House GOP sends health care message
WASHINGTON (AP) — Eager to show who’s now in charge, the House’s new Republican majority plans to vote to repeal President Barack Obama’s landmark health care overhaul before he even shows up in their chamber to give his State of the Union address.
MYSTERIOUS BIRD DEATHS
THE VOICE OF THE PECOS VALLEY
Dramatic as that early showdown promises to be — the vote will be Jan. 12, Republicans said Monday — it will be just the first in a series of struggles expected to play out in the next few months. Obama returns Tuesday from his holiday vacation, fresh off lame-duck legislative victories late last year, and Republicans will be sworn
in Wednesday, primed to challenge him after gaining House control in last fall’s elections. Full repeal of the health care law is still a long shot. The House vote would be just the first, easiest step. But House Republicans vow they will follow up with dozens of attempts to hack away at what they derisively call “Obamacare.” The strategy is not riskfree for the Republicans, who won’t have a replacement plan of their own ready by the time of the repeal vote. But they say there’s no time to lose. Senate Democratic leaders are sending their own “you-don’t-scare-me” mes-
sage. In a letter Monday to House Speaker-to-be John Boehner, they served notice that they’ll block any repeal, arguing it would kill popular provisions such as improved prescription coverage for Medicare.
Beyond the early health care vote, emboldened Republicans are straining to challenge the president’s spending priorities, setting up likely conflicts over the budget and the country’s debt ceiling. Those votes will be early tests of how the president will maneuver with a divided Congress, as both he and Republicans look ahead to the next elections. Most likely, both parties

After a tight election race followed by petitions and recounts, Republican James Duffey was formally sworn in as a Chaves County Commissioner Monday morning. He had defeated his opponent by one vote, a District Court judge affirmed in early December. Duffey had previously told the Daily Record that he will only know if he is a commissioner when he is officially sworn in. “I’ll believe it now,” he said with a smile during the ceremony. “I look forward to working for the people of Chaves County,” he added.
The other four commissioners said they are eager to work alongside Duffey in the upcoming year.
“It was a long ordeal after the election,” Commissioner Chairman Greg Nibert said, “but we’re pleased to have James on board.”
Fellow Commissioner Kyle "Smiley" Wooton said Duffey’s “agricultural background and business savvy” will be a helpful addition to the board of commissioners.
Also sworn in at the same ceremony was Nibert, County Assessor Ron Lethgo and Chaves County Probate Judge Eric J. Coll.
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez used her first work day to reverse a decision by her Democratic predecessor and to propose expanding state law to require DNA samples from those arrested for any felony. The Republican governor, who took office on Saturday, followed through on a promise to stop a plan by former Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration to move a state DNA center to Santa Fe from Albuquerque. Some computer equipment was moved last week, but Martinez on Monday directed that be returned. She described the move as “politics at its worst” and said “it doesn’t make sense from a public safety standpoint.” The Richardson administration contended that it could save money having DNA samples processed by the state’s crime lab in Santa Fe. But that was disputed by Albuquerque Public Safety Director Darren White, who joined Martinez at the news conference at the city’s police crime lab. New Mexico has been paying the Albuquerque Police Department about $400,000 a year to process See MARTINEZ, Page A3
Troubled Pakistan faces Stocks start 2011 with a big lift ruling coalition collapse
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The collapse of Pakistan’s ruling coalition after a key party’s defection complicates efforts to tackle problems facing this nuclear-armed nation already grappling with widespread poverty and insurgent attacks. The renewed political turmoil bodes ill for military action against Muslim extremists that the U.S. believes is key to success in neighboring Afghanistan, analysts said. Pakistan’s powerful army could use the lack of political consensus to avoid operations that clash with its perceived strategic interests. The crisis also all but guarantees that lawmakers will not make progress anytime soon on fixing Pakistan’s deep-seated problems in areas like education, health care and infrastructure that have contributed to economic decline and rising militancy. “There is no electricity, no gas, no jobs and they are fighting one another,” said Arif Fasiullah, 35, of the central city of Multan. “They do not pass any legislation. They just do dirty politics.” Pakistan, with a population of more than 180 million, faces chronic power outages that can last up to 16 hours per day in some areas during the scorching summer, and up to a third of its people lack access to clean drinking water. Average income per capita is less than $3,000, and the average adult has fewer than five years of schooling. The International Monetary Fund, which has provided Pakistan with billions of dollars in loans to keep its economy afloat, has demanded the country implement significant reforms, including deep cuts to its deficit. The assistance took on added importance after last year’s massive floods that affected some 20 million people. But the economic reforms, notably a revised general sales tax, are unpopular and have given the opposition and other parties a focus for their complaints. The second-largest partner in Pakistan’s governing coalition, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, said Sunday it See PAKISTAN, Page A3
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks started 2011 with a big lift on Monday, and that could be a promising sign for the rest of the year. Investors call it the “January barometer.” According to the Stock Trader’s Almanac, a gain in the Standard and Poor’s 500 stock index over the first five days of January has led to annual gains nearly 90 percent of the time. “All of the forecasts come out of Wall Street, and those expectations for the year give January a nice indicative effect of what the year will look like,” said Jeffery Hirsch, the editor of the Stock Trader’s Almanac. Signs that the economy is improving pushed stock indexes higher on the first trading day of the year. Manufacturing activity and construction spending both rose more than analysts were predicting.

NYC trash pickup resumes after blizzard
NEW YORK (AP) — City workers turned their attention to clearing mounting piles of garbage on Monday, while the head of the Sanitation Department defended its performance in the snowstorm that brought much of New York to a standstill. “From my point of view, they get an A+. From the public’s point of view, a C-,” Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty said of the workers, who use modified garbage trucks during storms to plow snow off the city’s streets. The city Department of Investigation has been looking into rumors that sanitation workers facing demotions may have encouraged a work slowdown during the storm, but Doherty said he saw no indication of that. More workers than usual were not at work for their scheduled shifts last Monday, the day after the storm, with many facing snow-related commuting problems themselves, but some managed to get to work later in the day, he said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said budget cuts that reduced the size of the Sanitation Department had not hampered snow removal, and there was no drop in the number of workers and pieces of equipment out on the streets. That was accomplished by reducing the number of managers and assigning sanitation police officers to drive plows, he said. Around the city, snow melted away from piles of trash that had not been picked up since the storm. About half the city’s trucks had given up plow duty and were instead picking up bags of garbage and Christmas trees. “A sea of black bags” is how Herb Dershowitz described it, standing alongside an increasingly rank pile of trash stacked outside a supermarket on Manhattan’s Ninth Avenue. The black glossy piles were almost as tall as the retired school teacher. Garbage collection won’t be caught up for another week, while recycling pickups likely won’t resume until the weekend, Doherty said. “I think it’s disgusting,” said Roberta Weiss, walking past another pile of trash near her home in Chelsea. “We live on a nice block in a nice neighborhood and it looks like a slum.”

Thousands of birds die, fall from sky
BEEBE, Ark. (AP) — New Year’s revelers in a small Arkansas town were enjoying midnight fireworks when they noticed something other than sparks falling from the sky: thousands of dead blackbirds. The red-winged blackbirds rained out of the darkness onto rooftops and sidewalks and into fields. One struck a woman walking her dog. Another hit a police cruiser. Birds were “littering the streets, the yards, the driveways, everywhere,” said Robby King, a county wildlife officer in Beebe, a community of 5,000 northeast of Little Rock. “It was hard to drive down the street in some places without running over them.” In all, more than 3,000 birds tumbled to the ground. Scientists said Monday that fireworks appeared to have frightened the birds into such a frenzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other. Some may have flown straight into the ground. “The blackbirds were flying at rooftop level instead of treetop level” to avoid explosions above, said Karen Rowe, an ornithologist with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. ”Blackbirds have poor eyesight, and they started colliding with things.“ But Rowe stopped short of declaring the mystery solved, saying labs planned to test bird carcasses for toxins or disease. Another theory was that violent thunderstorms might have disoriented the flock or even just one bird that could have led the group in a fatal plunge to the ground. A few stunned birds survived their fall and stumbled around like drunken revelers. There was little light across the countryside at the time, save for the glimmer of fireworks and some lightning on the horizon. In the tumult, many birds probably lost their bearings.

“I turn and look across my yard, and there’s all these lumps,” said Shane Roberts, who thought hail was falling until he saw a dazed blackbird beneath his truck. His 16-year-old daughter, Alex, spent Saturday mor ning picking them up. “Their legs are really squishy,” she said. For some people, the scene unfolding shortly before midnight evoked images of the apocalypse and cut short New Year’s celebrations. Many families phoned police instead of popping champagne. “I think the switchboard lit up pretty good,” said Beebe police Capt. Eddie Cullum. “For all the doomsdayers, that was definitely the end of the world.” Paul Duke filled three five-gallon buckets with dead birds on New Year’s Day. “They were on the roof of the house, in the yard, on the sidewalks, in the street,” said Duke, a suspension supervisor at a nearby school. A few dead birds still littered town streets Monday. The birds will not be

POTENTIAL TAX ADVANTAGE
by Connie DeNio of Roswell 622-7191 or 626-7948
Of the myriad advantages of home ownership, both financial and personal, one is the potentional tax advantage of using home equity as collateral for loans. Interest on home equity loans is deductible on your federal income tax, unlike automobile and personal loans and credit card debts. So, if in the future you need to finance an automobile purchase, for
instance, you can save by using your home equity rather than the car itself as collateral. While no on can predict what changes a future congress may devise in our laws, those involving the ownership of a primary residence in the past, has been the least likely to be eliminated, according to conventional wisdom.©

missed. Large roosts like the one at Beebe can have thousands of birds that leave ankle- to knee-deep piles of droppings in places. On Monday, a few live birds chirped and hopped from tree to tree behind the Roberts’ home. “The whole sky tur ns black every morning and every night,” Robert said. At Duke’s home, bird feeders stood empty. He fills them when bluebirds come in the summer but leaves them empty during blackbird season. “They’d eat 50 pounds of feed a day,” he said. “You couldn’t keep them full.” Red-winged blackbirds are the among North America’s most abundant birds, with somewhere between 100 million and 200 million nationwide, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, N.Y. Rowe put the number of dead in Beebe at “easily 3,000.” Thousands can roost in one tree. The Game and Fish Commission shipped carcasses to the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission Roswell Daily Record
and the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis. Researchers at the University of Georgia’s wildlife disease study group also asked for a set of birds. Test results could be back in a week. A few grackles and a couple of starlings were also among the dead. Those species roost with blackbirds, particularly in winter. “They died from massive trauma,” said Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens, citing a report from the state poultry lab where the birds were examined. The injuries were primarily in the breast tissue, with blood clotting and bleeding in the body cavities. Residents heard loud fireworks just before the birds started hitting the ground. “They started going crazy, flying into one another,” Stephens said. The birds apparently also hit homes, trees and other objects, and some could have been killed by flying hard into the ground. USPS No 471-200

US general: Deal with tribe in Taliban bastion
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The leaders of the largest tribe in a Taliban stronghold in southern Helmand province have pledged to halt insurgent attacks and expel foreign fighters from one of the most violent spots in the country, the senior U.S. Marine general in Afghanistan said Monday Marine Maj. Gen. Richard Mills, who commands coalition forces in the southwest, said the deal was struck between local elders in the Sangin district and Helmand Governor Gulabuddin Mangal with the consultation of coalition forces. The area has witnessed some of the heaviest fighting of the war. However it is unlikely that the violence will cease immediately in Sangin as the die-hard Taliban leadership under the command of Mullah Mohammad Omar, which is based in the Pakistani city of Quetta, will keep fighting. But the cooperation of the tribal leaders in the ef fort to rid the area of insurgents could help shorten the war in one of the most violent places in

into the 2012 campaign, when Obama is expected to seek a second term against a Republican challenger, and House and Senate control will be up for grabs again. “It’s not going to be easy; it’s going to be a long, hard slog,” said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, an early leader in the health care repeal drive. The quick thumbs-down vote by the House will have “tremendous utility and value,” King said, but it may take electing a Republican president in Obama’s place to accomplish the overall goal. All the while, the Obama administration intends to keep putting into place the law’s framework for covering more than 30 million uninsured people. Ultimately, Obama still has his veto pen, and Republicans aren’t anywhere close to the two-thirds majorities they would need to override “Repeal and replace” worked as a campaign slogan to motivate voters concer ned about the growing reach of government under Obama. But a single-minded focus on repeal could backfire as a Republican governing strategy. Polls show that some parts of the law are popular, and many Americans would have wanted even bigger changes. Look for Republicans to try to deny money for

offenders’ DNA samples and upload the information to a national database. However, the samples are sent to an independent lab for testing. Martinez and White oppose doing the DNA testing in the state’s Santa Fe lab, which also processes other crime scene evidence, because they said it increases the risk of cross-contamination of evidence. “It could compromise the integrity of the DNA sampling and make it more dif ficult to seek justice for the victims and to prosecute criminals,” said Martinez, a former district attorney in Las Cruces. The governor said she will ask the Legislature to broaden a DNA sampling requirement enacted in 2006. It’s called
Afghanistan. In the past four years, more than 100 British troops died in Sangin and more than a dozen Marine have lost their lives since their deployment in midOctober. Getting local tribal elders to renounce the Taliban and join the political process has been a key part of the U.S. counterinsurgency plan in Afghanistan. As part of the deal, Mills said “there was also a pledge from the elders that fighting would cease by insurgents against coalition forces and foreign fighters would be expelled from the area.” He added that “we are cautiously optimistic of this agreement and will monitor whether it leads to reduced insurgent influence and a rejection of illicit activity.” With the nearly decadeold war growing increasing unpopular in the United States and in many NATO capitals, success on the battlefield is an important part of President Barack Obama’s plan to begin a gradual withdrawal of American forces in July 2011, and eventually hand the government to carry out the law. They’ll also attempt to strip out sections of it, such as a new long-term care program. And they’ll move to strengthen restrictions on funding for abortions. It’s far from clear that they’ll be able to prevail in those efforts either. There’s talk that an effort to deny funding could escalate to the point of a possible government shutdown, and no one seems eager for that. “I don’t think the health issues will cause anything dire in the way of a government shutdown,” said economist Robert Reischauer, president of the Urban Institute think tank. “There are other things on the agenda besides health care, namely broader budget issues that have to be dealt with.” The two parties may be able to get a deal on some limited fixes, like repealing an income tax reporting requirement that small business is calling a paperwork nightmare. At the White House, spokesman Reid Cherlin said Obama would have no qualms about delivering his State of the Union speech to lawmakers who’ve just repudiated his signature accomplishment, one that Democrats compare with the establishment of Social Security and Medicare. The president “feels pretty confident about defending the health care law,” Cherlin said. “Katie’s Law” in memory of Kathryn “Katie” Sepich, a New Mexico State University student who was raped and murdered in 2003. Her killer was identified 3 1/2 years later with DNA evidence after being convicted of another crime. Currently, DNA samples are required for those arrested of some felonies, such as murder, kidnapping, burglary and sex offenses. Sepich’s mother, Jayann, said New Mexico doesn’t require DNA tests in felony drug cases but other states have that requirement and it’s helped in solving rapes and murders. “We need to save lives. We need to prevent crimes and we can do that in New Mexico,” said Sepich. Martinez said she hoped to finish appointing her top agency administrators this week.

All 10 company groups that make up the S&P index rose. Financial companies led the way with a 2.3 percent jump. Treasury prices fell as the better economic news weakened demand for low-risk investments. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which rises as its price falls, moved up to 3.34 percent from 3.29 percent late Friday. Bank of America Corp. shot up 6.4 percent to $14.19 after the bank settled a dispute with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac over soured mortgage investments.

was joining the opposition because of fuel price hikes and the generally poor performance of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party. The government announced rises in gas and heating oil prices on New Year’s Eve that the MQM called a “petrol bomb” dropped on the Pakistani people. The shift in the political landscape, which ended the coalition’s majority in parliament, was not expected to lead to the fragile government’s imminent collapse. But analysts warned that Pakistan’s army may use the crisis as yet another reason to delay launching an operation against militants in the country’s North Waziristan tribal area who regularly attack foreign troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. believes cutting the militants off from North Waziristan and other sanctuaries inside Pakistan is critical for any sustainable victory in Afghanistan. “It will give the army chief the excuse to say that he does not have the political consensus needed to go into North Waziristan,” said Mosharraf Zaidi, an independent political analyst and columnist in Islamabad. The army, considered the most powerful institution in Pakistan, has deflected demands for a North Waziristan operation in the past, saying its troops are stretched too thin in other areas along the Afghan border. But many analysts believe the army is reluctant to
Qalah area of the Upper Sangin Valley. The tribe controls the majority of the 30 villages located in a 17square-kilometer region, said Mangal spokesman Daoud Ahmadi. The tribe last rose up against the Taliban in 2007 but failed because of a lack of
resources and coalition help. Sangin is a strategic region for the Taliban and one they do not want to lose. It is a key crossroads to funnel drugs, weapons and fighters throughout Helmand and into neighboring Kandahar province, the spiritual heartland of the Taliban. It is also one of the last remaining sanctuaries in Helmand where the Taliban can freely process the opium and heroin that largely fund the insurgency. “The insurgents have already begun to strike back savagely at those who desire peace but so far the elders remain steadfast,” Mills said in a statement. Mills said that his forces would continue to push into Taliban and insurgentcontrolled areas and would fight back if confronted. According to Mangal’s office the deal was struck on Saturday in the center of Sangin after 25 days of negotiations. “As they are the majority in that area we can say this will be a successful process in that area,” Ahmadi said.
companies early in the year after selling stocks they lost money on in December in order to reap tax benefits, Hirsch said. In corporate news, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. gained 2.9 percent to $173.05 after the New York Times reported that it bought a stake in Facebook in a deal that valued the social-networking company at $50 billion. Facebook remains a private company, though its shares are traded on private stock exchanges. Stocks rose throughout Europe earlier in the day after a report showed that manufacturing in countries that use the euro expanded faster than analysts had forecast. The Euro Stoxx 50 index rose 0.6 percent. Benchmark indexes in France and Belgium each rose more than 2 percent. The dollar edged up 0.2 percent against an index of six heavily traded currencies. Stocks in the U.S. ended mixed on Friday, the last day of trading in 2010. For many investors, 2010 turned out better than expected. Every major stock market index in the U.S. increased by double digits. The S&P 500, the market measure used by most professional investors, returned 15.1 percent after dividends. Historically, the index has returned an average of 10.01 percent a year, including dividends. Stocks ended 2010 especially strong. The S&P gained 20 percent over the last four months of the year, capped by a 7 percent jump in December. On Monday, rising stocks outnumbered falling shares three to one on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume was 4.4 billion shares. target militant groups with which it has historical ties and could be useful proxies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw. That outlook is unlikely to change regardless of which party is running the government, said Zaidi. “There is nothing that can happen to change Pakistan’s calculus,” he said. The army could not be reached for comment. In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the Obama administration is following developments but considers the situation to be a matter for the Pakistan government to work out. “This is about internal politics within Pakistan,” Crowley said, adding that Washington will continue to work with Islamabad in pursuit of common interests. He said he would not conclude that the loss of MQM in the coalition is necessarily a distraction from the struggle against extremism. “We’re focused on our long-term partnership with Pakistan,” Crowley said. The Pakistan People’s Party took power in February 2008 in elections that brought Pakistan out of nearly a decade of military rule. It rode to power on a wave of sympathy after its leader, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated. But its popularity has slipped as Pakistan has grappled with severe economic problems and frequent militant attacks. The inflation rate in Pakistan is above 15 percent, according to government statistics, and the poorest are feeling the pain most.

Roswell Daily Record
We’ll remember Richardson for a long time
He was a bigger-than-life governor who controlled every job in state government. He loved the movies and enjoyed hobnobbing with the stars. He spent freely and handed out contracts to cronies. He called the shots in the Legislature and had powerful friends in Washington. Many public places bear his name. I’m talking about Clyde Tingley. Any resemblance to Bill Richardson is purely intentional. The flamboyant Tingley was governor during the 1930s. He deftly steered so much WPA money to New Mexico that the Republican National Committee accused him of robbing the national treasury, and yet, many New Mexicans got jobs when there were none to be had otherwise. We’re still using those parks and public buildings, not to mention Conchas Reservoir. In 1983 a Tingley biographer wondered, “Can there ever be another governor like Clyde Tingley?” We can now say, yes. The soapbox set is now rehash-

ing headlines — tax cuts, DWI campaign, spaceport, Rail Runner, presidential run, North Korea, budget turmoil, and pay-to-play scandals — before concluding his legacy is “mixed.” When I listen to people, including an entrepreneur who created a string of companies here, they tend to say, “He did some good things, but ...” We know pretty well what the buts are. Looking at the good, I’d say he made jobs and economic development a priority and got the state moving. He had a vision for New Mexico that was bigger than our own. During his first term, Richardson, a man of gale-force energy,
seemed to be everywhere. He handed long to-do lists to his Cabinet, lieutenant governor, staff and even the Legislature. In the first year he got education reform passed and expended a lot of political capital campaigning for a constitutional amendment to help pay for it. He was front and center on base retention. He spent money. “I want you to give me the tools in this session to jump on our problems,” he told lawmakers in 2003. Projects flowed — water and road works, economic development initiatives (even in Harding County, a place of few voters and fewer votes for Richardson), and school rehabs. Richardson created two new state parks — Eagle Nest Lake State Park and Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park — and upgraded others. He signed a gaming compact with the Mescalero Apache Tribe that ended years of litigation. When a cabinet secretary tried to close Camp Sierra Blanca, over the heated objections of Lincoln County
residents, Richardson ordered her to find another use for the juveniletreatment facility. He created the New Mexico Rodeo Council, which recommended and got improvements to rodeo arenas around the state. The council and Richardson nearly snagged the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association headquarters and Hall of Fame. In 2005, some thought Richardson was grandstanding when he declared a border emergency, but developments since have proved him right. He funneled $1 million to the border counties to hire more law enforcement officers and buy vehicles. Long before any efficiency task forces looked askance at boards and commissions, Richardson pulled the plug on 41 of them. When state Treasurer Robert Vigil was implicated for corruption, Richardson replaced him with Doug Brown, a former banker, a Republican and stand-up guy, and told him to clean house.
The new governor and others have criticized Richardson for his presidential campaign. He made no secret of his political ambitions, and voters elected him anyway, believing he would help the state on his way to Washington. But how to finance a campaign from a poor state like New Mexico? It became his Achilles heel. Was Richardson sometimes abrasive, vindictive, heavy-handed? Did he appoint some duds to state jobs? Did he infuse politics into everything he touched? Yes, yes and yes. Clyde Tingley was a rough-spoken man who admitted being a machine politician because, he told journalist Ernie Pyle, it was the only way to get things done. If the accusations against Richardson melt away, as he insists they will, we will remember him as we do Tingley, for what he got done. And for his familiar dramatic exit with the cameras still rolling. Elvis has left the house.

EDITORIAL
Death panels, maybe; rationing, likely
It’s debatable whether, under Obamacare, “death panels,” perhaps committees of bureaucrats charged with deciding what types of medical care the government will pay for and what it won’t, especially as the costs rise toward the end of life, are a fevered fantasy or a prudent fear, with respectable arguments either way. What now cannot be debated is that the Obama administration has decided to incorporate, by administrative fiat, the provision in the health care proposal that not quite accurately sparked the deathpanel debate. During debate last year over the president’s health care proposal, a Medicare provision authorizing payment for end-of-life consultations with doctors — advance directives on extraordinary measures to prolong life and the like — was part of the bill. It was a stretch to extrapolate this, as some did, into “death panels” deciding what treatments would be allowed based on considerations other than the best interests of the patient (another provision, the Independent Payment Advisory Board, is a better candidate). Instead of defending this provision, however, the administration simply removed it from the version that achieved final passage. Apparently the possibility that this provision would not have been approved by Congress (let alone the new Congress coming in January) didn’t discourage advocates. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius recently approved a regulation permitting Medicare payment for such consultations, not every five years, as in the Obamacare proposal, but annually. At least one member of Congress who supports the provision advised other supporters not to broadcast the decision too widely lest it stir up controversy. The controversial apparently is to be done in as much secrecy as possible — although apparently not that much given the proliferation of regular and irregular news sources. Besides highlighting an administration preference for administrative over democratic procedures — and the penchant for operating with considerably less than full disclosure in an administration that had promised unprecedented transparency — the new provision could contribute over time to the kind of bureaucratic rationing of health care many Americans fear. It creates a new Medicare entitlement without paying for it. As such entitlements proliferate to the point that outlays exceed inputs in a system already approaching a fiscal tipping point, the temptation to ration care to keep costs down is likely to become irresistible. Whether those who administer such rationing are called “death panels” or something else could well be academic. As the Department of Health and Human Services over the next year continues to implement provisions of the new health care law in the face of a House that just might try to prevent such implementation being funded, we can expect numerous similar issues to arise. We will see whether traditional American resistance to the administrative “rule of experts” that is the soul of progressivism can slow down its implementation by those who believe they are the proper experts to rule us. Guest Editorial The Orange County Register DEAR DR. GOTT: About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with NMO, or Devic’s disease. I have a mild case so far. It started with shingles and morphed into the NMO. My left side is numb, with my left hand hypersensitive. The right side of my neck is what bothers me. I cannot get it, my hips and shoulders to stop aching. The treatment for NMO is steroids, and I am also on Imuran. There isn’t much information on NMO/Devic’s.

Who messed with my jalapeños?
When you’re of Mexican heritage, like I am, comfort food means Mexican food. And what’s a Mexican meal without some spice? This holiday season, that’s what we enjoyed in our household, because, as I like to say, a meal without some chile is like a kiss without a hug. Simply insipid. Not too long ago, taking a bite out of a jalapeño pepper was reserved for the brave or the bold. This king of Mexican chiles dates back to the time of the Aztec Indians, and has since been an essential staple in Mexican food. But during

the past decade, something happened to the jalapeño in the United States. A group of scientists at Texas A&M University in College Station decided to develop a milder jalapeño, one that could be mass-produced and consumed by those with a
numbness, weakness, loss of vision and bladder and/or bowel problems. There is no cure available, and treatment is somewhat limited; however, research is ongoing. Currently, steroids and plasma exchange are the best options. For some patients, the regular use of steroids may be necessary, and relapse may occur when the steroids are tapered off and discontinued. For those not helped by steroids, plasma exchange may be considered. Imuran (azathioprine) and mitoxantrone (Novantrone) may also be helpful. Standard MS therapies have not been proven to be as effective in NMO. You may benefit from prac-
more delicate palate. So out of the laboratory was born the TAM Mild Jalapeño II, a milder, gentler version that dominates the U.S. market today. The Texas Foundation Seed Service says: “The TAM Mild Jalapeño II are of mild flavor and reduced heat with a larger fruit size, and are used extensively in pickled form to spice dishes, and in mash form as the main ingredient for mild hot sauces. The fruit has a heat index on the Scoville rating of about 1,000. The original Mexican jalapeño heat index begins at about 8,000

If you experience improvement, your physician should also be aware because changes in dosages and medications may be appropriate.

on the scale.” The newer, milder jalapeño has drawn complaints from food purists, chefs and chile enthusiasts across the country. Numerous responses were posted on a website when one reader wrote: “I can’t even make a decent spicy pico de gallo because the jalapeños are so mild. Or is this just another example of the homogenization of American agribusiness foods?” Other comments were: “I’ve been noticing, lately, that jalapeños have become very

A look at three books which will be movies this year LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY
January is Celebration of Life Month, signifying a new year and the opportunity for new beginnings. Today is Trivia Day, offering a chance to dazzle friends and family with those many little trinkets of knowledge, no matter how big or how trivial. Politics and popular culture, such as the movies, is often the subject of trivia questions. Future trivia questions might relate to women governors. For instance, 32 women have served as the governor of a U.S. state and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The first three women governors replaced their husbands. Since then, several states have elected women as governors. In 2011, three women will become governors. In Oklahoma, Mary Fallin will serve as their first female governor. In South Carolina, Nikki Haley will be the first female Indian American and Asian American governor. In New Mexico, Susana Martinez became the state’s first female governor, as well as the first Hispanic woman governor in the U.S.

movies. Some movies are better than the books, some books are better than movies and sometimes, if done properly, movies can add to the reading experience. Deanne Dekle, children’s librarian, investigates three great books that will be coming to theaters sometime in 2011. She invites everyone to preview the anticipated movies by reading the books first. “Water for Elephants” by Sara Gruen begins with Jacob Jankowski as a 93-year-old man living in a nursing home sharing the memories of his youth. As a young man, he studied to be a veterinarian. When tragedy struck, he left college and joined the Benzini Brothers Circus to care for the animals. The circus is full of colorful characters such as the Marlena, the wife of the animal trainer. August is a horrible man who not only beats his wife but the animals as well, including Rosie the Elephant. Jacob falls in love and wants Marlena to leave her husband. He even contemplates killing August himself. Meanwhile, the owner of the circus, Uncle Al,
Unfunded programs
Dear Editor: Noel Sivertson’s letter to the editor on Nov. 28, “Poor shouldn’t get sick” was certainly correct in stating that “It is irresponsible for a person to acquire something he can’t afford” and “Repeal Obamacare.” What was missing was the real reasons. It is just as irresponsible for a government to acquire something it can’t af ford. Medicare Parts A and B have combined unfunded liabilities of $68 trillion. In less than three years Medicare part D has run up additional unfunded liabilities of $17.2 trillion. Our politicians have committed future generations to pay a combined $99.2 trillion just for our unfunded Social Security and Medicare obligations. Noel’s share works out to around $330,000. Maybe Noel can come up with a better alter native than Obamacare with it’s huge bureaucracy that sucks up all the tax dollars before they trickle down to the poor sick person. Joy R.

But a chile-less chile does seem like an oxymoron. T oday, the wimpier version of the jalapeño has become a commercial success. Ingenious minds have created jalapeño jelly, jalapeño poppers, jalapeño cor nbread, jalapeño cream cheese and hundreds of other recipes that spice up the palate just a tad.

Try smiling
Dear Editor: Well, now I’ve heard it all I suppose. I was watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade on Channel 10. I love the floats, the fun and the smiles. During one of the commercial breaks, I made the mistake of flipping through the channels. On one of the religious channels I heard a right-wing TV preacher ranting that this country is being driven into “socialism, immorality, defeat and hyper inflation by Obama.” Then, on MSNBC, I heard some academic left-winger also ranting on that there was nothing to be thankful about because “we are still at war and people are still out of work. That’s why Obama lost this election, he didn’t do what he promised.” Both these distinguished speakers had something in common besides their personal dislike of the president. Neither one ever smiled. Since I was a small boy at a religious fundamentalist military school, I’ve been suspicious of people who don’t smile. Now, I’m downright afraid of them. Yes, we’re still at war, but we didn’t
chefs on the Food Network. Fast-food chains are named after the smoked jalapeño, and some airlines offer chipotle mayonnaise in minipackets to spread on a bland turkey sandwich. The jalapeño is Mexico, just as much as its traditional cuisine, which is not easily replicated outside its borders. Several weeks ago, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization awarded Mexico its first ever gastronomy recognition. T raditional Mexican cuisine is now part of UNESCO’s representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, an elite list of traditions, practices and rituals that encourage intercultural dialogue and shared identity. Mexican cuisine is one of the first cuisines or national food offerings to be declared a part of UNESCO’s World Heritage. Upon receiving the news, the Mexican Tourism Board decided
to celebrate by asking chefs in the United S tates and Canada to showcase the rich flavors and culture found in Mexican cuisine during a series of dinners. “Mexican cuisine unveils the heart of all that is authentic to its people with a variety of dishes that create a unique blend of tradition and modern zest,” said Alfonso Sumano, director of the Americas, Mexico Tourism Board, when he learned of the accolade by UNESCO. So, when you do have an opportunity to experience the now-worldrenowned food from my family’s country, you might want to bring your own jalapeños to keep it truly authentic, just in case the TAM shows up in the kitchen.

Skeeter has retur ned to her childhood home after attending college only to discover her childhood maid has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The book is told from the perspectives of all three women and takes a close look at race relations in the Deep South during that time period. It reveals how women of a certain class were dependent upon, and, in actuality, how their lives revolved around the hired help.

Horne: Tucson district violates ethnic studies ban
PHOENIX (AP) — A major school district in Tucson is violating a new state law by continuing an ethnic studies program designed primarily for Hispanics, outgoing Arizona schools chief Tom Horne said Monday. The finding on the day Horne leaves of fice to become state attorney general could cost the Tucson Unified School District nearly $15 million, which amounts to 10 percent of its annual state funding. The district has 60 days to
comply with the law that went into effect on Dec. 31. The finding could be appealed to an administrative law judge, said Horne, who expects the district to comply. Horne, a Republican, contends the district must eliminate its Mexican-American studies program, or incoming Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal would have to decide to withhold funding. “In my eight years as superintendent of schools, I’ve never seen
a district not come into compliance when faced with a severe financial penalty,” Horne said. District superintendent John Pedicone was not immediately available for comment. The district board passed a resolution last week reiterating its support for the program and for complying with the new law. Horne fought for years to get the district to eliminate its Mexican-American ethnic studies program, which he says promotes racial resentment toward whites
while segregating students by race. The state Legislature passed a law last year banning classes designed primarily for students of a particular race, that advocate ethnic solidarity or promote resentment toward a certain ethnic group. It also prohibits classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government. Horne said he found that the Tucson district’s program violated all four prohibitions in the law, although only one violation can
trigger the financial penalties. Other district ethnic studies programs, including AfricanAmerican and Native-American, were not included in the decision. The programs focus on history and literature and include information about the influence of a particular ethnic group. For example, in the MexicanAmerican Studies program, an American history course explores the role of Hispanics in the Vietnam War, and a literature course emphasizes Latino authors.
County defends hurricane spending
HOUSTON (AP) — Chambers County officials are defending their spending of tens of millions of federal dollars for cleanup from Hurricane Ike after a federal audit questioned whether the money was properly used in the Southeast Texas county devastated by the September 2008 storm. An audit report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General recommended last month that much of the $45 million already paid to contractors and approved by county administrators be disallowed. The review cited non-competitive contracts, shoddy or non-existent record-keeping and ineligible and unsupported costs. “Chambers County emphatically denies all the unfounded allegations made (or inferred) with respect to any wrongdoing,” the county said in a 42-page written response, which county officials gave to The Associated Press on Monday. Chambers County was swamped by as much as of water inland, leaving behind more than 13 million cubic yards of debris that included hazardous materials considered immediate public health and safety threats. The county eventually received $56.8 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency money through the Texas Division of Emergency Management. It was part of $2.5 billion that FEMA delivered to Texas for the Hurricane Ike response. Four of the five debris removal contracts totaled $44.6 million in Chambers County. Auditors questioned all of the expenditures, saying unreasonably high hourly rates were paid on one contract and FEMA had no assurances that reasonable rates were paid on the other three. It said contracts were awarded non-competitively and neither the county nor FEMA had documentation to support how they determined the hourly rates were reasonable. The audit also found the county didn’t monitor time and material contracts and claimed $4 million in ineligible and unsupported costs. Chambers County responded to the audit findings by saying FEMA, the county and contractors were in “constant negotiation” for two weeks in the wake of the storm with FEMA ultimately approving and setting “what they deemed as reasonable rates for the contractors to be paid.” “When determining the rates, factors such as the salt-water environment and contact with hazardous materials were taken into account — something normal equipment operations usually do not entail,” the county said. “We did not set or recommend those rates, FEMA did, and they reimbursed for them.” County officials also said they were dealing with a first-of-its-kind FEMA debris removal program and that county residents and landowners “have expressed many thanks” because there was no way they could have covered the cost themselves to remove the unprecedented amount of storm debris.

Africa heads offer amnesty to Ivory Coast’s Gbagbo
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — African leaders on Monday were offering Laurent Gbagbo an amnesty deal on condition he cedes the presidency peacefully to the internationally recognized winner of Ivory Coast’s elections, an official said Monday. The African heads of state traveled to Ivory Coast to give persuasion another chance before resorting to military intervention. The presidents of Benin, Sierra Leone and Cape Verde also visited last week without result, and this time they were being joined by Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga. No developments were immediately announced. Results tallied by the country’s electoral commission and certified by the United Nations showed Gbagbo lost the November election by a nearly 9-point margin to opposition leader Alassane Ouattara. Gbagbo has clung to power with the backing of the army, and human rights groups accuse his security forces of abducting and killing hundreds of political opponents. The U.N. says it also has been barred entry from two suspected mass graves. U.S. officials said they remain willing to help Gbagbo make a “dignified exit,” including revisiting the visa ban so he can travel to the United States and take up a possible teaching
position, but only if he agrees to step down. They said the window of opportunity for that, however, is rapidly closing. Several other countries have also offered to provide a “soft landing” for Gbagbo, but he has refused and now appears to be digging in, officials said. An official from the Kenyan prime minister’s office said the renegade Ivorian leader would be guaranteed safety if he agrees to hand over power and chooses to stay in Ivory Coast or go elsewhere. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not have permission to speak with the press, did not have further details on the amnesty, but said the deal offered by the African leaders was non-negotiable. The three visiting presidents represent the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS,
a 15-member regional bloc that is threatening military action to seat Ouattara. Kenya’s prime minister is representing the African Union. U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the United States supports the envoy’s mission. “We hope that President Gbagbo will listen intently to the message that he needs to step down,” Crowley said. “So far, he hasn’t. But we certainly endorse what ECOWAS is trying to do today,” Crowley said. Gbagbo has dismissed the international condemnation as “a foreign plot”
led by France, the country’s former colonizer. In a break with the past though, the African leaders also have taken a stance against one of their own. Col. Mohammed Yerima, a Nigerian military spokesman, said defense chiefs from ECOWAS members met on Friday to begin strategizing what sort of assault they’d use if talks fail. President Obama tried to call Gbagbo twice last month, from Air Force One as Obama returned from Afghanistan and then a week later. Neither call reached Gbagbo; adminis-
tration officials believe the Ivorian leader sought to avoid contact. So Obama wrote Gbagbo a letter, offering him an international role if he stopped clinging to power and stepped down. But Obama also made clear that the longer Gbagbo holds on, and the more complicit he becomes in violence across the country, the more limited his options become, said a senior administration official. The official insisted on anonymity to speak about administration strategy. A Ouattara spokesman also said opportunities for Gbagbo will dwindle if he
refuses to go. “People are still saying that if he is ready to step down, the doors are open and there will be places for him to go. We’re only asking him to go peacefully,” said Patrick Achi. “If he is taken by force, I don’t see where he’ll be able to go.” Gbagbo, who came to power in 2000 and ruled during a brief civil war, overstayed his mandate that expired in 2005, claiming the country was too unstable to organize a poll. The election was finally held after it had been scheduled and then canceled at least six times.

NATIONAL BRIEFS BROWNS FIRE COACH MANGINI BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have fired coach Eric Mangini following a second straight 5-11 season that ended with a humiliating home loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. He was dismissed during a Monday morning meeting with team president Mike Holmgren, the club said in a statement. Mangini went just 10-22 with the Browns and finished his second season with a four-game losing streak. Cleveland went 2-6 following an upset of NFL heavyweight New England on Nov. 7 — a victory that seemed like a turning point. Instead, it only triggered a slide. Mangini’s ouster with two years left under contract seemed set long before Sunday’s 41-9 loss, and the rout certainly didn’t help his cause with Holmgren. “This decision was not easy for me, and it was one into which I put a great deal of thought,” Holmgren said. “Although we have made improvements this season, my responsibility is to ensure that we establish a program that will allow this team to compete at a championship level.

Stanford cruises by Virginia Tech, 40-12
MIAMI (AP) — John Elway flashed his familiar grin and Jim Harbaugh gave a jubilant shout from the sideline as Andrew Luck sprinted up the field to join an end zone celebration. Nearly a quarter remained in the Orange Bowl, but the Stanford Cardinal were on the way to their first bowl victory in 14 years. And it was a blowout. Luck, the Heisman Trophy runner -up, threw for 287 yards and four touchdowns Monday night to lead fifth-ranked Stanford past No. 12 Virginia Tech 40-12. It was a performance reminiscent of Elway, the former Stanford quarterback who is expected to become the Denver Broncos’ chief football executive this week. He served as an honorary captain, and ex-Stanford QB Jim Plunkett was also on hand to lend support. The Cardinal (12-1) likely will end the season ranked in the top 5 for the first time since the unbeaten 1940 team finished No. 2. Their success comes only four years after they went 1-11 and hired Harbaugh as coach to lead a turnaround. Virginia Tech (11-3), playing in a bowl game for the 18th consecutive year, fell to 1-27 against top-5 teams. Stanford threw a completion for a bizarre safety and blew two extra points, but
overcame those mistakes with six plays gaining more than 30 yards. Two came in succession on a two-play, 97-yard “drive,” and the Cardinal outscored Tech 270 in the second half. Coby Fleener caught scoring passes of 41, 58 and 38 yards from Luck, all in the final 21 minutes. Zach Ertz had a 25-yard TD reception, Jeremy Stewart scored on a 60-yard run and Stepfan Taylor added a 56-yard run. Fullback-linebacker Owen Marecic scored on a 1-yard run and had a sack. Luck went 18 for 23 and was chosen the Orange Bowl most valuable player. Fleener had six catches for 173 yards for the Cardinal, who outgained Tech 534-288. The game might have been the last at Stanford for Luck and Harbaugh. Luck, a sophomore, is projected as the likely first pick in the NFL draft if he turns pro this year. Harbaugh is expected to be courted by NFL teams and perhaps alma mater Michigan after leading the Cardinal to a school-record win total. Stanford began to pull away in the third quarter. After Delano Howell made an interception at the 3 to snuff a Tech threat, Taylor busted loose and reached Hokies territory. On the next play, Luck threw deep to Fleener for a 26-12 lead.

Garrett’s day-after duties could indicate a return
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jason Garrett stood before the Dallas Cowboys on Monday and gave them their marching orders for the offseason. He encouraged them to watch the playoffs and to be frustrated over not being a part of it. He talked about
things they can do to become a playoff team next year. Speaking to reporters, Garrett said he’ll be at the Senior Bowl later this month to check out potential draft picks and that “going forward, we will continue to
implement the changes in regards to the offseason and how we do training camp and some of those things.” In every way, he sounded like a guy who plans to remain in charge. Garrett has acted like a permanent coach since

becoming the team’s interim leader two months ago. So the image he projected Monday was no surprise. If anything, team owner Jerry Jones allowing Garrett to fill those roles Monday was the latest indication he will be returning. “It’s probably not the day to talk about that, to be honest with you,” Garrett said. “Today is really a day to start the evaluations of our players and, in due time, we’ll have some conversations about that.” Garrett has built a strong case by taking a team that had been 1-7 and going 5-3, with the losses by a total of seven points. He might already have the job if not for a league rule requiring Jones to interview a minority candidate. Jones is expected to meet with receivers coach Ray Sherman, who is black. He’s talked about meeting with outside candidates, too. Jones also said he plans to keep the pool small and wants to decide soon. When asked Sunday about the new coach’s involvement on hiring assistant coaches, Jones may have revealed his intentions by replying, “That
Broncos glad to put bad season behind them
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Well, the Denver Broncos are glad that’s over. Now that the worst season in their 51-year history is in the rearview mirror, the Broncos are eager to get on with the rebuilding project after Josh McDaniels’ 22month reign of error. “To say I’m glad it’s over is true but it doesn’t take away from the disappointment of a 4-12 record and a lot of the stuff that we went through as an organization on and off the field,” chief operating officer Joe Ellis said. “The feeling that leaves you with is not a pleasant one. “But we’ve got to get over it, get over it quickly. We’ve got to get better. We owe that to our fans, we owe it to the community. And hopefully starting very soon we’re going to take some steps to do that.” The Broncos, who own the second overall pick in the draft following their devastating season, are expected to introduce Hall of Famer John Elway as their chief football executive on
Wednesday, and his first order of business will be to launch a coaching search. First in line for an interview is interim coach Eric Studesville, who went 1-3 after being promoted from running backs coach when McDaniels was fired on Dec. 6 in the wake of a videotaping scandal and amid the team’s worst slide in four decades. Studesville is considered a long-shot but he could still have a future in Denver as an assistant after providing the reeling Broncos with just what the organization needed: a friendly face who answered all the tough questions with none of the aloofness or brashness that defined McDaniels’ tenure. “He did a great job under adverse circumstances,” Ellis said. “And he brought a lot of positive energy. ... He lived up to our expectations. He did a fine job.” The Broncos acknowledge they shouldn’t have given McDaniels so much responsibility so soon by naming See DENVER, Page B2
is certainly something that Jason needs to have input in.” Garrett said he and Jones have no meetings set up. Don’t read anything into that because Jones already has said he doesn’t need to interview Garrett. “The last eight games spoke for themselves,” said linebacker Bradie James, a defensive captain. “That’s why he was able to address us today. If they wouldn’t have went the right way, he wouldn’t have been up there. It would’ve just been Jerry.” Other teams with vacancies could seek permission to interview Garrett. Technically, when the season ended Sunday his status reverted to assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. He’s under contract for those jobs for one more season. Asked if he would even talk to other teams, Garrett said, “We’ll just let that whole situation unfold.” While Garrett dancing around most aspects about his future, he offered morsels of insight.

his belief that being both offensive coordinator and head coach — as he’s done since early November — is “an efficient way to do it.” He avoided a direct answer about whether he and Jones have discussed removal of the interim tag by saying, “A large, large majority of our conversations have been what we’re doing each and every day.” Thus, a small, small minority of their conversations were about that. “We’ve always had the feel that he’s our head coach since he’s taken over,” said third-string quarterback Stephen McGee, who led Dallas to a victory over Philadelphia on Sunday in his first career start. “He got everybody to buy in from the very beginning. ... I think everybody that’s played for him believes in him and would love to play for him.” Jones spoke to the club Monday, too, and brought up his favorite subject: the Super Bowl. Failing to make this

Webb, Rhodes formally added to Rangers staff
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Rangers will have a former Cy Young Award winner wearing No. 33 after all next season — Brandon Webb instead of Cliff Lee. Three weeks after losing Lee in free agency, the AL champions on Monday finalized a $3 million, one-year deal with the 2006 NL Cy Young winner, who hasn’t pitched since the 2009 season opener after shoulder surgery. Texas also completed a $3.9 million, one-year contract with 41-yearold reliever Arthur Rhodes. While Texas would still like to add a big bat and possibly another pitcher this offseason, general manager Jon Daniels refused to discuss the possibility of signing free agent third baseman Adrian Beltre or get specific about any other potential moves. “There are still some interesting possibilities out there,” Daniels said. “We focused a lot this offseason on continuing to build the depth, as far as insulating the core, bringing in character pieces, character players that fit what we’re trying to do. I think there’s still potentially an opportunity to continue to do that. We’ve been in contact with potentially a few things that might be a little bigger than that, but it’s hard to say whether any of those will come to fruition.” Webb, whose last major league game was the 2009 opener for Arizona, can earn $5 million in bonuses. Rhodes, coming off one of his best seasons in a 20-year major league career, has a deal that includes a $4 million club option for 2012 that could become guaranteed. Webb was one of the NL’s best pitchers before shoulder surgery in 2009, and his rehabilitation including pitching four innings over 1 1/2 weeks in the instructional league in October. “I feel good right now, feel good where I’m at,” Webb said. “I felt comfortable on the mound each time I went out there. My velocity got better and my stuff got better. Just taking it from there, I feel like I’m going to be ready for spring training for sure.” If the Rangers make a deal with Beltre, a two-time Gold Glove winner coming off his first All-Star season, it would impact Michael Young, the franchise’s career hits leader who has three seasons left on his contract. Young was a second baseman until shortstop Alex Rodriguez was traded, then moved to third base two years ago to make room for rookie shortstop Elvis Andrus. Webb has already been throwing for a couple of weeks in preparation for spring training. “Right now, there’s no limitations at all for me,” Webb said. “I expect to jump right in. ... This year should be the year I feel back to normal.” Webb was 16-8 with a 3.10 ERA the year he won the Cy Young Award, then improved his victory total in each of the next two seasons when he was also an All-Star. He was 18-10 with a 3.01 ERA in 2007, then 22-7 with a 3.30 ERA in 2008 for the Diamondbacks, the team that drafted him in the eighth round in 2000. After pitching more than 200 innings in five consecutive seasons, Webb developed shoulder trouble that eventually resulted in surgery. The Diamondbacks exercised their $8.5 million option to keep him under contract for 2010, but he never made it back after throwing only four innings in the 2009 season opener. Webb’s surgery in August 2009 was done by Dr. Keith Meister, the Rangers’ team doctor. Daniels said Meister felt the pitcher “was where he should have been from a conditioning standpoint. ... All of the checkpoints you’d look at were there.” In 199 career games, all with the Diamondbacks since 2003, Webb is 87-62 with a 3.27 ERA, 1,065 strikeouts and 435 walks. Webb, who wore No. 17 in the past, is switching to No. 33 to honor former Kentucky teammate Jon Hooker, who was killed in a 2006 plane crash the day after

one extends Dallas’ drought to 15 straight seasons, the longest in franchise history. This failure hurts more because the game will be played in Cowboys Stadium. “I encourage every teammate to watch it and let your stomach boil a little bit,” tight end Jason Witten said. “That’s what it’s about, the playoffs and seeing those teams celebrate and go for the ultimate prize.” Jones was counting on the Cowboys becoming the first team to play in a Super Bowl at home. It seemed realistic coming off a division title and a playoff win. But the season spun out of control early, forcing him to fire coach Wade Phillips midway through. When he promoted Garrett, all Jones asked was to make the team competitive again. Garrett did that from the start, taking Dallas to New York and beating the division-leading Giants. “What I told them today was I was very proud of them, of how they played the last eight weeks,” Garrett said. getting married. Rhodes appeared in 69 games for Cincinnati, his most since 2001, despite being bothered at times by a left foot problem that didn’t keep him from pitching. He had a 2.29 ERA in 55 innings with 50 strikeouts and 18 walks. “It feels great to be a Ranger,” said Rhodes, who was born in Waco, about 100 miles from Rangers Ballpark, though he currently lives in Baltimore and spoke by phone. “It makes me feel good that I can play in front of my family and play in the state I grew up in. ... I’m feeling good and ready to go.” The left-hander has an 84-66 record with 32 saves and a 4.06 ERA in 849 career games for Baltimore (1991-99), Seattle (2000-03, 2008), Oakland (2004), Cleveland (2005), Philadelphia (2006), Florida (2008) and Cincinnati (2009-10). He missed the 2007 season after Tommy John surgery. Lee signed a $120 million, five-year deal to return to the Philadelphia Phillies, who had traded him at the end of the 2009 season to Seattle. The Rangers had offered the ace left-hander $138 million over six seasons with the possibility of a seventh season.

him coach and de facto general manager, two jobs he’d never had, at age 32. So, they were determined to restructure the organizational chart, and they’re going to empower general manager Brian Xanders, who was basically relegated to serving as a consultant to McDaniels. With final say on all personnel matter, McDaniels made a series of decisions that backfired. After feuding with Jay Cutler and shipping him to Chicago upon his arrival in Denver, McDaniels last year sent Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall to Miami, where he had his fourth straight 1,000-yard season. He also shipped running back Peyton Hillis and two draft picks to Cleveland for quarterback Brady Quinn once he’d already decided to make a move for Tim Tebow on draft night. Quinn didn’t take a single snap and Hillis rushed for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Browns. McDaniels was still celebrating his selection of Tebow when he got a call on draft weekend informing him that All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady had blown out his left knee playing hoops.
Clady’s play slipped dramatically, but at least he got to play. Pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil wasn’t so fortunate. Just days after signing a mega contract after leading the league with 17 sacks in 2009, he tore a chest muscle in training camp and went on injured reserve. Rookie offensive linemen J.D. Walton and Zane Beadles were overmatched as immediate starters, leading to a one-dimensional offense that would get Kyle Orton hit too much and eventually knock him out for the year. Linebacker D.J.

In October, the Broncos retracted a contract extension offer from their best player, perennial Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey, who said he’d like to stay in Denver but is eager to test free agency. “Regardless of what’s out there, I want to be here,” Bailey said. “(But) I’m not going to shortchange myself at all. I want to win. If I feel like I have a better opportunity to win somewhere else, that’s what it’s going to be.” Denver’s roster needs a

Vikings make Leslie Frazier their next head coach
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Touting Leslie Frazier’s communication style, crisis management skills and credibility with players, the Minnesota Vikings decided to strip the interim tag from the former NFL cornerback and make him their head coach. Frazier stressed a team-first mentality on Monday, and a belief that “it’s only a matter of time” before the championship-deprived franchise wins a Super Bowl. He vowed a thorough examination of the roster, the staff and the scheme on both sides of the ball to get the Vikings back to the playoffs, following a dramatic 6-10 failure that came after an NFC runner-up finish the season before. The Vikings started 3-7 before Frazier took over Nov. 22 for the fired Brad Childress. They went 3-3 under the 51-yearold longtime assistant coach the rest of the way. “I think we’ll be able to look back at these last six weeks and say, ’You know what? That was the beginning of something special,” Frazier said Monday, during his introductory news conference at Winter Park. Mired in a mess of a season that started with a Super Bowl-or-bust goal, the Vikings saw Brett Favre get slammed to the turf and sprain his throwing shoulder on Dec. 5. Then the roof of their domed stadium collapsed a week later, they had back-to-back home games moved, and their scheduled Dec. 26 game at Philadelphia was pushed back two days by a snowstorm. Frazier’s ability to keep his players relatively focused despite being out of postseason contention was a major factor in getting the full-time job. “I was standing up in front of them and talking to them about how we have to approach every situation and not always certain if they’re buying in,” Frazier said. “And then you go out and watch them perform, and you go, ’Yeah, they’re buying in. They’re listening.’ So for me, that was just another example of sticking with your message, believing in what you say, and if you’re honest, if you’re straightforward, people will follow.” The Wilf family has stressed stability and acted swiftly over five-plus years of ownership, and Frazier was selected in the same focused, confident manner. “We took it very seriously and we took a lot of input on this, but clearly Leslie is the right man for the job,” team president Mark Wilf said. “He listens and makes good decisions. We saw a lot of that through a lot of the adversity, especially the last few weeks.” The Wilfs fired former coach Mike Tice minutes after his final game of the 2005 season. And just like the discipline-minded Childress was hired in part as a reaction to the boat party fiasco that took place under Tice, Frazier brings a warmer and more dynamic personality than his predecessor, who turned some fans and players off by coming across as rigid and aloof. Childress had final word on the roster. His hasty, solo act of jettisoning troublesome wide receiver Randy Moss upset the Wilfs and also showed a hole in the hierarchy. Front office titles will remain the same, and the Vikings won’t hire a traditional general manager. Frazier and vice president for player personnel Rick Spielman instead will share the authority over roster moves. “It’s about communication, trust and working together. And we feel very confident that it’s the proper system,” lead owner Zygi Wilf said. “I don’t feel that when they discuss things out and communicate and talk it out that there’ll ever be a situation where we would have to be the ones to be calling for a tiebreaker.” Frazier said he has “a ton of respect” for Spielman. Their first collaborative task is obvious: find a quarterback, or two. Favre is finally retiring, and Frazier said he wouldn’t ask the 41-year-old to reconsider again. “I can’t think of any circumstance of where I would pick up the phone and say, ’Brett, do you want to come back next season?”’ Frazier said. “We don’t want to be a team that’s hovering around 4-12, 3-13. You don’t want to be that. At the same time, you don’t want to bring in a stopgap guy and not develop a young quarterback for the future,” he added. “I think we all want a young quarterback that we can develop and build our franchise around. That would be ideal, to find the next Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco.” The defensive coordinator under Childress and a starting cornerback on Chicago’s 1985-86 championship team, Frazier drew positive reviews from the players for his steady approach. “He’s always seemed like a head coach ever since he took over that role,” left tackle Bryant McKinnie said. “He knows how to talk to you, and he respects you.” Childress hired Frazier to run the defense in 2007, after Mike Tomlin left to become Pittsburgh’s coach, and later appointed him assistant head coach. Frazier, who has coached in the league since 1999, has interviewed for seven NFL head coaching vacancies over the past three years. This was the eighth. “He played in the league, first of all,” running back Adrian Peterson said after
Roswell Daily Record major makeover and the Broncos have just six selections in the draft to repair a defense that was the league’s worst. McDaniels didn’t use any of his 19 draft picks on an inside linebacker or defensive tackle and the Broncos ranked better than only Buffalo in defending the run in 2010. The lowest point of the Broncos’ season was the suicide of former Denver wide receiver Kenny McKinley, who killed himself with a gun he’d bought from a teammate. Safety Renaldo Hill said the team couldn’t really mourn until now. “Kenny was a good guy. He was a father. Just tough things to think about,” Hill said. “This is my family here — and for all these guys — and losing a part of that is definitely a hole in our hearts.” The Broncos’ next coach might step right into a quarterback controversy. Tebow started the last three games, going 1-2 but providing some much-needed energy and excitement to the team, the organization and the city after supplanting prolific passer Orton, who lost his starting job when he suffered bruised ribs and two poor performances in December. Sunday’s season-ending loss at Detroit. “He has all of the respect from each and every man in this locker room. So when he talks, the ears will listen to what he has to say.”
Farewell to Favre, NFL gunslinger says he’s done
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — There is the way most NFL quarterbacks do things and the way Brett Favre did it. Over 20 seasons he built one of the most exciting, colorful and drama-filled careers the league has ever seen, built on a “don’t try this at home” style of play predicated on taking big risks in the game’s biggest moments. No apologies needed for his three MVP awards, two Super Bowl appearances and NFL records for consecutive starts, victories by a quarterback, yards passing, completions, touchdowns and pretty much every other passing mark there is. And none offered for his bitter split from the Green Bay Packers, careless interceptions in a pair of NFC championship games and refusal to cooperate with an NFL investigation into alleged tawdry messages sent to a game-day hostess with the New York Jets in 2008. “I hope that people admired the way I played, my passion for it,” Favre said Sunday after watching his Vikings lose in Detroit while a third-string quarterback named Joe Webb took the snaps. “Because I hold no regrets.” He’s been called a gunslinger and riverboat gambler by those who watched him throw off his back foot, across his body to a well-covered receiver time and time again. Like most great gunslingers, Favre’s exit was messy and violent. His final season was filled with turnovers and oddities — the final play of Favre’s career will apparently be a jarring sack by the Bears on a rock-hard college football field. On the same day players across the league were clearing out their lockers for the year, Favre was sued by two massage therapists who say they lost their jobs with the Jets after complaining about those text messages from the famous quarterback. Favre led the Vikings to the 2009 NFC title game in one of the most memorable seasons in the franchise’s 50-year history. But his second season in Minnesota couldn’t have gone much worse, and it appears the 41-year-old has finally worn out his welcome in a league that reaped the benefits of his talents for two decades. “I cannot think of any circumstance of where I would pick up the phone and say, ’Brett, do you want to come back next season?’ “ said Leslie Frazier, who was elevated to head coach on Monday. “I can’t think of any circumstance where that would occur.” Frazier and Favre are close. But after watching his quarterback struggle personally and professionally through his 20th season, Frazier thinks the time has finally come for him to retire. If you believe that Favre is done for good this time or that he’s heading home to Mississippi perhaps a year too late, there is no disputing this: The NFL will be a little less interesting without one of the league’s biggest personalities contemplating another comeback, playing through another injury and squeezing another pass into double coverage. “I think that the history and what Brett Favre has done for this league it speaks for itself,” said Titans receiver Randy Moss, who spent four ill-fated weeks in Minnesota with Favre this season. “I’m a big Brett Favre fan, a big Brett Favre supporter.” He wasn’t the only one. In 325 career games with the Packers, Jets and Vikings, a total of 21,208,946 fans paid to watch him throw a pass in person, according to STATS LLC. That’s more than the populations of New York, London and Los Angeles combined. He was one of the most popular and unpopular players in league history. Idolized for so long in Green Bay after putting the NFL’s smallest city back on the football map with a Super Bowl title in 1996 and another trip back in 1997, a road outside Lambeau Field wasn’t the only thing in Wisconsin named in his honor. The name Brett was never more popular for a newborn boy in the state than it was during Favre’s three straight MVP seasons from 1995-97. In the 15 years before Favre arrived in Green Bay via trade from Atlanta, an average of just over 105 boys born each year in Wisconsin were named Brett, according to the Social Security Administration. That average jumped to 204.5 in the Packers’ Super Bowl seasons of 1996 and ’97. Teammates turned into fans in Favre’s presence, speaking in hushed tones with almost universal reverence for his accomplishments and leadership. Kicker Ryan Longwell recalled a team meeting in his rookie year with the Packers when GM Ron Wolf asked the group what was needed to get the team back to the Super Bowl. “Without missing a beat, this Hall of Fame Brett Favre, MVP of the league, a couple years previously, says, ’You know what we really need? We really need a water softener in the shower,”’ Longwell said with a chuckle. “That early on in my career told me everything I needed to know about Brett and the direction that he was going and the joy he had just playing the game.” Even his coaches were enamored. When Favre was in New York in 2008, thenJets coach Eric Mangini’s son was born on

Warriors with 14 points and six rebounds, while Garrett Gill chipped in with 11 points and six rebounds. Austin Wulf and Luke Grant each had five rebounds for Gateway. T roy Grant said that he hopes his team learned a lesson from the loss. “I hope they learn that you can’t just go out there and show up,” he said. “You have got to learn from games like this. We came out with intensity and you have got to maintain that and we just didn’t. We came out flat right off the bat in the second quarter. Once they got their rhythm going, we couldn’t get back in it.” Gateway is in action again today as they take on Cloudcroft. The game is at home and starts at 7 p.m. Oct. 10, the same birthday as Favre. Mangini named the boy Zack Brett. “He was my favorite player when I was a kid and the only jersey I ever owned was a Brett Favre jersey when he was at Green Bay,” Vikings rookie running back Toby Gerhart said. Favre’s storybook romance with Green Bay ended poorly. He first started hinting at retirement after the turn of the century, then chafed when the Packers selected Aaron Rodgers in the first round in 2005. He announced his retirement during a tearful press conference in 2008, only to change his mind and force his way out in a trade to the New York Jets. After the Packers beat the Vikings for the second time this season, coach Mike McCarthy was asked if he was happy to be rid of the “Favre vs. the Packers” storyline for good. “I’m rid of it,” McCarthy huffed to the reporter. “You need to get rid of it.” An accomplished rambler, Favre was as skilled at controlling the message in his press conferences as any athlete, his slow Southern drawl masking a razor sharp ability to turn the conversation. It was on display throughout his final, disappointing season in Minnesota, especially when he was confronted about allegations that he sent lewd pictures and messages Jenn Sterger.

DEAR ABBY: How does one live peacefully and get along with one’s inlaws? I understand that everyone has different ideas, morals, etc., and I feel we should all try to respect one another’s differences. However, my in-laws make it extremely difficult to spend time with them. How does one eat at the same table with people who eat with their faces an inch from their plates and chew with their mouths open? How does one tolerate their complaining about everything and everyone? How does one coexist with people who think they’re perfect and the rest of the world is flawed? I thought about giving them an etiquette book as a gift, but my spouse told me not to waste the money. BITING MY TONGUE IN ST. PAUL, MINN.
DEAR BITING: An etiquette book would help only people who recognize they needed to consult one. The way to deal with your in-laws is, first, to remember they did one thing right: They produced your husband. Because their table manners offend you, visit with them after mealtime whenever possible. If you can’t avoid it, keep your eyes on your own plate. When they complain, respond with something positive or tactfully redirect the conversation to another subject. When they present themselves as perfect, never disagree — and see them Dear Heloise: I have a suggestion for a helpful way to save. Many of the lightweight cardboard or paperboard containers we discard in the trash or recycling bins have tops, sides and/or bottoms that can be cut into the size of POSTCARDS. The U.S. Postal Service charges 28 cents each to mail, as long as the card size does not exceed 4 1/2 by 6 inches. Inexpensive scrap paper or notepaper can be taped onto your homemade cards in case they are short of clear surfaces to

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of two years, “Bobby,” is still technically married to — and living with — his wife and child. He says he “has” to stay there because his son has learning difficulties and needs his support. Bobby wants to wait until his son is older and more stable. His wife is a shrew who is just there as a roommate. She knows all about our affair, but she wants to stay married. She says she still loves Bobby even though he no longer loves her. This triangle is stressful for me and Bobby. Don’t you think his wife should wake up and smell the coffee? Bobby and I want to get on with our life together without all of this baggage constantly interfering with your plans. What should we do? HIS TRUE LOVE
DEAR TRUE LOVE: The person who should be smelling the coffee isn’t Bobby’s wife — it’s you. You have invested two years of

your life in a man who is as married as one can get. Bobby isn’t going anywhere, and the sooner you accept that fact the sooner you can find an eligible man to spend your life with. This may seem hard to accept, but if you don’t believe me, just give your “true love” an ultimatum.
Hagar the Horrible
HHHHH DEAR ABBY: Does a woman consider a man’s invitation to lunch as the next thing to his asking her to sleep with him? And what do others think about this invitation if the female mentions it to her husband or friends? One etiquette book said, in effect, “If the lunch is not about business, it’s about sex.” Pretty severe, I think. I asked a female co-worker to lunch for purely social reasons, but I have gotten reactions of derision from others about it. Can’t a man ask a female to lunch without some sort of negative social reaction? LET’S DO LUNCH, MISSOULA, MONT. DEAR LET’S DO LUNCH: In my book he can. And many do. To ask someone to lunch in the bright sunlight of high noon in a casual restaurant is hardly what I’d call a proposition. And I’ve never seen an etiquette book that implied that it is. It appears the “others” you have been telling have dirty minds and enjoy razzing you.
Eddie, a good recycle and reuse hint! Please note: According to the Postal Service, if a postcard is more than .016 inch thick, it is considered oversized, and it could be charged as a letter or a large envelope. Folks, just remember that postcards are nice for a quick greeting, but any personal information should be sent in a sealed letter! Heloise
Dear Heloise: So many stores are handing out credit-card-size and keychain-size reward or loyalty cards. I don’t like to keep them all in my wallet. I solved the problem by punching a hole in the credit-card-size ones and putting them with smaller keychain cards. I leave the ring full of cards in the car, and take them with me if I know I am going into one of the stores that I have a card for, or just leave them in the bottom of my purse to keep them all accessible. Babs Howard, Huntington Beach, Calif.
Dear Readers: Here are some great gift ideas to consider for expectant parents: * Offer to paint the baby’s room. * Make several days’ worth of meals in disposable pans and include reheating instructions. * When delivering meals, include paper plates, utensils and any other “extras” needed to enjoy the completed meal. * Are there minor home improvements you can do? Assemble crib or bookcases, arrange baby-room furniture or install a Dutch door (where the top half of the door opens separately) for the baby’s room. * Print “gift certificates” such as “free baby-sitting for first date post-baby,” “maid for the day” or “lawn-mowing services.” * Provide transportation to/from the airport for out-oftown guests visiting the new bundle of joy! Heloise Dear Heloise: When the gasket (rubber seal) around my refrigerator went bad, a helpful repairman taught me that a thin layer of petroleum jelly can be a real money-saver. I applied the jelly to the clean gasket, and it helped make a tight seal. Lois J. in Newark, N.J.

Judge will rule if doc is tried in Jackson’s death
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A doctor who had been hired for a dream job as Michael Jackson’s highly paid private physician now has his reputation in tatters and his future on the line as he faces a preliminary hearing to decide if he will stand trial for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Jackson. The hearing for Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston cardiologist who also has a clinic in Las Vegas, is set to begin Tuesday — just days after a prosecutor said he expects the defense to claim Jackson killed himself. Murray, 57, had been hired to help Jackson pr epar e and to accompany him on his European comeback tour entitled “This is It.” But Jackson died between rehearsals
for the show, and Murray is accused of gross negligence when he administered the powerful anesthetic propofol, which Jackson had been demanding to get to sleep. criminal The case, with its expected focus on Jackson’s longtime prescription drug abuse, could under mine his estate’s efforts to r ehabilitate the pop star’s image after his death on June 25, 2009. Managers of the estate have sought to burnish his legend with the release of a concert movie using rehearsal footage from the ill-fated show. They also r eleased a new album, “Michael,” featuring songs he left behind. But testimony at the pr eliminary hearing is likely to open doors they preferred to keep closed.

In a last-minute twist, Deputy District Attor ney David Walgren said he expects the defense to claim at a possible trial that the sleep-starved Jackson killed himself by using a syringe to selfadminister additional pr opofol when Murray left the room. “I do think it’s clear the defense is operating under the theory that the victim, Mi chael Jackson, killed himself,” Walgren said last week at a separate hearing. “They don’t want to say it, but that’s the dir ection in which they ar e going.” Defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan r efused to comment on the prosecutor’s remarks. The issue was not expected to arise until trial because the defense doesn’t plan to present any evidence during the pr eliminary hearing. Prosecutors will contend propofol is only sup posed to be used in hospital situations for surgery, and that patients given the drug must be constantly monitored. Experts are expected to testify at the
hearing that it was reckless to administer the anesthetic in a private home without pr oper equipment. If convicted, Murray could face as many as four years in prison and the loss of his medical license. Already in financial distr ess, he also faces a wr ongful death lawsuit by Jackson’s father. Murray has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer has said that nothing he did should have har med Jackson. An autopsy report found Jackson died fr om an overdose of propofol. In a statement to police, Murray acknowledged giving Jackson the drug and other sedatives to help him sleep then briefly leaving his bedside. Cellular phone records show Murray made at least thr ee personal calls ar ound the time Jackson was stricken. Murray’s lawyers are seeking tests of r esidue found in two syringes r etrieved fr om Jackson’s bedr oom. One was attached to an intravenous bag and the other was br oken on the

floor. Thirty prosecution witnesses are scheduled to testify at the two-week preliminary hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor. If the case does go to trial, many legal observers have wonder ed if an unbiased jury can be found in the case of Jackson, one of the most idolized entertainers of all time. His death at the age of 50 was one of the most shocking passings of a music giant since Elvis Presley died in 1977. Drugs wer e involved in both cases. The Jackson family members — mother Katherine, father Joe and a number of the famous siblings — plan to be in court every day, bearing witness and pr ojecting their grief. Also expected to attend are Jackson fans. They have been a constant presence at previous court sessions with T-shirts, placards and buttons demanding, “Justice for Michael.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actress Anne Francis, who was the love interest in the 1950s science-fiction classic “Forbidden Planet” and later was a sexy private eye in “Honey West” on TV, has died at age 80. Francis died Sunday at a Santa Barbara nursing home, said Bill Guntle, a funeral director at McDermott-Crockett & Associates Mortuary in Santa Barbara. Francis, who had surgery and chemotherapy after being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2007, died of complications of pancreatic cancer, her daughter, Jane Uemura, told the Los Angeles Times. Francis, a stunningly beautiful blonde with a prominent beauty mark, appeared opposite such stars as Spencer Tracy, Paul Newman, Robert Taylor and Glenn Ford in some of the most popular films of the 1950s.

in Leonard Maltin’s “2006 Movie Guide” as “one of the most ambitious and intelligent films of its genre.” A science-fiction retelling of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” the 1956 film had Leslie Nielsen and other space travelers visiting a planet where expatriate scientist Walter Pidgeon, his daughter (Francis) and their helper, Robby the Robot, built a settlement. Before filming began, the actors held a meeting and agreed “to be as serious about this film as we could be,” Francis said in a 1999 interview. “We could have hammed it up, but we wanted to be as sincere as we could,” she said. In “Honey West,” which aired from 1965 to 1966, Francis’ private detective character — who kept a pet ocelot, a wildcat — was a female James Bond: sexy, stylish and as good with martial arts as she was with a gun. She was nominated for an Emmy for the role, which lasted 30 episodes.

“A lot of people speak to me about Honey West,” Francis recalled. “The character made young women think there was more they could reach for. It encouraged a lot of people.” After a childhood career in New York radio and television and on the Broadway stage, Francis arrived in Hollywood when she landed a movie contract at MGM. She later went to 20th Century-Fox, then returned to MGM, and the two big studios afforded her the chance to act opposite the biggest male stars of the day. In “Blackboard Jungle,” the landmark 1955 film about an idealistic teacher (Ford) in a violent city school, Francis played his pregnant wife who is targeted for harassment by one of his students. Among her other films: “Bad Day at Black Rock” with Tracy and Robert Ryan, “Rogue Cop” with Taylor, “The Rack” with Newman, “A Lion Is in the Streets” with James Cagney, and “Hook, Line and Sinker” opposite Jerry Lewis.
