growers licensed to supply marijuana. Senate Republican Leader Stuart Ingle of Portales said he voted for the program as a way to help terminally ill people deal with pain. He knew dying

well, he retired with Connie to Roswell to enjoy its slower pace and favorable climate. After losing Connie in 1993, he re-embraced film darkroom work, explored digital photography and woodworking and was a docent at the Roswell Museum and Art Center. During his life he took more than 10,000 slides and prints, capturing memorable images of friends and family and life’s beauty and frailty. In 1997, through involvement in Armchair Travelers, Buster met Charlotte King, of Roswell. They fell in love and married in 1998. The next decade of their life together brought much mutual enjoyment, including world travel; they lived life to its fullest with family and friends. In 2009, they moved to Albuquerque to be closer to their families. Charles Seacord’s death leaves a void in the lives of family and friends who experienced his discerning and kind nature.

Funeral services for Marian Byrom, 76, of Roswell, will be held 1 p.m., Monday, Feb. 7, 2011, at Anderson Bethany Funeral Home and Crematory with Vista Care Chaplain Garth Hyde officiating.

She moved to Roswell in 1983, and worked as a nurses aide. She was a very good natured person, and she found the good in everyone. She loved children, no matter whose they were. Throughout her life, along her many travels, she loved to take pictures of animals no matter what type. She was a loving wife, mother, and friend who will be missed dearly. She was a good woman and a member of the Eastern Star for many years. Those left behind to cherish her memory are her husband of 58 years, Dale Byrom; son, Kelly Byrom, of Weed; daughter, Kasey Pfeil, and husband, Scott, of Denver; sister, Florence Collins, and husband, Eugene, of Carson City, Nev.; and numerous nieces
Charles “Buster” Seacord, 89, died at home in Albuquerque on Jan. 30, 2011, surrounded by his loved ones. He was cherished by family, friends and colleagues for his inquisitive mind, gentle manner and wry sense of humor. An aeronautical engineer by trade, Buster was an equally avid photographer by avocation. Born Charles Lynn Seacord Jr. in Memphis, Tenn., he was the single child of L ynn and Margaret Seacord. After a childhood spent absorbed in model airplanes and an education at Georgia Tech, he became a bonafide ‘rocket scientist’. He worked during World War II at Langley Field, Hampton, Va., for NACAthe precursor to NASA. There, on the beach at Wallops Island, he and other young colleagues designed and tested experimental rockets. In Hampton, he met and married NACA colleague Connie Denton. In 1949, they moved to Ft Worth, Texas, where, at Convair, he played an instrumental role in autopilot design of the Air Force’s first supersonic bomber, the B-58. They had two children, Leigh, a painter/university professor, and L ynn, who has been in the information technology business for 30 years. In 1960, Buster joined Minneapolis Honeywell's Avionics Division, through which, in 1965, he and family moved to Linkoping, Sweden, where he directed the implementation of a flight control system for a first-of-its-kind very short take-of f and landingSwedish military aircraft, Viggen. Buster and family lived and worked in Sweden and Germany between 1965-1970. After 30 years at Honey-
patients who said they were helped by marijuana — then obtained illegally, he said. “That’s the way the program was sold,” Ingle said. But he and Roswell Republican Sen. Rod Adair, who also voted for the program, are troubled by its growing number of patients, which Adair said is many times the estimate legislators were given when they passed the law. As of Jan. 27, New Mexico had 3,198 active medical cannabis patients, with nearly a third of them using it for post-traumatic stress. Some 440 people were using it for cancer. A provision for adding new medical conditions to the program “was never intended to be liberally interpreted,” said Ingle, who believes Vigil approved too many. Adair worries “we are
not stringently restricting the recipients to those who are suf fering the acute pain, the insoluble pain and end-of-life pain for which the program is intended.” Vigil had said he approved conditions based on recommendations from the advisory board and scientific findings that those particular problems could be helped by medical cannabis. Ortiz y Pino believes Vigil and his staf f were cautious about opening up the program. Vigil refused, for example, to add depression as an approved condition. “It’s so tightly regulated you’re not going to see here the abuses that some other states might have seen,” Ortiz y Pino said.

Martha Emerick (Marty)
A private family service will be held at a later date for Martha Emerick (Marty), 53, who finished her long valiant battle with cancer and passed peacefully at home, with her family by her side, on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. Marty was born in Truth or Consequences on April 12, 1957, the fourth child of Nathan W. Emerick and Bettie Jean Messer. She was a bartender by trade, but most recently was employed as head cashier for Roswell’s Home Depot store, where she was always energetic, kind and friendly, becoming known to and well liked by the building contractors and the do-it yourself patrons alike. She was a most caring, giving person, always ready and willing to assist someone she could see was in need, short term or long ter m. She loved wholeheartedly and tried never to disappoint her family or her fellow humans. Marty loved country music, to sing, dance or just enjoy listening to it. She was an excellent cook,
enjoyed gardening and any outdoor activities, as well as her Boston terrier, Beau. She is survived by her fiancé, the love of her life, Robin L. Freiburg; her mother and stepfather, Bettie Jean and Gene Graves, of Truth or Consequences; her son, Kerry L. Wood; her daughters, Catrina Weather ford and Candice L.

Box Office Preview: ‘Roommate’ vs. the Super Bowl
LOS ANGELES (AP) — This is one of the toughest weekends for the movie industry, with the Super Bowl stealing Sunday audiences and blocking them from packing the multiplex. It’s not uncommon to see a 60 percent drop from Saturday to Sunday. An exception was Super Bowl weekend last year, when Sony effectively capitalized on the counter-programming draw of the romantic drama “Dear John” and came up with a $30.5 million touchdown. Sony should land on top again this year with the dramatic thriller “The Roommate,” with a weekend in the $10 million to $12 million range. Although it won’t have the popularity of “Dear John,” this variation on “Single White Female” set in a college dor mitory of fers a viable alter native for women looking to escape the football madness at home. The rest of the top five is a veritable coin toss, with four films expected to land within $2 million of each
other. The most likely scenario has Paramount’s “No Strings Attached” grabbing second place with around $8 million and benefiting from being perhaps the only film in the top five to be truly “Super Bowl proof.” The R-rated romantic comedy held up extremely well in its second weekend and should do so again, given its strong female appeal. In the wake of 12 Oscar nominations and a SAG Award for best ensemble cast, Weinstein Co.’s “The King’s Speech” is gaining broad mainstream appeal as even younger audiences are now lining up to see the biopic.

Alianza of New Mexico enhances the quality of life for people and communities affected by HIV and AIDS through comprehensive services, support and preventive education
ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR
Knowledge is power. Know your status. Whether for a 30-something man with a history of anonymous, unprotected sex with both men and women who is now experiencing unexplained weight loss and stubborn mouth sores, or a teenage girl who shares needles with strangers to shoot drugs — or simply anyone who has ever had an unprotected one-night stand — knowing is crucial. Knowledge is power when it comes to the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, which breaks down the human immune system. Eventually, the immune system of an infected person cannot fight off infections or certain cancers. HIV is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. The virus is most commonly spread through unprotected sex with an infected person, sharing syringes or needles with an infected person, being deeply punctured by a needle or surgical instrument contaminated with the virus or getting HIV-infected fluids in open wounds or sores. At its most advancend stage, AIDS, ccording to the New Mexico Department of Health’s HIV & Hepatitis Epidemiology Program, as of December 2010, some 3,333 people diagnosed with HIV live in New Mexico — 2,909 of those are men, 424 are women. Luckily, Alianza of New Mexico, 311 W. Second St., exists to serve those in southeastern New Mexico living with HIV and AIDS. “We are, in short, an HIV/AIDS resource and referral center, directing those affected to the services and programs they need,” said Sashua Patton, Alianza’s interim executive director. Alianza’s mission is to serve the needs of those in the community living with or affected by HIV; to provide education and prevention regarding the disease and to nurture the physical and emotional well-being of those with critical health needs through compassionate programs and services. Serving a 10-county region including Chaves, Eddy, Lea, De Baca, Roosevelt, Curry, Quay, Harding and Lincoln, Alianza strives to provide comprehensive care and services to those diagnosed with HIV, Patton said. The care and services include medical case management, medical care, emotional support, support services, prevention education and HIV testing, counseling and referral services. “The biggest part of what we do is making sure we’re coordinating their care,” Patton said. She said that includes everything from helping clients get medical insurance, make appointments, to transportation to and from appointments in and out of town, medical test assistance, to travel and lodging reimbursement for out-of-town appointments, to prescription assistance and medication compliance. “It’s our goal to get clients to the place where the virus is undetectable (in their blood),” Patton said.

About Alianza of New Mexico Philosophy
Alianza of New Mexico strives to provide quality prevention educatoion and resource services based on the following assumptions: • The full potential of human life is supreme value. • All individuals possess intrinsic value. • Each person is an individual with strengths and weaknesses, each has physical and mental endowments similar to, and yet different from all other individuals. • Humans possess a unique heirarchy of needs as defined by Maslow: physiological, security, love and acceptanace, self-esteem and self actualization. • People make choices and decisions based on individual beliefs and values. • Individuals exert personal control over their lives in making such choices and decisions. • The health, welfare, dignity and worth of every person should be cherished, protected and preserved through community and social action.
Mission statement:
Alianza of New Mexico’s mission is to serve the needs of those in the community living with or affected by HIV; to provide education and prevention regarding the disease and to nurture the physical and emotional well-being of those with critical health needs through compassionate programs and services.
Alianza of New Mexico 311 W. Second St. 623-1995 Office hours are from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday
The general view of the disease has changed significantly since it first appeared three decades ago, she said. “The face of HIV has changed,” Patton said, noting that while there is still no cure or vaccine to prevent HIV infec-
~~~ tion, the introduction of anti-retroviral medications has improved the lives of those with the disease significantly. “It’s gone from a death sentence to a highlymanageable, chronic disease.” Another major function of Alianza is
its prevention program, headed by Will McLauchlin, prevention coordinator, who said while the public’s perception of HIV has changed, the myths and stigmas attached to HIV and AIDS are still prevalent. “That’s really what I battle the most is the myths and the stigmas,” McLauchlin said, adding he once had several cage fighters from Albuquerque come to Roswell for their mandatory tests because they were afraid to be seen in a local testing facility. However, McLauchlin said, information is out there and the myths and stigmas are slowly fading away. “It’s becoming easier,” he said. “People are becoming more receptive.” McLauchlin’s job includes educating people on safer sex practices — including distribution of free condoms and demonstrations of their correct use — and programs to school, church and community groups on prevention and harm reduction, which encompasses a local syringe-exchange program, in which 398,000 needles were exchanged in 2010. Anyone can come get their needles exchanged, he added, no questions asked — that number includes needles from local and out-of-town drug users, as well as diabetics and others on legal medications. The syringe exchange aspect of the harm reduction program is important, McLauchlin said, because it doesn’t seek to change behaviors in the same way that other programs do. “Harm reduction, to me, isn’t telling people what they can and can’t do, but to show them safer options,” such as always using a fresh needle rather than sharing a dirty one, McLauchlin said.

Romance should not be set aside just one day of year
Q: My son and daughter-in-law say they have no plans to celebrate Valentine’s Day because it just doesn’t interest them. They’ve been married less than a year, and I’d think they’d jump at the chance to celebrate a romantic holiday. Should I be worried? JIM: It depends on what they mean when they say Valentine’s Day does’t “interest” them. I know many deeply religious people who aren’t eager to celebrate Christmas, either, because of how materialistic it has become. The real measure of your son and daughter-in-law’s relationship comes in how they treat and relate to each other the other 364 days a year. The same should be true for all of us. There’s nothing inherently wrong with cards and chocolates on Valentine’s Day. I can think of worse things than having a day set aside to proclaim undying love for your spouse. But married couples should make an effort to inject that same passion into their relationship on a regular basis. That doesn’t mean we have to break out the fine china and have a candlelight dinner every night. But there are countless ways we can and should express our devotion. We can set aside a regular date night, or send a quick e-mail during the day to say, “I love you and I’m thinking about you.” I can guarantee that something along those lines will mean more in July or September than it does on Feb. 14! This is something that my wife, Jean, and I try to bear in mind even when we’re running at a frantic pace and

If your son and his wife are endeavoring to keep the spark alive throughout the year, that’s much more important than whether they participate in Valentine’s Day. ** ** ** Q: I dread Valentine’s Day. All of the hype about love and romance only reminds me that none of it exists in my marriage. I gave up hoping for a card or flowers years ago. I’m tired of trying to breathe life into a dead marriage, but I don’t believe in divorce. JULI: Marriage can feel like the loneliest place on Earth, especially around Valentine’s Day. When you’re single, you expect to be lonely, but not when you have a ring on your finger. There are many reasons why love in marriage fades. Serious problems like addiction, abuse, extramarital affairs and mental illness can certainly extinguish feelings of romance. However, most people “fall out of love” for less sinister reasons.

Training, not nature, makes a dog a bully
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The majority of American pet owners believe a welltrained dog is safe — even if it comes from one of the “bully breeds.” Some dog breeds, such as pit bulls or Rottweilers, are considered truly dangerous by 28 percent of American pet owners, but an Associated Press-Petside.com poll found that 71 percent said any breed can be safe if the dogs are well trained. “It’s not the dog. It’s the owner that’s the problem,” said Michael Hansen, a 59year -old goldsmith from Port Orchard, Wash. “The dog will do whatever it can to please the owner, right down to killing another animal for you.” “If they are brought up in a loving household, they can flourish just like any other dog,” agreed Nancy L yman, 56, of Warwick, Mass. Sixty percent of pet owners feel that all dog breeds should be allowed in residential communities, while 38 percent believe some breeds should be banned, according to the poll conducted by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. Denver and Miami-Dade County in Florida have pit bull bans that go back decades. The Ar my and Marine Corps have put base housing off limits to the dogs in the last few years. Of the pet owners in the poll who support breed bans, 85 percent would bar pit bulls. Other breeds considered too dangerous were Rottweilers, Dobermans, Ger man shepherds and chow chows. Seven percent said any violent, vicious or fighting dog should be banned and 2 percent said all large dogs should be outlawed. Asked specifically about pit bulls, 53 percent of those polled said they were safe for residential neighborhoods, but 43 percent

said they were too dangerous. Age played a major role in the pit bull questions — 76 percent of those under age 30 said pit bulls were safe, compared with just 37 percent of seniors. Janice Dudley, 81, of Culver City, Calif., was taking out her garbage when she was charged by a pit bull whose owner had been walking him in her neighborhood for years. “He came within a few inches of my leg. It was shocking. There was nothing I could do. The owner controlled the dog and they went on their way but it was really very frightening,” she said. She goes to great lengths to avoid the man and dog now, she said. “That was as close as I’ve ever come and as close as I ever want to be.” Dudley would stop short of imposing a widespread breed ban, but she believes pit bulls are too dangerous.
“I think it is in their nature to be more vicious than other dogs,” she said. She blames breeders for the dangerous behavior of the animals and believes the dogs are genetically at risk. “People I know who have had them maintain they are the sweetest things in the world. I don’t believe it,” she said. Older pet owners were more apt to support a breed ban than younger ones — 56 percent of seniors believe some dogs should be outlawed compared with just 22 percent of those under age 30. Parents who own pets were no more or less likely than non-parents to say certain breeds should be banned. But Tiffany Everhart, 40, of Splendora, Texas, would not have a pit bull. “I have a small child and I’m not going to take that chance.” A paralegal, she also believes some dogs are too dangerous for residential
areas and she would support a breed ban. “Every dog is different and should be evaluated on its own merits,” said “Dog Whisperer” Cesar Millan. “If a pit bull has good energy, and if he is socialized early and brought up in a balanced and structured pack environment, then I would consider him perfectly safe for a family with children,” Millan said. L yman, who has a 17year -old, blind, deaf and crippled Shih Tzu, said any dog will bite if provoked — citing Martha Stewart’s recent run-in with her own dog. Hansen blames the pit bull’s bad reputation on owners and the press. “You have a tendency to sensationalize stories or put into them right down to the blood and gore when it isn’t really necessary,” said Hansen, who has two dogs, 9-year-old Lab-collie brothers named Chaz and Zach.
and finances cause a couple to drift apart over the years. One day they wake up to find the only thing they have in common is a tube of toothpaste. If this is where you and your husband find yourselves, don’t give up. There are many things you can do to get your marriage back on track, but sitting back and waiting for flowers isn’t one of them! Marriage counseling is an excellent way to improve your communication and resolve conflicts, but you also need to relearn how to have fun together. Tell your husband how much you miss him. When you do this, be sure to make it sound like an invitation, not a complaint. Reminisce about what caused you to fall in love with him in the first place and tell him what still attracts you to him. Regardless of how busy you are, make time to play together. This might feel awkward at first, but it will become more comfortable with time. Pursue a new hobby like hiking, cooking classes or volunteering. Don’t fall for the line that the grass would be greener in another marriage. Every marriage has dry spells. The grass is actually greener where you water it! ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

GM considers adding dealerships in coastal states
A top executive says General Motors may add dealers in big metro areas on the U.S. coasts to handle expected sales growth. North American President Mark Reuss (Royce) says GM has been losing dealers on the coasts for 20 years due to slow sales and poor products. But he says new models like the Chevrolet Cruze compact are selling well in California and other coastal states. GM expects sales to rise further as it repairs its reputation and the economy recovers.

SUNDAY BUSINESS
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the American government has a responsibility to make the U.S. the best place in the world to do business, but companies have a responsibility to invest in the nation’s future by keeping jobs here, hiring workers and paying decent wages. Obama devoted his weekly radio and Internet message Saturday to ideas from his State of the Union address, specifically a plan to put the U.S. on a more competitive footing globally by spending on innovation, education and public works. “In today’s global, com-
petitive economy, the best jobs and newest industries will take root in countries with the most skilled workers, the strongest commitment to research and technology and the fastest ways to move people, goods and information,” the president said, previewing his speech Monday to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Obama mentioned his visit this past week to Penn State University, where researchers are designing more energy-efficient buildings. He also spoke about next Thursday’s trip to Marquette, Mich., a place the White House says illustrates how increased Internet access can help busi-
nesses grow. Obama has called for expanding highspeed, wireless Inter net access to 98 percent of Americans within five years. He talked about federal tax credits and financing programs that are helping companies boost their bottom lines and hire workers. Obama said that government has a responsibility to support businesses but that businesses have responsibilities, too. “They should set up shop here and hire our workers and pay decent wages and invest in the future of this nation,” he said. “That’s their obligation.” Obama, who has been
working overtime to overcome perceptions that he is anti-business, said his message to the Chamber of Commerce will be that everyone will benefit if government and businesses work together. “Our workers will succeed. Our nation will prosper. And America will win the future in this century just like we did in the last,” he said. Republicans spoke about the economy and jobs, too, but Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas used his party’s weekly address to chide Obama for proposing to Washington's extend “spending binge” at a time of growing budget deficits.

Military boosts Gulf seafood sales
Sales of Gulf of Mexico seafood are getting a boost from the military after being hammered by last year’s BP oil spill, which left consumers fearing the water’s bounty had been tainted. products Ten including fish, shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, and packaged Cajun dishes such as jambalaya and shrimp etouffee are being promoted at 72 base commissaries along the East Coast, said Milt Ackerman, president of Military Solutions Inc., which is supplying seafood to the businesses.

Not a faceless crime any longer
Michael Dobrushin is led in handcuffs from FBI headquarters in New York, Oct. 13.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Health care fraud once was a faceless crime. Now it has a mug shot, even a smile. Medicare and Medicaid scams cost taxpayers more than $60 billion a year, but bank holdups are more likely to get greater attention. The government wants the public's help in trying to catch more than 170 fugitives wanted for fraud, so it's developed a new health care most-wanted list, with its own website — http://www.oig.hhs.gov. Most are dour; some sport smiles. One name on the list is Leonard Nwafor, convicted in Los Angeles of billing Medicare more than $1 million for motorized wheelchairs that people didn’t need. One person who got a wheelchair was a blind man who later testified he couldn’t see to operate it. Facing time in federal prison, Nwafor disappeared before his sentencing. “We’re looking for new ways to press the issue of catching fugitives,” said Gerald Roy, deputy inspector general for investigations at the Health and Human Services Department. “If someone walks into a bank and steals $3,000 or $4,000, it would be all over the newspaper. These people manage to do it from a
less high profile position, but they still have a tremendous impact.” Even though motorized wheelchairs can cost up to $7,000 apiece, Nawfor’s scam was on the low end when compared with others who made the most-wanted list. Sisters Clara and Caridad Guilarte allegedly submitted $9 million to Medicare in false and fraudulent claims for pricey infusion drugs that were never provided to patients. They are accused of offering cash and other rewards for beneficiaries to visit their clinic in Dearborn, Mich., and sign forms that said they received services that they never got. An alleged accomplice was arrested in the Dominican Republic recently, but the sisters remain at large. Scammers “often utilize their ties to a particular community,” said Roy. “They take advantage of ethnic communities based on language barriers or lack of knowledge about how the Medicare system works. These folks are exploiting lowincome communities.” Fugitive Susan Bendigo is accused of billing California’s Medicaid program for $17 million in nursing care, much of which was performed by staffers who weren’t licensed. A registered nurse, Bendigo was the nursing director for a company that provided personnel for home health agencies. Allegedly, she was fully aware that she was

required to send licensed nurses to care for patients. Topping the list are Miami brothers Carlos, Luis and Jose Benitez. Owners of a string of medical clinics, they allegedly scammed Medicare out of $119 million by billing for costly HIV drugs that patients never received or did not need. Authorities say they bought hotels, helicopters and boats before fleeing to Cuba. The FBI has the marquee mostwanted list, but the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies also maintain their own. Roy said he hopes this newest list will raise awareness about the importance of combatting health care fraud. Medicare and Medicaid, which provide care for about 100 million people in the U.S., are in serious financial trouble and can’t afford to be hemorrhaging tens of billions a year because of fraud. Most people go to elaborate lengths to avoid having their scams detected. But there often is a telltale sign. To document his transactions, wheelchair purveyor Nwafor assembled elaborate paper files, complete with bogus prescriptions and photos of beneficiaries in their wheelchairs. But investigators had a hunch they were on to something when they discovered that most of his customers lived nearly 200 miles away from his Los Angelesarea store.
Congressional budget experts recently projected that the difference between federal spending and revenues will surge to a record $1.5 trillion for the budget year that ends Sept. 30. Hensarling called for spending cuts and spending reform. “You know, my questions for the president are these: Mr. President, how does spending us down the road to national bankruptcy help us ‘win the future’? And Mr. President, how does borrowing even more money from the Chinese make us more competitive?” he said.
PSMI expands
PrimeSource Mortgage, Inc. is proud to announce that it has gained a license to do business in Colorado on Dec. 29. PSMI is now licensed in 15 states. The addition of Colorado to the PSMI list of licensed states allows it to continue growth across the nation. PSMI has approved the expansion of an already existing office in the PrimeSource network to open a new office in the Colorado market. Plans to open that office in the Denver area will begin immediately following the new year. “I am pleased the company continues to grow, and more importantly with such quality individuals,” Jeffrey R. Smith, president and CEO of PSM Holdings, Inc. said. “The addition of Colorado opens up some very good markets to the company and enhances our overall growth plan.” PSMI also held their 19th annual conference in Albuquerque, Jan. 20-22. The conference was deemed a success by all who attended, and a larger mission was recognized. Smith challenged everyone in attendence to “look outward and not just inward.” Through this challenge, PSMI is proud to announce that via the generous donations from the employeeowners, vendors and guest they have raised enough money to drill two water wells in Mozambique, a country in southeastern Africa, changing several hundred children’s lives forever. Missionary Sean Mullin states, “We are so blessed to have PrimeSource Mortgage as a company, contribute to this program, and we trust that as a ministry, we will be able to provide water in many villages.” As PSMI continues to expand their reach to help people obtain homeownership across the country, each team member is reminded of how fortunate we are to have the everyday conveniences of life that we take for granted.
Peachtree: Feb. is a month to focus on the heart for seniors Peachtree Village offers health tips
February is American Heart Month, and there is no time like the present to get seniors involved in making heart healthy choices. It’s no secret that cardiovascular disease is a leading threat for seniors, but there are lifestyle choices that can be made, like healthy exercise and a good diet, that can help prevent premature death and improve the quality of life. At Peachtree Village, good food and encouragement to exercise are part of daily life, and residents at the community recognize the difference it can make. “Our residents find that eating a healthier diet and participating in exercise programs truly does
make them feel better,” Fredda Sanders, marketing director at Peachtree, said. The staff at Peachtree Village would like to share some tips for heart healthy lifestyle choices for seniors that are successfully adapted by many of their residents.
Exercise
Daily exercise will help keep your heart healthy. The American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity per day. Choose yoga, bicycling, dancing, walking or swimming to get the heart pumping and improve heart health.
Watch your weight
One of the easiest ways to maintain a healthy weight is to control the size of your portions. Don’t eat more than two to three ounces of meat per meal and a half cup of pasta or other starch.
Add fiber every day
A high-fiber diet will do double duty of filling you up and helping prevent inflammation of the arteries. Some of the healthiest sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts.
Eat the good fats
Eat less butter, full-fat dairy and fewer fatty meats and fried foods. Replace them with olive or canola oil, nuts and seeds, natural peanut butter, trans-fat-free margarine, fatty fish and avocados. Foods loaded with omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial to your cardiovascular system like salmon, sardines, halibut, olive oil and soybeans.
Lower your sodium
Cut back the sodium as much as you can stand it. It can elevate your blood pressure. It’s suggested to not take in more than 2,300
mg of sodium per day, which is the equivalent of about one teaspoon of salt.
Take time to smell the flowers
Time to rid yourself of stress since it takes its toll on the heart. Try taking several deep breaths and slowly exhaling a couple of times a day. And don’t forget to take time each day to take part in an activity you enjoy, be it a puzzle, cup of coffee with a friend, bird watching, reading or knitting a new scarf.
Don’t smoke, drink in moderation
You’ve been told most if not all your life that all forms of smoking are not good. Small amounts of alcohol can be beneficial to your heart by increasing good cholesterol the high-density lipoproteins. How small is small? One drink a day for women and two
for men.
Eat calcium-rich foods
Low-fat or fat-free dairy products are high in calcium and help keep your bones strong as you age.
Drink plenty of fluids
It's common to feel less thirsty as you get older, but your body still needs the same amount of water. As a result, many seniors are at risk for dehydration. Try to drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid.
Supplement with caution
Supplements, such as calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K and some B vitamins, may be helpful for some older adults. But certain vitamins can interact with medications, so make sure you talk with your doctor before you start any supplements. For more information, call 2080133 or www.peachtreeret.com.

DEAR ABBY: May I make a plea to all physicians? Please remove the magazines and children’s books from your waiting rooms! Again and again, I see patients sneezing and coughing over and around these materials without covering their mouths, and handling them with contaminated hands. The next patient who innocently touches one of those items puts him or herself at risk of infection. The same applies to children’s toys, if they are provided in waiting rooms. My advice to patients, and to parents of children with appointments, is to bring their own reading materials, iPads, laptops or needlework to pass the time waiting for their doctor’s appointment. Parents should bring a favorite toy for this purpose. Let’s all work together to keep our germs to ourselves. Thank you for getting the word out, Abby. EDYTHE IN TENNESSEE DEAR EDYTHE: That’s excellent advice, and something people rarely think of.

Recently, I picked up a full load of hardwood planks. Because some of the pieces were very long, I had to keep the tailgate of my pickup truck down. All went well until I reached the first stop sign. When I started to pull away, my truck went forward, but the load stayed put! Halfway across the busy intersection with traffic going all directions, I panicked. I knew I couldn’t lift those 46 planks by myself. Out of nowhere, two gentlemen rushed through the traffic, and without a word, began loading the planks, two at a time, into my truck. When they were all loaded, I offered each young man my heartfelt thanks. My proffered reward

Google removes the muzzle on Twitter in Egypt
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Even before his first day on the job at Google, Ujjwal Singh was trying to figure out how to use his passion for the spoken word and the company’s technological prowess to help Egyptians bypass government efforts to muzzle the massive protests there. Singh, 38, helped start an online service that lets fans share voice messages with the likes of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Google bought the startup Jan. 25, and a Google product team leader trying to figure out a way around Egypt’s recent Inter net blackout asked Singh for help before he reported to work. A weekend of brainstorming and programming later, Speak2Tweet was born — a service that lets people call a phone number and leave a message, then posts a link to the message to Twitter. It allowed Egyptians to communicate even as the regime of President Hosni Mubarak cut Internet and cell phone services for days, trying to squelch furious protests in the streets of Cairo demanding an end to his three decades of authoritarian rule. By the time Singh started his job Monday, his service was already part of the uprising. “He designed, built and launched his first product before he started at Google, which is now our all-time record,” says Steve Crossan, a Google product manager who has been working at the Inter net search leader for five years. Almost 2,900 spoken tweets had been posted as of Friday afternoon on the Twitter account (at)speak2tweet. Some of the heaviest volume came after access to both Twitter and the Internet was restored in Egypt earlier this week. The alternative method of tweeting has turned into a forum for longer -for m expression because the voice recordings aren't confined to Twitter's 140-character limit.
NEW YORK (AP) — Robin Davidson doesn't know Rep. Gabrielle Giffords personally, but as a wife herself, she knows one thing in her heart: The congresswoman wouldn’t want her astronaut husband’s professional dreams to become yet another casualty of the horrific Tucson shooting that nearly killed her. And so, as Giffords recovers, Mark Kelly should head to outer space in peace come April, said Davidson. “He needs to make this historic and honorable mission as part of their healing process,” she said. As a couple's dilemma, it’s almost unfathomable: If your spouse was recovering from a bullet wound to the brain, would you be able to leave the planet? Of course, nobody outside the couple’s inner circle knows to what extent the congresswoman herself has been able to contribute to Kelly’s decision to fly. Kelly didn’t answer that question directly in a news conference, saying only: “I know my wife very well and I know what she would want, so that makes the decision easier.” But many of those discussing the issue online, at work or at home Friday assumed Giffords had in some way been able to make her feelings clear. And even if she hadn’t, many said, they didn't think she was the kind of spouse who would want her loved one to give up a chance at a dream he might never have again. This will be the final mission for the shuttle Endeavor, and Kelly’s fourth space flight. “I know the level of training it takes to be an astronaut,” said Davidson, 40, who lives in Tomball, Texas, not far from Houston and NASA, and is

often separated from her husband of four years, Kevin, when he travels for his work on TV and film sets. “And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she would not want him to miss this opportunity. I can’t imagine it would help her recovery to have her husband have stayed home and missed his chance.” Tom Jozwiak, a policeman in Clermont, Fla., had not discussed the situation with his wife. However, he imagined she would support him, because, well, she's a cop’s wife. “She is always telling me to do what I need to do,” said Jozwiak, 55. And he assumed Giffords was doing the same: “I imagine she's giving him the green light.” But he was still uncomfortable with the astronaut's decision — for “superstitious reasons,” he said. “This shuttle mission has had delays,” he said. “I think I'd sit this one out. You don't want to test fate.” But his seemed the rarer opinion, at least so far. Like many interviewed, Jim Williams, who lives just north of Dallas, said he assumed Giffords’ wish, stated or unstated, was for her husband to fly. “From everything we have heard about her, that seems to be the kind of person she is — caring about the people around her,” said Williams, 50, a father of three who works in sales. “I imagine that if she had any way to indicate to him, ‘Go on,’ that she did.” Pondering what he'd do in a similar situation, Williams said the crucial issue would be the state of his spouse's recovery. “If it were in the first few days, you couldn't tear me away with a crowbar, and even then it wouldn't work,” he said. But with Giffords, he noted, indications from doctors have been that she is recovering unusually well. And Kelly, he supposed, would surely want his wife to do the same thing, were the tables reversed.
“Imagine she was a deciding voice in a crucial vote in Washington,” he said. “If I were her husband, I'd hate to think I was holding her back from something so life-changing.” Some people referred back to situations they’d faced in their own lives. Danie Pitre, a student in New Brunswick, Canada, is not married. But she recalled a conversation she’d had with a former boyfriend, after his mother suffered an aneurysm and nearly died. “She ended up having many months of rehab and she did suffer some brain damage and it was really hard on his family,” said Pitre, 23. “We both came to an understanding that life had to go on ... because it wouldn't help her anymore if he was distraught sitting by her bedside.” As for Giffords, she said, “I think part of her recovery is to continue being the wife that loves him and supports him in the things he loves doing, and that they will be stronger for it.” Some people, she added, “don’t need a physical presence to know that their loved ones are thinking about them and love them.” Support also came from another Tucson shooting victim. “I'm sure he knows her better than anyone on the planet, and that she knows him better than anyone on the planet,” said Susan Hileman, who was holding 9year -old Christina Green’s hand when the carnage began, “and if he’s comfortable leaving the planet for space, I’m sure he’s considered what she would want him to do.” Christina died, and Hileman, who was shot three times herself, is recovering in her Tucson home. She met Kelly at University Medical Center when she was being treated there. “He seemed like a man who thought before he acted,” she said. “I’m sure this decision was carefully made and thoughtfully made, and right for him and for them.”

Perry: ‘Smurfette’ role no leap from reality MEXICO CITY (AP) — Maybe it’s her tutti-frutti sense of fashion. For whatever reason, Katy Perry says she felt like a natural doing the voice of “Smurfette” in the upcoming movie about the blue creatures. That’s because she feels like a cartoon character in real life. “The Smurfs movie was really fun for me cause a lot of times, you know, 360 days out of the year I feel like a cartoon. So I thought playing a cartoon was a natural thing to do,” the singer said Saturday at the launch of her new perfume, “Purr,” in Mexico City. “With ‘The Smurfs’ I get to walk into the studio and I can be in my pajamas and I make a really cute little voice, which is kind of a mixture of my voice and a little voice,” she said. The Grammy-nominated pop star will also take on a more grown-up acting role as a guest star on an episode of the CBS comedy hit “How I Met Your Mother.” Perry said she was excited about performing at the Feb. 13 Grammy Awards, where she has been nominated for four awards, including album of the year for “Teenage Dream.” “It’s going to be an amazing performance. I don’t want to get too much into it but it’s going to be a medley of ‘Teenage Dream,’” she said. “But there’s going to be a lot of surprises here and there.”

said. Perry said she might come to Mexico in August as part of her world tour and might even try a

Amanda Knox lawyers seek to stop Lifetime film ROME (AP) — Lawyers for U.S. student Amanda Knox and her exboyfriend, who were found guilty of killing Knox’s British roommate in Italy, have for mally demanded that U.S. television channel Lifetime scrap a planned film about their trial. Attorneys Carlo Dalla Vedova and Luca Maori said Saturday they had sent letters to Lifetime warning they would go to U.S. court to try to sequester the film if it isn’t canceled and a trailer removed from Lifetime’s website. “Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy,” which features “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere in the title role, is due to air Feb. 21. Les Eisner, a spokesman for Lifetime’s parent company, A&E Television Networks, said the network was not commenting at this time. Knox and ex-boyfriend Raf faele Sollecito were convicted in 2009 of sexually assaulting and murdering Meredith Kercher

in the apartment she shared with Knox in the central Italian city of Perugia. Kercher was stabbed to death the night of Nov. 1, 2007.
Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison; Sollecito 25 years. Both deny wrongdoing and their appeals trial is under way.
Nice pass
The film is based on the trial. A preview posted to Lifetime’s website shows scenes from the run-up to the murder — including one split-second scene
showing the actress playing Kercher, wearing a gray bra, being attacked by two men. In its 2009 ruling, the Perugia court said that on
Lohan’s attorney denies actress stole necklace
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan’s attorney said Saturday that her client did not steal a $2,500 necklace and would fight any charges if they are filed. The statement from attorney Shawn Chapman Holley was the first official word from the actress’ camp since police revealed they were investigating the troubled starlet for grand theft. “We vehemently deny these allegations and, if charges are filed, we will fight them in court, not in the press,” Holley said. Kamofie & Co., a Venice custom jewelry store, reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22, roughly three weeks after the actress was released from three months of court-ordered rehab at the Betty Ford Center. Police obtained a search warrant Tuesday to try to retrieve the necklace from Lohan’s house, but the item was turned in to detectives before the warrant could be executed. If she is charged, the case would be the latest problem for the actress, who has

the night of the murder Knox and Sollecito were at the house with a fourth person, Rudy Her mann Guede, an Ivory Coast citizen who has also been convicted of murder in separate proceedings. The court said Knox and Sollecito assisted Guede’s sexual desire for Kercher, becoming her brutal assailants together with Guede and ultimately killing her when she resisted the advances. Already, the victim’s father, Jon Kercher, has harshly criticized the reenactment scenes as “absolutely horrific.” Knox’s attorney Della Vedova said Saturday he had sent a war ning Thursday to Lifetime to cancel the film and trailer, which on Saturday was not loading on the Lifetime website. Sollecito’s attor ney Maori said the war ning included a threat to go to court to sequester the film to ensure it wasn’t aired. He said it presented scenes that were “beyond any logic” and hyped up to attract viewers.
struggled to comply with the terms of her probation for a 2007 drunken driving case. Judges sent her to jail last year twice for violating her probation, and a judge has threatened to sentence her to up to six months in jail if she cannot stay out of trouble. Prosecutors in Riverside County were also considering pressing battery charges against Lohan for a December altercation with a rehab worker at the Betty Ford Center. The “Mean Girls” star was due in court on Feb. 25 for a probation status hearing. The treatment, her fifth rehab session, came after she admitted failing a drug test shortly after being granted early release from another treatment program. Lohan’s court struggles and treatment have taken a serious toll on the former Disney star’s career. Her role as porn star Linda Lovelace in a biopic was recast last year while Lohan was at Betty Ford and no replacement projects have been announced.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You know what to do, and you will do it. Unfortunately, the powers that be might not agree, implying a power struggle of some sort. The only way to win is not to play. Stress revolves around your schedule as well. Tonight: Head home. Stay peaceful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Keep conversations active and flowing. Don’t allow someone to seduce you into doing less than necessary. Express your ideas; represent who you are. An opinion about a situation could be changing, especially at the present moment. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be careful with funds. You easily could make a mistake that costs you not only in funds, but also that doesn’t allow you to do something that you have long desired. Be careful of pushing a group of associates too far. Tonight: Don’t overindulge.
