DISCUSSING
CONCUSSIONS
In a series of interviews
about head injuries with
The Associated Press
over the last two weeks,
23 of 44 NFL players
slightly more than half
said they would try to
conceal a possible con-
cussion rather than pull
themselves out of a
game. Some acknowl-
edged they already have.
Players also said they
should be better protect-
ed from their own in-
stincts: More than two-
thirds of the group the
AP talked to wants inde-
pendent neurologists on
sidelines during games.

FRANKLIN TWP. At a time
when Lisa Stull should have
been receiving thanks for the
Christmas dinner she and others
prepared for more than two doz-
en homeless men at Camp Or-
chard Hill, she was giving
thanks.
The dinner concluded a two-
week stay for the men at the
Christian camp along Orange
Road where kids stay during the
summer.
I dont want to get emotion-
al, said Stull, the guest services
director for the camp, before
leading a prayer to start the
meal.
But she choked up a bit.
I cant even begin to tell you
how you bless our lives, she
said.
Volunteers prepared the din-
ner of turkey, ham, stuffing,
sweet and mashed potatoes,
cranberries, carrots and deserts

>> I HOPE YOU were able to get some peace and quiet
on Christmas, because THE MAD RUSH IS BACK ON!!!
Thats right, today is the day to say goodbye to the rela-
tives and rush back to the store to return or exchange
the presents you dont like. And if you received gift cards,
its time to get out there and use them to get the goodies
you want.
>> IF YOURE LOOKING for another magical seasonal
experience, you might want to take in Ballet Theatre of
Scrantons presentation of the holiday favorite The
Nutcracker at the Marywood University Performing Arts
Center. The show features plenty of beautiful dancing, a
rousing Tchaikovsky score and RATS!!! Thats right,
RATS!!! Shows are today, Tuesday and Wednesday with
shows at both 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. each day.
Admission is FREE!
>> HOLIDAY, WHAT HOLIDAY? Still
burned out from last-minute Christmas
shopping? In a frenzy over having to make
a list of New Years resolutions? Well,
Wednesday is the perfect day for you to just
chill out. Its Holiday Breather Day, meant as
a short respite after Christmas and before
New Years. Take some time out today to do
something really relaxing. Like, maybe, noth-
ing. Now, where did I put that
remote control?
>> SATURDAY IS NEW
YEARS EVE and there
are plenty of places to go
and things to do. But if you end up
at home, dont fret. Most impor-
tantly, youll save a lot of money!
But also, youll be able to watch
Dick Clarks New Years Rockin Eve
on ABC. Ryan Seacrest is again host for the show that
begins at 10 p.m. and will take you into the
new year. Musical guests in Times Square
will include Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber,

clude Taio Cruz, Nicki Minaj, Florence +
the Machine, LMFAO, Gym Class Heroes,
Blink-182, OneRepublic, will.i.am and The
Band Perry.
>> GRIDIRON SHOWDOWN: Sunday is New
Years Day, so youre thinking football! But
this year is a little different. Instead of
college bowls, we have the last
day of the NFL regular sea-
son. And of all the big games,
none may be bigger than the
Dallas Cowboys versus the New
York Giants for the NFC East Divi-
sion title and a spot in the playoffs.
If the game ends in a tie, its the
Giants who will move on. The game
airs at 8:20 p.m. on NBC.

THINGS
YOU NEED
TO KNOW
THIS WEEK
StartingTuesday, teenage driv-
ers in Pennsylvania will begin op-
erating under newrules included
in a stiffer driving law known as
Act 81 of 2011.
The lawincludes increased on-
the-road training, permits traffic
stops for seat belt violations and
places limits on the number of
passengers. Theaimis increasing
safety for young drivers.
Among the
provisions:
Learners
permit holders
younger than 18
must spend 65
hours in behind-
the-wheel train-
ing, comparedto
the previous 50
hours. Of the
new hours, 10
must include
driving at night
and five hours
must occur during poor weather
conditions;
The number of passengers in
a vehicle driven by someone
younger than 18 is limited to a
single non-family passenger dur-
ing the first six months of driving
unless they are accompanied by a
parent or legal guardian. After six
months, the junior driver may
transport up to three passengers
younger than 18 who are not im-
mediate familymembers without
a parent or legal guardian pre-
sent, but only if that driver has
not beenconvictedof a drivingvi-
olation or has not been partially
or fully responsible for a report-
able crash;
Not wearing a seat belt is a
primary offense, meaning lawen-
forcement can pull a driver over
with no other cause.
Current permit holders young-
er than 18 who have not yet
passed the driving skills test by
Tuesday will have to meet the re-
quirements of the newlaw. But if
test takers havent scheduled
their exam yet, theyre out of
luck. All exam times in the
Wilkes-Barre area have been
booked into mid-January, said
Jan McKnight, a PennDOT spo-
keswoman.

VATICAN CITY Pope
Benedict XVI issued pleas for
peace to reign across the world
during his traditional Christ-
mas address Sunday, a call
marred by Muslim extremists
who bombed a Catholic church
in Nigeria, striking after wor-
shippers celebrated Mass.
The assault on the Catholic
church left 35 dead in Madalla,
near the Nigerian capital. A
failed bombing also occurred
near a church in the city of Jos,
followed by a shooting that
killed a police officer. The blast
came a year after a series of
Christmas Eve bombs in Jos
claimed by Islamist militants
killed 32.
Benedict didnt refer explicit-
ly to the Nigerian bombings in
his Urbi et Orbi speech, Latin
for to the city and to the
world in which he raises alarm
about world hotspots. But in a
statement, the Vatican called
the attacks a sign of cruelty
and absurd, blind hatred that
shows no respect for human

.SCRANTON -- The Festival of
Lights was celebrated at a special
holiday event on Sno Mountain
on Sunday as part of The Jewish
Discovery Centers Hanukkah
observance.
The eight-day celebration of
Hanukkah is to commemorate a
seminal event in Jewish history
when a number of Jews were be-
sieged by hostile forces and lit an
oil lantern to rededicate their
desecrated temple.
The eveningevent featuredthe
ceremonial lighting of a special
Menorah, marshmallow roast-
ing, live music anda complete ko-
sher Chinese buffet, as well as a
variety of outdoor winter activ-
ities.
This is a fun-raising event for
us, said organizer Rabbi Benny
Rapoport. We wanted to orga-
nize a fun event that the whole
family could enjoy.
Rabbi Rapoport said he hoped
to attract families from through-
out the region for the holiday
event. Its our goal when plan-
ning an event to partner with lo-
cal business, he said. We want
to work with other organizations
in the community.
Several slopes and lifts were in
operation this holiday weekend
with snow-making machines at
the local resort working to cover
the slopes with man-made snow
in preparation for the upcoming
season.
Were having tons of fun to-
day, said two young boys from
Waverly, as they stoodbundledin
the man-made snow. Well be al-
right so long as our feet stay
warm.

upcoming activities, contact the

Fire heavily damages Butler Township home
A fire Christmas night heavily damaged a house at 440 N. Hunter Highway in Butler
Township. Valley Regional Fire & Rescue Chief Rich Bognar said the cause is under in-
vestigation and a state police fire marshal was called in to assist in determining the cause.
Approximately 12 departments responded to the alarm around 7:55 p.m. When we got
here it was fully involved, said Bognar. He said he was uncertain if anyone was home at
the time, but added there were no vehicles in the driveway. Firefighters entered the build-
ing and found holes in the floor, said Bognar. They exited the structure and fought the
blaze from the outside taking a totally defensive approach, he said. The fire was knocked
down around 9:30 p.m.
GRAPEVINE, Texas Seven
people believedtobe relatedhad
openedtheir Christmas gifts and
startedcleaningupthewrapping
paper when they were shot to
death in a suburban Fort Worth
apartment, police said Sunday.
Authorities said they believe
the shooter is among the dead,
but got a warrant before doing a
full search on the small chance
that it was otherwise.
Four women and three men,
aged 18 to 60, were
found in an adjoining
kitchen and living
roomarea when police
entered the apartment
around midday, said
Grapevine Police Sgt.
Robert Eberling. Two
handguns were found
near the bodies in the
apartment that was
decorated for the holi-
day witha tree, he add-
ed.
It appears they had
just celebrated Christ-
mas. They had opened
their gifts, Eberling
said.
Thevictimshavenot
yet beenidentified, but
Eberling said it ap-
pears they all died of
gunshot wounds. Hesaidauthor-
ities still dont know what
sparked the incident.
Grapevine Police Lt. Todd
Dearing said investigators be-
lieve that all the victims were re-
lated, but that some were only
visiting and didnt live in the
apartment. He said police are
looking for other relatives to in-
form.
Sevenpeopleinonesettingin
Grapevine, thats never hap-
pened before. Ever, Dearing
said.
He said police were perform-
ing a meticulous search of the
apartment and he expects them
to be on the scene for many
hours.
Police and firefighters first
rushed to the Lincoln Vineyards
complex after receiving anopen-
ended 911 call at about 11:30
a.m., Eberling said.
There was an open line. No
one was saying anything, he ex-
plained.
So police went into the apart-
ment, located in a middle-class,
suburban neighborhood of Gra-
pevine, not far from the upscale
Fort Worthneighborhoodof Col-
leyville. The apartment is at the
back of the complex, overlook-
ing the athletic fields of Colley-
ville Heritage High School.
But many of the nearby apart-
ments arevacant, andpolicesaid
no neighbors reported hearing
anything on a quiet Christmas
morning when many people
were not around.
Jose Fernandez,
a 35-year-old heavy
equipment me-
chanic who moved
to the complex
with his family
about six months
ago, said he always
felt safe inthe area,
but is nowafraid to
let his 10-year-old
son play freely out-
side.
This is really
outrageous espe-
cially on Christ-
mas, said Fernan-
dez, who was visit-
ing family for the
holiday and return-
ed to find several
police cars parked
outside his home.
This has shocked everybody.
It has scared everybody. I guess
something like this can happen
anywhere, but seven people
dead. Its just very scary, he add-
ed.
Eberlingagreedtheareaisfair-
ly quiet, notingthis wouldbe the
first homicideinGrapevinesince
2010.
Christy Posch, a flight attend-
ant who moved to the complex
about six months ago so her son
could attend the high school,
said she lives a few buildings
away and did not hear any gun-
shots.
Its all families. Thats why I
moved here. No burglaries, no
nothing, Posch said.

WILKES-BARRE -- Carolyn Kohl Fal-
zone is up every Christmas morning be-
fore 6 a.m., but its not to open presents
or ready her home for guests. Her mis-
sion for the day is entirely selfless.
Its not Christmas until I walk
through these doors, she said of the
First Presbyterian Church on Franklin
Street in Wilkes-Barre. This is the only
Christmas I know.
The First Presbyterian Church and
the CommissiononEconomic Opportu-
nity, or CEO, of Wilkes-Barre have part-
nered together since 1978 to provide a
hot meal for those inneedonChristmas
Eve andChristmas Day. Falzones moth-
er, Ruth, helped begin the decades-old
tradition.
Its just fun, Falzone said. I like be-
ing here with everyone, my family in-
cluded. My brother already had me
cracking up, in stitches this morning.
The atmosphere in the kitchen was a
jovial one, with several volunteers of all
ages putting together a meal that con-
sisted of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuff-
ing, rolls, pie, and various other sides.
The morning is dedicated to cooking,
while a sit-down meal begins around
noon. Its not limited to dining at the
church, though. During the morning of
both days, volunteers deliver food to
Wyoming Valley residents in need.
This year it was estimated that 125
people would filter into the church for
their Christmas Day meal.
Jill OConnell of Dallas participated
this year for the fourth time, along with
her parents and siblings. This type of
Christmas is preferable for the young
girl.
Its nice to feel like you did some-
thing, she said. I wouldrather be here,
in charge of the sides and cutting pie,
than be sitting at home. The fact that
my family is here as well is a bonus, of
course.
Everyone that comes in here appre-
ciates it, theyre always thanking us.
Theyre so kind and its nice to sit with
them and have a conversation.
Falzone hears the praise as well.
People always thank us, tell us that
what were doing for the people that
come in here is so wonderful, but they
dont realize that its good for us, too,
Falzone said. Nothing beats helping
others.

SCRANTON Attorneys for plaintiffs
in the class action suit arising from the
juvenile justice scandal in Luzerne
County asked a federal judge for prelimi-
nary approval of a $17.75 million settle-
ment with real estate developer Robert
Mericle, saying it is the superior way
to fairly and efficiently resolve the issue.
The settlement would provide mone-
tary payments of varying amounts to at
least 2,400 juveniles adjudicated by for-
mer county judge Mark Ciavarella be-
tween January 2003 and
May 31, 2008 and their par-
ents and guardians who
made payments to cover
the costs of their place-
ments, according to paper-
work filed Friday in U.S.
District Court, Scranton.
In addition, the attorneys are eligible
to receive up to 30 percent of the settle-
ment as well as payment for expenses as-
sociated with the litigation.
Mericle built two detention centers
where juveniles who appeared in court
before Ciavarella were placed as part of
their adjudication.
The two men were among those
charged criminally in federal court in
connection with a $2.8 million kickback
scheme involving the construction of
the centers in Pittston Township and
Butler County and the placement of
youths in the facilities.
Ciavarella and former Judge Michael
Conahan are serving lengthy prison sen-
tences for their roles in the scheme.
Mericle, who pleaded guilty to a
charge of not reporting a felony, is free
and awaiting sentencing.
The civil suits alleged Ciavarella and
Conahan had an undisclosed financial
interest and conflict of interest in adju-
dicating the juveniles delinquent and
were participants in a conspiracy to im-
properly incarcerate the youths, result-
ing in payments of court costs, fines and
other fees and penalties.
Arguing for approval of the class set-
tlement, the attorneys said it is superi-
or to individual settlements or trials
and many of the damage claims are
small. But more importantly, they ar-
gued, many of the plaintiffs are young
and unsophisticated, desire confiden-
tiality, and deeply distrust the judicial
system.
The attorneys furthermore said the
settlement is fair, reasonable and ade-
quate and in the best interests of the ju-
veniles and their parents and guardians.
They added arms-length negotia-
tions have been held in good faith for
more than year and a settlement was not
considered until after thousands of pag-
es of documents were reviewed and the
court ruled on dismissal requests.
Still outstanding are claims against
other defendants, including the former
judges.

to acquiring AIDS through a tainted in-
jection, but his legacy continues cour-
tesy of two scholarships for students
studying veterinary medicine, the vo-

Heather Kulsa of Hazleton and Kurt
Noll of Ashley were chosen to each re-

The two students at Johnson College
in Scranton are studying to become
veterinary technicians.
The fund was set up by The Times
Leader in memory of Robinson, who

WEST PITTSTON -- The congrega-
tion of the First Presbyterian Church in
West Pittstonfinds itself ina buildingnot
its own this holiday season, but the
change of venue isnt looked upon as to-
tally altering to the group itself. Many
membersfeel ahomeiswhat youmakeit.
We miss the church, we miss being at
what we call home, but when you think
about it its not the building that makes it
home; its the people of this congrega-
tion, said Beth Christ, of Kingston.
Christ has been a member of the church
her whole life, some 50-plus years.
The First Presbyterian Church was
struck by the September flood, causing
extensive damage. The Rev. James Thy-
ren, church pastor, previously estimated
that the church would be looking at sev-
enfigures for repairs. Suchrepairs tothe
former building, which sits on Exeter
Avenue in West Pittston, include gutting
the basement, kitchen, dining room, pas-
tors study andchurchoffice. Thyrenesti-
mated $258,000 in content was ruined.
The restoration process is currently in
the beginning stages.
We have professionals going through
every square inch that was underwater
and scrubbing it down, cleaning it, get-
tingreadytosprayfungicideandasealant
coat, he said. We need to have all the
preparation work done before we can go
in and start doing repairs.
The displacement has not derailed
churchservices. Intheinterim, First Pres-
byterianmembers meet everySundayfor
worshipat St. Cecilias ChurchonWyom-
ing Avenue in Exeter.
According to Thyren, there are 220
congregation members on the books.
The community may be on the tinier
side, but the strength of the group is any-
thing but minor.
The core members are here every
week, Thyren said. Of course there are
some people who are saddened by the
displacement, but were all in high spir-
its.
JoanTilley, of West Pittston, hasbeena
member of the church for the last five
years.
Were doing OK, she said. The peo-
ple of this congregation are wonderful,
and they never hesitate to get together
andhelpout anddowhatever is needed.
There are a lot of memories inthe old
church and its hard to let them go and
just be memories for right now, until we
can go back, Christ said. Were really
just praying. Were also giving a lot of
thanks.
Any member of the First Presbyterian
Church you speak to cannot say enough
about the church and congregation thats
hostingthemwhiletheformer buildingis
being worked on. Were incredibly fortu-
nate, Thyren said.

to-three. Some Republicans have ac-
knowledged that the map was drawn
to ensure that incumbents get re-elect-
ed through the creation of politically
safe districts.
Turzai and other mapmakers stress
that the map must meet certain legal
and constitutional guidelines, such as
protecting the rights of minority vot-
ers and ensuring that each district has
the same number of residents. Courts
historicallyhavenot rejectedamapbe-
cause its designwas drivenby politics,
rather than common-sense geography
or like-minded communities.
In addition, the fact that Pennsylva-
nia is losing a congressional seat de-
manded significant changes in the
mapbut not like alterations that top
Republicans hammered into it, some
say. The state is losing a seat because
of its slow population growth com-
pared to other states during the past
decade.
suburban Pittsburgh and Democrat
Bill Vinsko in Wilkes-Barre, had publi-
cly announced their intention to run
for the U.S. House against an incum-
bent, when they suddenly found their
homes just a hair outside of the re-
drawn districts in which that they had
planned to run.
The map was drawn in private by a
fewtop Republicans in the state Legis-
lature, with input from Pennsylvanias
members of Congress. A nearly final
version of it was made public Dec. 13,
and it took nine days, including a
weekend, to plow through committee
and floor votes in the Republican-con-
trolled House and Senate and secure
the signature of Gov. Tom Corbett, al-
so a Republican.
Pennsylvania is represented by 12
Republicans and seven Democrats in
the U.S. House a notable achieve-
ment in a state where registered Dem-
ocrats outnumber Republican by four-
I would say were more responsive to the
electorate, which is what democracy is
about.
Mike Turzai, R-Alleghenyi
House Majority Leader
HARRISBURG The Pennsylva-
nia Legislature appears unlikely to
heed any calls to change a process that
produceda newmapof U.S. House dis-
tricts widely criticized as a political
product designed by Republican poli-
ticians to benefit Republican politic-
ians.
Similar calls were heard in Pennsyl-
vania a decade ago when the existing
mapwas drawnby a different set of Re-
publicans who controlled the gover-
nors office and Legislature. Some oth-
er states have responded to similar
criticism, with several shifting the
map-drawing responsibility to com-
mittees considered as politically inde-
pendent as possible.
HouseMajorityLeader MikeTurzai,
R-Allegheny, defended the new map
he helped drawfor Pennsylvanias con-
gressional districts, and contends that
the legislators who drawandvote onit
are more answerable to voters. He also
notes that it passed with bipartisan
support intheHouse, if not theSenate.
I would say were more responsive
to the electorate, which is what de-
mocracy is about, Turzai said Friday.
Each state legislature has the pre-
rogative to decide how to draw its
states U.S. House districts, including
the option of shifting the responsibil-
ity to a panel that is perceived as inde-
pendent of political influence. But,
Turzai added: I dont think its any
less political. Its the same, andpolitics
is a factor, but it cannot be the over-
whelming factor, according to the
courts.
The new map for the 2012 congres-
sional elections called the worst
gerrymander in modern Pennsylvania
history, by Franklin & Marshall Col-
lege political scientist G. Terry Ma-
donna shifts whole counties and
some of the states larger cities into
new congressional districts.
It contorts districts, notably the 7th
District in suburban Philadelphia, into
shapes that are difficult to describe
a mudsplatter? It stretches others into
substantially new territory. The 15th
District, for example, now nestled
along the Delaware River in the Le-
high Valley around Allentown and Be-
thlehem, will stretch all the way to the
Susquehanna River as though a lump
of dough flattened by a rolling pin.

with HIV the virus that causes
AIDS in 1989 through a tainted
injection of clotting factor need-
ed to combat hemophilia, a ge-
netic disease that prevents blood
from clotting.
I amcarrying a great burden,
Christopher said in a front-page
article revealing his condition,
And I am tired of it. Telling the
story, he added, could be a lesson
for others. People might learn
from me. Learn not to be scared
of people with AIDS.
Christopher became a local
ambassador for AIDS awareness,
allowing the newspaper to follow
his battle until his deathinFebru-
ary, 2000, at the age of 18.
The scholarship fund was set
up through the Luzerne Founda-
tion and money raised through
annual events like AIDS aware-
ness walks, But the fund became
largely inactive in recent years
and Times Leader editors decid-
ed to use what remains for schol-
arships for two veterinary stu-
dents.
Kulsa, 21, said she had not
heard of Christopher before be-
ing granted the scholarship, but
that the scholarship is a really
great idea in honor of him.
Its sad that he was never able
to fulfill his dreams, Kulsa wrote
in an email, But now he can be
honored in a great way.
AHazletonnativewhogrewup
with German shepherds in the
house, Kulsa is a lifelong animal
lover who opted for a boxer when
she got her own dog, Jenna. I
hope to open my own veterinary
hospital somewhere down the
road, and possibly continue my
education to become a veterinar-
ian, she wrote.
In an interviewwith college of-
ficials for the scholarship, Noll
said his interest in animal medi-
cine began as a youngster when
he helped his dads friends dog
nursing her newborn litter. He
has done volunteer work and
gathered donations for local
SPCAs and animal clinics.
Luzerne Foundation President
Charles Barber said the two
scholarships will exhaust the
fund, but its money being spent
hopefully in a manner that Chris-
topher Robinson certainly would
approve of.

The extra training will leadto safer drivers,
McKnight said.
Inexperienced teen drivers are prone to
peer pressure, take risks, tend not to wear
seat belts, attempt to multi-task behind the
wheel and are increasingly distracted by
young passengers. We believe this new legis-
lation will result in fewer teen crashes and ul-
timately save lives, said Jenny Robinson, a
spokeswoman for AAA Mid-Atlantic.
Another bill that affects drivers of all ages
also will soon be in force.
Senate Bill 314, which bans texting while
driving throughout the state, takes effect
March 8. Pennsylvania joins 34 other states
that banall motorists fromtexting while driv-
ing.
The newlawprohibits sendingor receiving
text messages from a wireless communica-
tion device when a vehicle is in motion. Like
the seat belt provision of the teen driving law,
violating the texting lawis a primary offense.
The offense carries a $50 fine.
Texting while driving is a risk to all road
users, and an overwhelming majority of the
public supports the enactment of a ban, said
Ronald W. Kosh, vice president of Public and
Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.
AAAresearchreportedthat 21percent of driv-
ers admitted text messaging while driving.
While AAA applauded the two new laws,
the organization is still pushing for a state-
wide ban on talking on cell phones without a
hands-free device while driving.

Obama calls servicemen
P
resident Barack Obama marked
Christmas with calls to U.S. service
members stationed around the world.
The White House says Obama spoke
with 10 service members, two from
each branch of the military. He made
the calls Christmas Eve from his rented
vacation home on the Hawaiian island
of Oahu, where he and his family are
spending the holidays.
The president arrived in Hawaii
Friday evening to start a vacation.
NEW YORK
Deadline for lawsuits nears
More than 1,600 people who filed
lawsuits claiming that their health was
ruined by dust and smoke from the
collapsed World Trade Center must
decide by Jan. 2 whether to keep fight-
ing in court, or drop the litigation and
apply for benefits from a government
compensation fund.
For some, the choice is fraught with
risk. Federal lawmakers set aside $2.76
billion last winter for people who de-
veloped illnesses after spending time in
the ash-choked disaster zone.
But to be considered for a share of
the aid, all potential applicants must
dismiss any pending lawsuits by the
deadline and give up their right to sue
forever over 9/11 health problems.
Anyone with a suit still pending on Jan.
3 is barred from the program for life.
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIF.
Soldier wounded at party
A decorated Army soldier recovering
from injuries suffered in a suicide
bombing in Afghanistan has been shot
at his homecoming party, and family
members say hes paralyzed and in
critical condition.
Christopher Sullivan, 22, was shot
late Friday while trying to break up a
fight between his brother and another
man at a San Bernardino, Calif., resi-
dence.
Suzanne Sullivan said her son suf-
fered two gunshot wounds to his back,
which shattered his spine. Family
members told the newspaper that the
shooting late Friday left Sullivan para-
lyzed and in critical condition.
Police said Sullivans brother and a
partygoer got into an argument over
football. When Sullivan moved to in-
tervene, the man pulled a gun and
opened fire. The gunman fled the scene
before police arrived.
SANAA, YEMEN
Protesting for resignation
Tens of thousands of people demon-
strated Sunday in Yemens capital,
protesting the deaths of protesters and
demanding the resignation of the vice
president for failing to bring the killers
to justice.
Marching past the office of Vice
President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi,
the protesters denounced him as a
tool in the hands of outgoing Presi-
dent Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The march took place as Hadi was
meeting with U.S. Ambassador Gerald
Feierstein. A statement from Hadis
office said they discussed Yemens
crisis, and Hadi appealed for calm.
Hadi is heading a transitional gov-
ernment after Saleh agreed to transfer
power following months of demonstra-
tions and turmoil. Under the U.S.-
backed plan, Saleh won immunity from
prosecution, angering many of his
opponents.
In the capital Sanaa, troops com-
manded by Salehs relatives attacked
protesters on Saturday, activists said,
killing at least nine and setting off
Sundays demonstration.

LAGOS, Nigeria Terror attacks
across Nigeria by a radical Muslim sect
killed at least 39 people Sunday, with
the majority dying on the steps of a Ca-
tholic church after celebrating Christ-
mas Mass as bloodpooledindust froma
massive explosion.
Authorities acknowledgedthey could
not bring enough emergency medical
personnel to care for the wounded out-
side St. Theresa Catholic Church in Ma-
dalla near Nigerias capital. Elsewhere,
a bomb exploded amid gunfire in the
central Nigeria city of Jos and a suicide
car bomber attacked the military in the
nations northeast as part of an appar-
ently coordinated assault by the sect
known as Boko Haram.
The Christmas Day violence, de-
nounced by world leaders and the Vat-
ican, shows the threat of the widening
insurrection posed by Boko Haram
against Nigerias weak central govern-
ment. Despite a recent paramilitary
crackdown against the sect in the oil-
rich nation, it appears that Africas most
populous nation remains unable to stop
the threat.
The White House condemned what it
called a senseless attack, offered its
condolences to the Nigerian people and
pledged to assist authorities in bringing
those responsible to justice.
In a statement, Britains Foreign Sec-
retary William Hague said, These are
cowardlyattacks onfamilies gatheredin
peace and prayer to celebrate a day
which symbolises harmony and good-
will towards others.
The first explosion on Sunday struck
St. Theresa Catholic Church just after 8
a.m. The attack killed 35 people and
wounded another 52, said Slaku Lu-
guard, a coordinator with Nigerias Na-
tional Emergency Management Agen-
cy.
Though billions of dollars of oil mon-
ey flow into the nations budget yearly,
Luguards agency could only send text
messages to journalists asking for their
help in getting more ambulances.
Those wounded filled the cement
floors of a nearby government hospital,
with television images showing them
crying in pools of their own blood.
Corpses lined an open-air morgue.

KABUL, Afghanistan A sui-
cide bomber struck a funeral
gathering in northern Afghanis-
tan on Sunday, killing at least 19
people, including a member of
parliament, and heightening
fears of an accelerating slide into
violence in a part of the country
that was once relatively peaceful.
The attack, which also left doz-
ens of mourners injured, took
place in the city of Taloquan, the
capital of Takhar province, north
of the capital, Kabul, where rela-
tively few coalition troops are
present and the insurgents are
thought to be gaining strength.
The slain lawmaker was Abdul
Matlab Baik, a well known anti-
Taliban figure. A provincial
spokesman, Faiz Mohammad Ta-
whidi, said officials believed he
was deliberately targeted in the
attack.
Baik had previously served as
provincial police chief and as a
deputy minister of tribal affairs in
the government of President Ha-
mid Karzai.
Assassinations of public offi-
cials and tribal elders have in-
creased over the past two years
across Afghanistanan insur-
gent tactic meant to intimidate
those who ally themselves with
the Karzai government.
Karzai, along with the U.S. em-
bassy and NATOs International
Security Assistance Force, con-
demned the attack. Gen. John Al-
len, the American commander of
Western troops in Afghanistan,
called it "barbaric."
The midafternoon bombing
came as prayers were being read
before the burial of an influential
tribal leader.

PYONGYANG, North Korea North
Korea is showing the uncle and key pa-
tron of anointed heir Kim Jong Un wear-
ing a military uniformwith a generals in-
signia a strong sign hell play a crucial
role in helping the young man take over
power and uphold the military-first pol-
icy initiated by his late father, Kim Jong
Il.
As North Korea prepares for Kim Jong
Ils funeral Wednesday, it is also warning
South Korea against barring visits to
Pyongyang by civilian groups hoping to
pay respects, saying the obstruction will
lead to catastrophic consequences for
relations between the rivals.
While millions continue to mourn Kim
Jong Il, North Korea is offering hints
about Kim Jong Uns rise and the future
compositionof his inner circle. NorthKo-
rea began hailing Kim Jong Un as su-
preme leader of the 1.2-million strong
military over the weekend as it ramps up
its campaign to install him as ruler.
KimJong Un, who is in his late 20s and
was unveiled in September 2010 as his fa-
thers choice as successor, will be the
third-generationKimto rule the nationof
24 million.
Koreans should become eternal revo-
lutionary comrades with Kim Jong Un,
the sun of the 21st century, the Norths
main Rodong Sinmun newspaper said
Sunday in a commentary carried by the
official Korean Central News Agency.
State television showed footage Sun-
day of a uniformed Jang Song Thaek and
his nephewKimJong Un paying their re-
spects before KimJong Ils body, which is
lying in state at Kumsusan Memorial Pal-
ace.

STAMFORD, Conn. A fire tore
through the home of an advertising ex-
ecutive in a tony neighborhood along
the Connecticut shoreline Sunday, kill-
ing her three children and both of her
parents on Christmas morning.
Madonna Badger and a male ac-
quaintance were able toescape fromthe
house as it was engulfed by flames, said
Stamford Police Sgt. Paul Guzda. But
Badgers three daughters a 10-year-
old and 7-year-old twins perished in
the fire, Guzda said.
He said Badgers parents, who were
visiting for the holiday, also died.
Neighbors awoke to the sound of
screaming shortly before 5 a.m. and
rushed outside to help, but they could
only watchinhorror as flames devoured
the grand home in the pre-dawn dark-
ness and the shocked, injured survivors
were led away from the house.
It is a terrible, terrible day, Mayor
Michael Pavia told reporters at the
scene of the fire.
Badger, an ad executive in the fashion
industry, is the founder of New York
City-based Badger & Winters Group. A
supervisor at Stamford Hospital said
she was treated and discharged by Sun-
day evening.
Property records show she bought
the five-bedroom, waterfront Victorian
home for $1.7 million last year. The
house is situated in Shippan Point, a
wealthy neighborhood that juts into
Long Island Sound.
The male acquaintance who also es-
caped the blaze was a contractor who
was doing work on the home, Guzda
said. He was also hospitalized but his
condition was not released.
Police officers drove Badgers hus-
band, Matthew Badger, from New York
City to Stamford on Sunday morning.
Badgers parents lived in Southbury,
Conn., Guzda said.

GET YOUR KITCHEN OR BATH REMODELED FOR WINTER
DANBURY, Conn. For more
than a decade they toiled in the
strange, boxy-looking building on
the hill above the municipal air-
port, the building with no win-
dows (except in the cafeteria), the
building filled with secrets.
They wore protective white
jumpsuits, and had to walk
through air-shower chambers be-
foreenteringthesanitized
cleanroom where the
equipment was stored.
They spoke in code.
Fewknewthetrueiden-
tity of the customer
theymet inasmoke-filled,
wood-paneled conference
room where the phone
lines were scrambled.
When they traveled, they
sometimes used false
names.
At one point in the
1970s there were more
than 1,000 people in the Danbury
area working on The Secret. And
thoughtheyworkedlonghoursun-
der intense deadlines, sometimes
missing family holidays and anni-
versaries, they couldtell no one
not even their wives and children
what they did.
They were engineers, scientists,
draftsmen and inventors real
cloak-and-dagger guys, says Fred
Marra, 78, with a hearty laugh.
He is sitting in the food court at
the Danbury Fair mall, where a
group of retired co-workers from
the former Perkin-Elmer Corp.
gather for a weekly coffee. They
have been meeting here for 18
years.But until recently, they were
forbiddentospeakabout the great-
est achievement of their profes-
sional lives.
Ah, Hexagon,EdNewtonsays,
gleefully exhaling the word that
stills feels almost treasonous to ut-
ter in public.
It was dubbed Big Bird and it
was considered the most success-
ful space spy satellite program of
the Cold War era. From 1971 to
1986, a total of 20 satellites were
launched, each containing 60
miles of film and sophisticated
cameras that orbited the earth
snapping vast, panoramic photo-
graphs of the Soviet Union, China
and other potential foes. The film
was shot back through the earths
atmosphere in buckets that para-
chuted over the Pacific Ocean,
where C-130 Air Force planes
snagged them with grappling
hooks.
The scale, ambition and sheer
ingenuity of Hexagon KH-9 was
breathtaking. The fact that 19 out
of 20launchesweresuccessful (the
final mission blew up because the
booster rockets failed) is astonish-
ing.
So too is the human tale of the
45-year-old secret that many took
to their graves.
Hexagon was declassified in
September. FinallyMarra, Newton
and others can tell the world what
they worked on all those years at
the office.
My name is Al Gayhart and I
built spy satellites for a living, an-
nouncedthe64-year-oldretireden-
gineer to the stunned bartender in
his local tavern as soon as he
learned of the declassification. He
proudly repeats the line any
chance he gets.
It was intensely demanding,
thrilling and the greatest experi-
ence of mylife, says Gayhart, who
washiredstraight fromcollegeand
was one of the youngest members
of the Hexagon brotherhood.
He describes the white-hot ex-
citement as teams pored over
hand-drawings and worked on
endless technical problems, using
slide-rules andadvanceddegrees
(there were no computers), know-
ingtheywerepart of suchacompli-
cated space project. The intensity
would increase as launch dead-
lines loomedandonthedays when
the customer the CIAand lat-
er the Air Force came for brief-
ings.
Though other companies were
part of the project Eastman Ko-
dak made the film and Lockheed
Corp. built thesatellitethecam-
eras and optics systems were all
made at Perkin-Elmer, then the
biggest employer in Danbury.
There were many days we ar-
rived in the dark and left in the
dark, says retired engineer Paul
Brickmeier, 70.
He recalls the very first briefing
on Hexagon after Perkin-Elmer
was awarded the top secret con-
tract in 1966. Looking around the
room at his 30 or so colleagues,
Brickmeier thought, How on
Earth is this going to be possible?
One thing that made it possible
was a hiring frenzy that attracted
the attentionof topengineers from
around the Northeast. Perkin-El-
mer also commissioned a new
270,000-square-foot building for
Hexagon the boxy one on the
hill.
Waiting for clearance was a sur-
real experience as family mem-
bers, neighbors and for-
mer employers were
grilled by the FBI, and
potential hires were
questioned about every-
thing from their gam-
bling habits to their sex-
uality.
Theywantedtomake
sure we couldnt be
bribed, Marra says.
Clearance could take
up to a year. During that
time, employees worked
on relatively minor tasks
in a building dubbed the mush-
room tank so named because
everyone was in the dark about
what they had actually been hired
for.
Joseph Prusak, 76, spent six
months in the tank. When he was
finally briefed on Hexagon, Pru-
sak, who had worked as an engi-
neer on earlier civil space projects,
wondered if he had made the big-
gest mistake of his life.
I thought they were crazy, he
says. They envisaged a satellite
that was 60-foot long and 30,000
pounds and supplying film at
speeds of 200 inches per second.
The precision and complexity
blew my mind.
Several years later, after numer-
ous successful launches, he was
shown what Hexagon was capable
of an image of his own house in
suburban Fairfield.
This was light years before
Google Earth, Prusak said. And
we couldclearly see the pool inmy
backyard.
Therehadbeenearlier spacespy
satellites Corona and Gambit.
But neither had the resolution or
sophistication of Hexagon, which
took close-range pictures of Soviet
missiles, submarine pens and air
bases, even entire battalions on
war exercises.
According to the National Re-
connaissanceOffice, asingleHexa-
gon frame covered a ground dis-
tance of 370 nautical miles, about
the distance from Washington to
Cincinnati. Early Hexagons aver-
aged 124 days in space, but as the
satellites became more sophisti-
cated, later missions lasted twice
as long.
At the height of the Cold War,
our ability to receive this kind of
technical intelligence was incredi-
ble, says space historian Dwayne
Day. We needed to know what
they were doing and where they
were doing it, and in particular if
they were preparing to invade
Western Europe. Hexagon created
a tremendous amount of stability
because it meant American deci-
sion makers were not operating in
the dark.
Among other successes, Hexa-
gon is credited with providing cru-
cial information for the Strategic
Arms Limitation Talks between
the United States and the Soviet
Union in the 1970s.
From the outset, secrecy was a
hugeconcern, especiallyinDanbu-
ry, where the intense activity of a
relatively small company that had
just been awarded a massive con-
tract (theamount was not declassi-
fied) made it obvious that some-
thing big was going on. Inside the
plant, it was impossible todisguise
the gigantic vacuum thermal
chamber where cameras were test-
ed in extreme conditions that sim-
ulated space.
The question became, how do
you hide an elephant? a National
Reconnaissance Office report
stated at the time. It decided on a
simpleresponse: What elephant?
Employees were toldtoignore any
questions fromthemedia, andnev-
er confirm the slightest detail
about what they worked on.
But it was impossible to conceal
the launches at Vandenberg Air
Force base in California, and avia-
tion magazines made several refer-
ences to Big Bird. In 1975, a 60
Minutes television piece on space
reconnaissance described an Al-
ice in Wonderland world, where
American and Soviet intelligence
officials knewof each others eyes
in the sky and other nations
did, too but no one confirmed
the programs or spoke about them
publicly.
For employees at Perkin-Elmer,
the vowof secrecy was considered
a mark of honor.
It was morethanaswornoath,
said Oscar Berendsohn, 87, who
helped design the optics system.
We had been entrusted with the
security of the country. What grea-
ter trust is there?
Evenwives whocouldnt con-
tact their husbands or know of
their whereabouts whentheywere
traveling for the most part ac-
cepted the secrecy. They knewthe
jobs were highly classified. They
knew not to ask questions.
We were born into the World
War II generation, says Linda
Bronico, whose husband, Al, told
her only that he was building test
consoles and cables. We all knew
the slogan loose lips sink ships.
And Perkin-Elmer was consid-
ered a prized place to work, with
goodsalaries andbenefits, golf and
softball leagues, lavish summer
picnics (the company would hire
an entire amusement park for em-
ployees and their families) and
dazzling childrens Christmas par-
ties.
We loved it, Marra says. It
was our life.
For Marra and his former co-
workers, sharing that life and their
long-held secret has unleashed a
jumble of emotions, from pride to
nostalgia to relief and in some
cases, grief.
The citys mayor, Mark Bought-
on, only discovered that his father
had worked on Hexagon when he
was invited to speak at an October
reunion ceremony on the grounds
of the former plant. His father, Do-
nald Boughton, also a former may-
or, was too ill to attend and died
days later.
Boughton said for years he and
his siblings wouldpester his father
a draftsman about what he
did. Eventually they realized that
the topic was off limits.
Learning about Hexagon
makes me view him completely
differently, Boughton says. He
was more than just my Dad with
the hair-trigger temper and pas-
sionate opinions about everything.
He was a Cold War warrior doing
something incredibly important
for our nation.
A Cold War secret is finally revealed decades later
Hexagon workers were
forbidden to speak about
their greatest achievement.

ESCONDIDO, Calif. Del-
fino Aldama was fixing a cus-
tomers brakes this month
when his smartphone chimed
with a text message that
tipped him to a police check-
point more than an hour before
officers began stopping motori-
sts. The self-employed auto
mechanic frantically called
friends with the location and
drove an alternate route home.
The Mexico native had rea-
son to be alarmed: He does not
have a drivers license because
he is in the United States ille-
gally, and it would cost about
$1,400 to get his Nissan Fron-
tier pickup back from the tow-
ing company. He has breathed
a little easier since he began
getting blast text messages
two years ago from activists
who scour streets to find
checkpoints as they are being
set up.
The cat-and-mouse game
ends Jan. 1 when a new law
takes effect in California to
prohibit police from impound-
ing cars at sobriety check-
points if a motorists only of-
fense is being an unlicensed
driver. Thousands of cars are
towed each year in the state
under those circumstances, hit-
ting pocketbooks of illegal im-
migrants especially hard.
When Aldamas 1992 Honda
Civic was towed from a check-
point years ago, he quit his job
frying chickens at a fast-food
restaurant because he had no
way to make the 40-mile round
trip to work. He abandoned the
car rather than pay about
$1,200 in fees.
A car is a necessity, its not
a luxury, said the 35-year-old
Aldama, who lives in Escondi-
do with his wife, who is a legal
resident, and their 5-year-old
son, a U.S. citizen.
Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, a
Los Angeles Democrat who
tried unsuccessfully to restore
driver licenses to illegal immi-
grants after California revoked
the privilege in 1993, said he
introduced the bill to ban tow-
ing after learning the noto-
riously corrupt city of Bell
raked in big fees from unlicens-
ed drivers at checkpoints.
A sharp increase in federally
funded sobriety checkpoints in
California has fueled controver-
sy. The National Highway Traf-
fic Safety Administration paid
for 2,553 checkpoints last year,
which authorities say helps ex-
plain why deaths caused by
drunken drivers dropped to an
all-time low in the state.
Police also ask for drivers
licenses at the sobriety check-
points. Supporters of the vehi-
cle impounds say unlicensed
drivers are also a roadside haz-
ard and that the new law is
misguided.
Its a terrible law, really dis-
appointing, said Jim Maher,
who sharply expanded check-
points in Escondido after being
named police chief in 2006.
All but three U.S. states
New Mexico, Utah and Wash-
ington deny drivers licens-
es to illegal immigrants but
controversy over checkpoints
has been strongest in Califor-
nia. Cedillo believes thats be-
cause a 1995 state law has al-
lowed police to impound vehi-
cles from unlicensed drivers
for 30 days, resulting in fees
that can easily top $1,000.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. A high-
techhelicopter has helpedSheriff
Kevin Walsh chase down fugi-
tives, airlift accident victims and
spearhead search-and-rescue
missions in the Syracuse region
of central NewYorksince1999. In
2012, Air-1 could be grounded by
budget cuts.
Walshs proposed solution?
Slap a corporate logo on the Bell
407 chopper to raise ad revenue
and keep her flying.
We (police) have put up with
donut jokes for our entire exist-
ence. I thinkwe cantolerate jokes
about the Price Chopper chopper
or the Wegmans whirlybird
showing up, Walsh said, refer-
ring to two supermarket chains.
I dont like the idea of our having
to fund public services with pri-
vate donations, but the option is
not to have that public service.
While hawking naming rights
for municipal stadiums, parks,
mass-transit stations and other
public entities is nothing newfor
the nations cash-strapped cities,
sponsorship deals with police
agencies are much less common,
and typically
less lucrative.
On top of
that, watchdog
groups and
many in uni-
form are wa-
ry about poten-
tial conflicts
when law en-
forcement co-
zies up with ad-
vertisers, such
as officers pos-
sibly looking
the other way
on matters in-
volving corpo-
rate sponsors.
I feel very
confident my
officers
wouldnt be
compromised,
said John Kelly,
police chief of
Littleton, Mass. A town-ap-
proved $12,000-a-year contract
with a grocery chain pays for one
of Kellys five patrol cars. In re-
turn, the cruiser has been
adorned for nine years with a
modest Donelans Supermarkets
bumper sticker.
Kelly said hes endured plenty
of flack, but my positionis I have
to give my officers tools to pro-
vide the necessary services our
citizens paid for. At 2:30 in the
morning, someone laying out on
a local highway because of an ac-
cident really doesnt care whos
paying for the cruiser or what it
says on its side.
In 2002, dozens of cities jump-
edat anoffer by a Charlotte, N.C.,
company to provide new police
cars for $1 each in exchange for
festooning them with race car-
style logos. The venture fizzled,
in part because the line between
tactful and tacky advertising can
be a narrow one, and the compa-
ny has gone out of business.
We cant let cutesy things
subtract frommakingus lookse-
rious, said police Chief Philip
Thorne in Springfield, Fla
It sounded like a good idea,
recalled Bruce Owens, police
chief in Summerville, S.C. But
the main concern is the potential
ethical issues you might encoun-
ter, because no one gives some-
thing for nothing.

CONCORD, N.H. Mitt
Romneys wife gushes about his
silly side and devotion to their
five sons and 16 grandchildren.
Rick Santorums college-age
daughter opines online about
missing the campus coffee shop
and chats with friends about
their Friday night plans. Jon
Huntsmans daughters generate
much-neededbuzzforhimwitha
joint Twitter account and online
videos, including at least one
that went viral.
Days away from voting in the
Republicanpresidential race, the
pathtothenominationis quickly
becoming a crowded family af-
fair with spouses and offspring
pitching in and doing far more
than just smiling from the side-
lines.
Ann Romney, Anita Perry and
Callista Gingrich are starring in
new TV ads for the husbands
theyve loyally campaigned for.
Romney extols her husbands
character and says to me that
makes a huge difference in a
candidate. Perry tells the old-
fashioned American story of
how she and her husband were
high school sweethearts who
had to wait until he was done fly-
ing airplanes around the world
for the Air Force before they
could marry. Callista Gingrich
wishes the nation a Merry
Christmas from our family to
yours in husband Newt Gin-
grichs new holiday-themed TV
ad.
Candidate kids, including
those born to Michele Bach-
mann and Ron Paul, are helping,
too, acting as surrogates, strate-
gists and, in some cases, sound-
ingboardsfor parentscompeting
for the right to challenge Presi-
dent Barack Obama next fall.
There are times when I won-
der why Imnot sitting inthe cof-
fee shop on campus with my
friends, lightheartedly discuss-
ing (Saturday Night Live) vid-
eos, how bad the cafeteria is,
what our plans are for Friday
night or how absolutely
swamped we are with school
work, Santorums daughter Eli-
zabeth lamented in a recent blog
post. But this is where God
wanted me.
Shehas takentimeoff fromher
junior year at the University of
Dallas to serve as a self-de-
scribed field staffer/phone
banker/chauffeur/surrogate
speaker,forherfather, primarily
in the leadoff caucus state of Io-
wa.
Her father, who hopes Iowas
socially conservative voters turn
out for him on caucus night Jan.
3, rolled out an ad late last week
featuring the entire Santorum
clan, including the family Ger-
man shepherd, Schotzy.

Republican presidential candidate, former Mass. Gov. Mitt Rom-
ney and his wife Ann campaign in Concord, N.H.
DES MOINES, Iowa Its
been a different presidential race
in Iowa this year quieter.
Campaign headquarters have
hardly been buzzing with activ-
ity, unlike the around-the-clock
nature of past contests. Candi-
dates have barely visited the
state, compared with years
when most all but moved here.
And they have largely refrained
from building the grass-roots ar-
mies of yesteryear, in favor of
more modest on-the-ground
teams of paid staffers and volun-
teers.
The final rush of campaigning
here gets under way today, just a
week before the Jan. 3 caucuses,
and, to be sure, there will be a
flurry of candidate appearances
and get-out-the-vote efforts all
week.
But that will belie the reality
of much of 2011, a year marked
by a less aggressive personal
courtship of Iowans in a cam-
paign that, instead, has largely
gravitated around a series of 13
nationally televised debates, a
crush of television ads and in-
terviews on media outlets
watched by many Republican
primary voters, like Fox News
Channel.
We just havent had as much
face time, Republican chairwo-
man Trudy Caviness in Wapello
County said. Thats why were
so undecided.
Indeed, people here simply
dont know the Republican pres-
idential candidates that well.
And its a big reason why the
contest in Iowa is so volatile and
why the caucus outcome could
end up being more representa-
tive of the mood of national Re-
publicans than in past years
when GOP activists here have
gone it alone by launching an
unlikely front-runner to the top
of the field.
With a week to go, the state of
the race in Iowa generally mir-
rors the race from coast to coast.
Polls show Newt Gingrich, the
former House speaker, having
lost ground and Texas Rep. Ron
Paul having risen, with both still
in contention with former Mas-
sachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at
the head of the pack. All the oth-
ers competing in Iowa Texas
Gov. Rick Perry, Minnesota Rep.
Michele Bachmann and former
Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santo-
rum are trailing.
But, in a sign that the contest
is anyones to win, most polls
have shown most Republican
caucusgoers undecided and will-
ing to change their minds before
the contest.
Presidential race in Iowa
is quieter than past years
Candidates have barely visited
the state with just a week
before Jan. 3 caucuses.

Editorial
I dont think they understand
from fantasyland whats happening
in real America.
Mitt Romney
The contender for the Republican presidential
nomination last week accused the Obama
administration of being out of touch on the economic realities for many
Americans.
RECENTLY, GOV. Tom
Corbett has endorsed legisla-
tion that would require every
Pennsylvanian to present
photo ID each time he or
she voted, regardless of how
long the person had been
voting at that poll.
They could not vote without ID even if the
poll workers knew them to be who they said
they were. If a poll worker allowed someone
to vote who was a friend or neighbor and had
been voting at that poll for 30 years, the work-
er would be committing a crime and risking a
prison sentence.
The governor claims that this bill is neces-
sary to prevent widespread voter fraud.
However, this bill would do nothing to stop
any voter fraud that happens in our state. It
would, however, disenfranchise hundreds of
thousands of long-voting Pennsylvanians
who, conveniently enough for our Republican
governor, tend to vote Democratic.
In support of this bill, Secretary of the
Department of State Carol Aichele points
only to allegations that the group ACORN
committed improprieties while registering
voters. Assuming the truth of those allega-
tions, this bill has nothing to do with, and
would have no impact on voter registration
practices. The only form of fraud that voter
ID would prevent is voter impersonation. But
voter impersonation almost never happens.
A five-year study conducted by President
Bushs Justice Department found that out of
more than 300 million votes, there were only
86 cases of individual voter fraud nationwide,
and most of them involved immigrants who
misunderstood their eligibility. In Pennsylva-
nia since 2004, there have been more than 20
million votes cast and four convictions of
fraud, all involving people registering when
not eligible. None of these cases involved
someone pretending to be someone they
were not.
It is important to remember that fraudu-
lently impersonating a voter is already a
felony. Risking years in prison to gain an
undeserved vote seems like a low-gain, high-
risk crime, which is probably why it never
happens. In addition, a voter already has to
show proof of who they are the first time they
vote in a new precinct.
The Corbett administration also claims that
a Department of State analysis shows that
99 percent of eligible voters currently have
acceptable photo IDs. I called the depart-
ment and asked how that figure was calculat-
ed. It turns out that the staffers took the total
number of photo IDs that the state Depart-
ment of Transportation has issued and divid-
ed by the number of eligible voters in Penn-
sylvania.
The problem is there are many thousands
of currently valid IDs issued to people who
have died, have moved, are legal non-citizen
immigrants or are not eligible to vote for
other reasons. Thus, it is misleading and
irresponsible to connect the numbers of IDs
and voters in this context.
After I publicized this critique of its metho-
dology, the Department of State changed its
claim of how many people have valid IDs
from 99 percent to the vast majority. It
does not define vast majority, but it clearly
means something significantly less than 99
percent.
It is more likely that the number of Penn-
sylvania voters without photo IDs is close to
the national figures, which are startling. Ac-
cording to the Washington Post, 11 percent of
all Americans lack photo ID including 20
percent of voters under age 29, 15 percent of
those earning under $35,000 per year and a
full quarter of all blacks.
What all of this means is that to solve a
problem that does not exist in our state, we
are going to disenfranchise approximately
700,000 Pennsylvania voters. These voters
poor people, blacks and students tend to
disproportionately vote Democratic.
This appears to be yet another cynical
effort to rig future elections by people who
seemingly have no respect for the democratic
process and whose only concern is winning. It
is ironic that this effort is occurring in the
state where representative democracy was
born.
Photo ID legislation will only disenfranchise voters

HE UNEXPECTED
death of Kim Jong Il,
leader of the Demo-
cratic Peoples Repub-
lic of Korea, has taken the
world by surprise.
As a close neighbor with
friendly ties with the DPRK,
China was shocked
by the news and it
has expressed its
deepcondolences to
the DPRK and its
people. Kim had
dedicated his life to
the DPRKs revolu-
tion and construc-
tion.
As a close friend
of theChinesepeople, Kimhad
pushed the traditional friend-
ship between China and the
DPRK to a new level.
Beijing and Pyongyang have
enjoyed a long tradition of
friendship, forged by genera-
tions of leaders. It is hoped our
neighbor will continue its en-
deavor to build an economical-
ly stronger DPRKunder a new
leadership.
We believe China and the
DPRK will continue to inject
newvitality into their strategic
and long-term relations in the
light of the changing realities
in the world.
Economic and trade cooper-
ation between the two coun-
tries has shown a
strong momen-
tum in recent
years and two ec-
onomic zones
are now being
jointly devel-
oped. The two
neighbors have
also expanded
their exchanges
into fields such as culture, edu-
cation, sports and science and
technology.
A stable DPRK is a blessing
to both its people and the re-
gion. Pyongyangs commit-
ment to peace and stability in
the Korean Peninsula is in its
own interests and best serves
its regional responsibilities.

T WAS NOT the most
promising sign of change
in North Korea that the
death of Kim Jong Il was
marked by the test-firing of a
short-range missile off the trou-
bled peninsulas east coast.
The countrys military rulers
evidently were intent on dem-
onstrating that the bellicose
isolationism of the dear lead-
er hadnot diedwithhim. Even
thoughPyongyangs chosendy-
nastic successor, his third son
Kim Jong Un, was educated in
the West, the prospect of anim-
mediate transformation in this
bizarre country is remote.
Devotion to the cult of the
leader often supersedes any
form of rational debate after
all, unquestioning loyalty to
Kim Jong Il resulted in an esti-
mated 2 million of North Ko-
reas 24 million population dy-
ing of starvation.
There is also the unresolved
issue of North Koreas nuclear
program, which has resulted in
further international isolation
over the refusal to freeze its de-
velopment of such weapons.
Achange of leadership could
providetheperfect opportunity
for the regime to re-evaluate its
nuclear ambitions andthus end
decades of isolation from the
outside world.

HE NUMBER OF
doctors there are
nearly 70,000 and
their salaries are both
at all-time highs. More Cana-
dians have a family doctor than
in years past, proof that pro-
gress has been made. But ac-
cess to them is among the
worst in the world. How can
that be?
Only half of Canadians are
able to see their doctors the
same day they become sick.
Queues for specialists are espe-
cially worrisome, with 41 per-
cent of patients waiting two
months or more, according to
The Commonwealth Funds
study of 11 countries.
Canadians shouldnt fool
themselves into thinking poor
access is the inevitable conse-
quence of a publicly funded
health care system. Patients in
the Netherlands and Germany
have rapid access to special-
ists, much like Americans
where private care prevails.
Our system is simply not effi-
cient.
The privilege of being doc-
tors who have a monopoly on
providing medical care carries
with it an ethical, social re-
sponsibility. That should in-
clude making patients the cen-
ter of care.

Hydropower has no place
at Francis Walter dam
I
was amazed to learn in The Times Lead-
ers Dec. 17 edition that Symbiotics LLC,
a subsidiary of Riverbank Power from
Utah, has submitted a preliminary permit
application with the Federal Energy Regu-
latory Commission to conduct a feasibility
study on the construction of a hydropower
facility at the Francis E. Walter dam in
Bear Creek Township.
This is an outrage that must be stopped
immediately by our elected representa-
tives.
The Francis E. Walter dam and its sur-
rounding area are jewels that provide recre-
ational facilities unmatched in the Luzerne
County/Carbon County area. Most of the
land, including a superb state game land,
has been preserved through the hard work
of preservation groups. The Lehigh River
has been recognized as one of the best wild
trout fisheries east of the Mississippi River.
It also provides unrestricted canoeing,
kayaking and rafting, including boating in
rapids that are created on a regular basis
by the release of water from the dam.
Can you imagine the results of building a
hydroelectric facility in this pristine area?
Not only will there be huge industrial-type
buildings, but also many electric transmis-
sion lines built in all directions.
I am demanding that Congressman Lou
Barletta immediately take action to have
this permit application denied. He should
ask if this project is associated with the
electric transmission line that has been
proposed by PPL in the Bear Creek Town-
ship vicinity.
We already have been hoodwinked by
the Marcellus Shale natural gas industry,
and we need to stop this assault on our
environment before it starts!
Please join me in sending letters and
emails to Congressman Barletta.

LONDON The loose-knit hacking
movement Anonymous claimed Sun-
day to have stolen thousands of credit
card numbers and other personal in-
formation belonging to clients of U.S.-
based security think tank Stratfor. One
hacker said the goal was to pilfer funds
from individuals accounts to give away
as Christmas donations, and some vic-
tims confirmed unauthorized transac-
tions linked to their credit cards.
Anonymous boasted of stealing
Stratfors confidential client list, which
includes entities ranging from Apple to
the U.S. Air Force to the Miami Police
Department, and mining it for more
than 4,000 credit card numbers, pass-
words and home addresses.
Not so private and secret anymore?
the group taunted in a message on
Twitter, promising that the attack on
Stratfor was just the beginning of a
Christmas-inspired assault on a long
list of targets.
Anonymous said the client list it
posted was a small slice of the 200
gigabytes worth of plunder it stole
from Stratfor and promised more leaks.
It said it was able to get the credit
details in part because Stratfor didnt
bother encrypting them an easy-to-
avoid blunder which, if true, would be
a major embarrassment for any securi-
ty-related company.
Austin, Texas-based Stratfor provides
political, economic and military analy-
sis to help clients reduce risk, accord-
ing to a description on its YouTube
page. It charges subscribers for its re-
ports and analysis, delivered through
the web, emails and videos.
Lt. Col. John Dorrian, public affairs
officer for the Air Force, said that for
obvious reasons the Air Force doesnt
discuss specific vulnerabilities, threats
or responses to them.
Miami Police Department spokes-
man Sgt. Freddie Cruz Jr. said that he
could not confirm that the agency was
a client of Stratfor, and he said he had
not received any information about a
security breach involving the police de-
partment.
It soon became clear that proprietary
information about the companies and
government agencies that subscribe to
Stratfors newsletters did not appear to
be at any significant risk, and that the
main threat was posed to individual
employees.
Hours after publishing what it
claimed was Stratfors client list, Anon-
ymous tweeted a link to encrypted files
online with the names, addresses and
account details.
Not as many as you expected? Wor-
ry not, fellow pirates and robin hoods.
These are just the As, read a mess-
age posted online that encouraged
readers to download a file of the
hacked information.
It also linked to images online that it
suggested were receipts for charitable
donations made by the group manip-
ulating the credit card data it stole.
Thank you! Defense Intelligence
Agency, read the text above one image
that appeared to show a transaction
summary indicating that an agency em-
ployees information was used to do-
nate $250 to a non-profit.
One receipt to the American Red
Cross had Allen Barrs name on it.
Barr, of Austin, Texas, recently re-
tired from the Texas Department of
Banking and said he discovered last
Friday that a total of $700 had been
spent from his account. Barr, who has
spent more than a decade dealing with
cybercrime at banks, said five trans-
actions were made in total.
It was all charities, the Red Cross,
CARE, Save the Children. So when the
credit card company called my wife she
wasnt sure whether I was just donat-
ing, said Barr, who wasnt aware until
a reporter with the AP called that his
information had been compromised
when Stratfors computers were
hacked.
It made me feel terrible. It made my
wife feel terrible. We had to close the
account.
Stratfor said in an email to members
that it had suspended its servers and
email after learning that its website
had been hacked.
We have reason to believe that the
names of our corporate subscribers
have been posted on other web sites,
said the email, passed on to The Asso-
ciated Press by subscribers. We are
diligently investigating the extent to
which subscriber information may
have been obtained.
The email, signed by Stratfor Chief
Executive George Friedman, said the
company is working closely with law
enforcement to identify who is behind
the breach.
Repeated calls to Stratfor went unan-
swered Sunday.

life.
Elsewhere, Christmas was
celebrated with the typical joy
of the season: In Cuba, Catholi-
cs had plenty to cheer as they
prepared for Benedicts March
arrival, the first visit by a pontiff
to the Communist-run island
since John Paul IIs historic tour
nearly 14 years ago.
We have faith in God that we
will be allowed to have this
treat, said Rogelio Montes de
Oca, 72, as he stood outside the
Cathedral in Old Havana. Not
every country will have the
chance to see him physically
and receive his blessing.
And in the Holy Land, pil-
grims and locals alike flocked to
Jesus traditional birthplace in
numbers not seen since before
the Palestinian uprising over a
decade ago, despite lashing
rains and wind.
We wanted to be part of the
action, said Don Moore, 41, a
psychology professor from Ber-
keley, Calif., who came to Be-
thlehem with his family. This
is the place, this is where it all
started. It doesnt get any more
special than that.
The holy town of Bethlehem
is no stranger to violence. Like
the rest of the West Bank, it fell
on hard times after the Pal-
estinian uprising against Israeli
occupation broke out in late
2000.
But as the violence has sub-
sided, tourists have returned in
large numbers. On Saturday,
turnout for Christmas Eve fes-
tivities in Bethlehem was at its
highest since the uprising began
driving tourists away. An esti-
mated 100,000 visitors streamed
into Manger Square on Christ-
mas Eve, up from 70,000 the
previous year, according to the
Israeli militarys count.
The Holy Land and the entire
Mideast were very much on
Benedicts mind as he delivered
his Christmas speech from the
sun-drenched loggia of St. Pe-
ters Basilica. The 84-year-old
pontiff appeared in fine form,
just hours after celebrating a
two-hour-long Christmas Eve
Mass that ended around mid-
night.
May the Lord
come to the aid of our
world torn by so
many conflicts which
even today stain the
earth with blood,
Benedict said.
He said he hoped
that the birth of Je-
sus, which Christmas
celebrates, would
send a message to all
who need to be saved
from hardships: that
Israelis and the Pal-
estinians would re-
sume peace talks and
that there would be
an end to the vio-
lence in Syria, where
so much blood has already been
shed.
He called for international
assistance for refugees from the
Horn of Africa and flood victims
in Thailand, among others, and
urged greater political dialogue
in Myanmar, and stability in
Iraq, Afghanistan and Africas
Great Lakes region, which in-
cludes Congo, Uganda and
Rwanda.
After his speech, Benedict
delivered Christmas greetings
in 65 different languages, from
Mongolian to Maori, Aramaic to
Albanian, Tamil to Thai. He
finished the list with Guarani
and Latin, as the bells tolled
from St. Peters enormous bell
towers.
In the piazza below, thou-
sands of jubilant tourists and
pilgrims, and hundreds of col-
orful Swiss Guards and Italian
military bands mingled around
the Vaticans giant Christmas
tree and larger-than-life sized
nativity scene.
In the U.K., the leader of the
worlds Anglicans, the Archbish-
op of Canterbury, said the sum-
mer riots in Britain and the
financial crisis had
abused trust in
British society.
In his Christmas
Day sermon, Rowan
Williams appealed
to those congregat-
ed at Canterbury
Cathedral to learn
lessons about mu-
tual obligation
from the events of
the past year. He
said Sunday that
the most pressing
question now
facing Britain is
who and where we
are as a society.
Bonds have been
broken, trust abused and lost,
he said.
Britains royal family, mean-
while, celebrated Christmas
with one notable absence.
Queen Elizabeth IIs husband
Prince Philip remained hospital-
ized after having a coronary
stent put in after doctors deter-
mined the heart pains that sent
him to the hospital on Friday
were caused by a blocked ar-
tery.
Elizabeths annual Christmas
message dealt with the theme
of family. The message was
recorded Dec. 9, before Philip
went into the hospital.
Wearing a festive red dress,
the Queen said that the impor-
tance of family was driven
home by the marriages of two
of her grandchildren this year.
Elizabeth spoke of the strength
family can provide during times
of hardship and how friendships
are often formed in difficult
times.
She pointed to the Common-
wealth nations as an example
that family does not necessar-
ily mean blood relatives but
often a description of a commu-
nity.
And in the United States,
members of the loose-knit hack-
ing movement known as Anon-
ymous claimed to have stolen a
raft of e-mails and credit card
data from U.S. security think
tank Stratfor, promising a week-
long Christmas-inspired assault
on targets including the U.S.
Army, the U.S. Air Force, Gold-
man Sachs and MF Global.

LOS ANGELES Tom
Cruises latest mission has won
a holiday weekend thats shap-
ing up with some silent nights
at movie theaters as business
continues to lag.
Studio estimates Sunday
placed Cruises Mission: Im-
possible Ghost Protocol a
solid No. 1 with $26.5 million
domestically over its first week-
end in full release. The movie
raised its total to $59 million
since it started a week earlier in
huge-screen cinemas and ex-
panded nationwide last
Wednesday, and distributor Par-
amount estimated that reve-
nues will reach $72.7 million by
today.
Cruises fourth Mission
flick was a bright spot over a
Christmas weekend filled with
so-so tidings for Hollywood,
whose usually busy holiday
stretch since Thanksgiving has
been a bust.
Generally well-reviewed mo-
vies from Steven Spielberg
(The Adventures of Tintin),
David Fincher (The Girl with
the Dragon Tattoo) and Cam-
eron Crowe (We Bought a
Zoo) with casts that include
Matt Damon, Scarlett Johans-
son and Daniel Craig opened
with modest to weak results.
Despite predictions from stu-
dio executives that 2011 could
be a record-setter that would
finish with a bang, domestic
revenues remained stuck at a
sluggish pace that has lingered
all year.
Hollywood should finish the
year with $10.1 billion domes-
tically, down 4.5 percent from
2010, according to box-office
tracker Hollywood.com.
The picture gets worse taking
into account higher ticket pric-
es, which mean Hollywood
brings in fewer fans for each
dollar spent. Actual domestic
attendance for 2011 will close
out at about 1.27 billion, down
5.3 percent from the previous
years and the lowest head
count since 1995, when admis-
sions totaled 1.26 billion.
Thank God 2011 is almost
over, because weve had a real
rough run here at the end of the
year, said Hollywood.com ana-
lyst Paul Dergarabedian. We al-
ways count on the holiday sea-
son to give us a big boost at the
end of the year, and it just
didnt happen.
These admission numbers
this year just tell me that we
maybe have to set our sights a
little lower in terms of attend-
ance every year.

GREENBAY, Wis. AaronRodgers hadthe
first five-touchdowngame of his career, andthe
GreenBayPackersclinchedtheNo.1seedinthe
NFCplayoffs with a 35-21vic-
tory over the rival Chicago
Bears onSunday night.
Rodgers threw a pair of
touchdowns to Jordy Nelson,
another two to James Jones,
and found Jermichael Finley
for a score for the Packers
(14-1), who secured home-
fieldadvantage inthe NFC.
The loss eliminated the
Bears (7-8) from playoff con-
tention and put the Atlanta
Falcons in the playoffs as at
least a wildcard.
Third-string running back
Kahlil Bell rushed for 121
yards for the Bears, who
trailed by four early in the
third quarter. But Rodgers
drove the Packers for three quick scores to put
the game out of reach. Backup Matt Flynn took
over for Rodgers with7:54 left inthe game.

PLYMOUTHTwo years ago,
Wyoming Valley West forward Tara
Zdancewicz got her first taste of
playing on a big stage, helping to
lead the Spartans to the PIAA Class
4A state tournament.
Even though they were eliminated
in the first-round, she came away
more determined than ever to repeat
the experience.
Now, the 5-foot-10 senior forward,
is confident that the Spartans (4-2)
have an excellent chance of winning
the District 2 championship and
making a return trip to states.
We have the same capacity and
similar goals that we had two years
ago, Zdancewicz said. Weve got a
very good team and I think were
focused.
Even though Wyoming Valley West
has already suffered early season
losses to Nanticoke and Scranton
Prep, the Spartans captured the Tip
Off Tournament. Zdancewicz is con-
fident they will greatly benefit from a

NBA SEASON OPENS
NEW YORK Carmelo An-
thony and the Knicks know it
will never be easy against the
Celtics.
Not beating them in one
game, and certainly not beating
them for a division title.
But pulling out the kind of
nail biter thats long gone Bos-
tons way in this rivalry only
reinforced the Knicks belief
that they can do it and even
the Celtics see a difference.
Anthony scored 37 points, in-
cluding a pair of free throws
with the game tied and 16 sec-
onds left, and New York sur-
vived a seesaw season opener
Sunday to edge the Celtics 106-
104.
Most importantly for us, as a
new team, we showed some-
thing, Anthony said. We came
together as a team. Even when
we got down, there wasnt no
frowns. Nobody was down.
Mentally everybody was still up
about it, and we willed our way
to this win.
Amare Stoudemire added 21
points and Toney Douglas had
19 for the Knicks, who led by 17
in the first half, trailed by 10 in
the fourth quarter, then pulled
out a thrilling Christmas victo-
ry in the delayed opener to the
2011-12 season.
Rajon Rondo had 31 points
and 13 assists, nearly leading
the Celtics back without an in-
jured Paul Pierce. But Kevin
Garnett missed a jumper just
before the buzzer, the kind of

CIRCULAR REPORT: On the NFL board, the 49ers - Rams game is circled since
San Francisco has clinched a playoff spot and might be resting some of its starters.
The line could swing a few points in either direction as more information becomes
available during the week; the Cowboys - Giants circle is for Dallas QB Tony Romo
(probable).
NO LINE REPORT: On the NFL board, there is no line on the Steelers - Browns
game due to Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger (questionable).

NEWORLEANS Ever since
Drew Brees arrived in the Big
Easy, hes made playing quarter-
back in the NFL look easy.
Brees has 27,698 yards passing
since arriving in New Orleans in
2006, more than any other NFL
quarterback during that span.
Before that, though, he had
never thrown for as many as
4,000yards ina season, andspent
much of his first five years in the
NFL looking over his shoulder in
San Diego.
We had experienced success
in San Diego in my last two years
there, but I just never got the feel-
ing that everybody there was all
in with me, Brees recalled this
week as he prepared for Monday
nights meeting with Atlanta.
Brees now believes he needed
what Matt Ryan has had since be-
ingdraftedby the Falcons in2008
the full and unwavering sup-
port of not just his head coach,
but the entire organization.
Brees found that in New Or-
leans, which in the months after
Hurricane Katrina needed some-
one like him someone with
something to prove as much
as he neededa teamthat believed
he could be the cornerstone of its
success.
It was nice to ... walk into an
organization where I just got the
feeling like everybody believedin
me, Brees said. Sometimes
thats all youneed. All youneedis
somebody to believe in you and
then, obviously, my mindset was
Im not going to let these guys
down. They have a lot invested in
me, so I want to prove them
right.
Hes certainly done that.
Brees has thrown for no fewer
than 4,388 yards in a single sea-
son with New Orleans. In 2008,
he threatened Dan Marinos 1984
single-season yards passing re-
cord of 5,084, finishing with
5,069. In 2009, Brees set an NFL
record for single-season comple-
tion percentage with 70.6 while
leading the Saints to their first
Super Bowl, in which Brees was
selected MVP.
This season, Brees is complet-
ing 71.5 percent of his passes,
threatening his own record, and
with two games left is only 305
yards passing away from break-
ing Marinos mark.
Hes operating at a level that
we probably havent seen, Atlan-
ta coachMike Smithsaid. Its go-
ing to be a challenge for us.
While Ryan is not quite operat-
ing on Brees level, he has done
just what Atlanta neededlately to
keep New Orleans from running
away with the NFC South.
Ryan passed for 320 yards in a
winat Carolina twoweeks ago. In
a lopsided victory over Jackson-
ville, he completed 73 percent of
his passes (19 of 26) for 224
yards.
Weve had opportunities to
make plays the entire year, but
weve made them the last couple
of weeks, Ryan said. Weve had
a better sense of urgency. I think
everybodys locked in during our
meetings, during our practice, re-
ally during the games, too. Were
at that point of the year where
theres not a whole lot more time.
Its time to start making those
plays and I think guys are taking
advantage of that.
If the Falcons pull out a win,
theyll clinch a wild card and re-
main in the hunt to defend their
NFC South title. The Saints
would wrap up their second divi-
sion crown in three seasons if
they win.
Oddsmakers have made the
Saints 7-point favorites, which is
understandable, given that Brees
is in the midst of one of the great-
est seasons an NFL quarterback
has ever had.
In reflecting on his remarkable
run in New Orleans, Brees was
quick to give much credit to
coach Sean Payton.
He brought out a confidence
in me that I didnt have before,
Brees said of Payton. Ive always
been a really confident guy, but I
think there were certain things
that might not have ever come
out unless I was with him.
QB Brees: Payton, Saints gave him confidence

The last time the Detroit Lions
made the NFL playoffs, Barry
Sanders was their star.
Theyre back, for the first time
in12 years, earning an NFCwild-
card berth by beating San Diego
38-10, knocking the Chargers
from contention Saturday.
This is an accomplishment,
coach Jim Schwartz said. Its a
big step for our team and our or-
ganization.
The Lions gave owner William
Clay Ford the game ball.
Detroit (10-5) plays at NFC
North champion Green Bay next
Sunday before going on the road
in the wild-card round.
New England, which already
owns the AFCEast title, grabbed
a first-round bye with a 27-24
comeback victory against Miami.
The Patriots (12-3) will have
home-field advantage through-
out the AFC playoffs if they beat
Buffalo next week.
Its goodtoclinch, saidDeion
Branch, whocaught atouchdown
pass fromTomBrady, but not by
the way we played. Its not the
way you want to do it.
The Dolphins led 17-0 at half-
time before New England storm-
ed back.
The New York Giants beat the
local rival Jets 29-14 to tie Dallas
at 8-7 atop the NFC East. The
Cowboys, who lost 20-7 to Phila-
delphia, visit the Giants next
Sunday night, with the winner
taking the division, the loser go-
ing home.
Dallas lost to the Giants 37-34
on Dec. 11.
The Giants virtually ended the
Jets shot at the AFCplayoffs in a
sloppy game.
Given everything that was at
stake, and all the noise that has
been coming out of Florham
Park, Giants co-owner John Ma-
ra said of the Jets bragging all
week that they were the better
team, yeah, it means a little
more.
Denvers 40-14 loss at Buffalo
dropped it into a tie atop the AFC
West with Oakland, which beat
Kansas City 16-13 in overtime.
Still, if the Broncos (8-7) beat
Kansas City in Denver next Sun-
day, they take the division.
The Raiders get in if they de-
feat the Chargers in Oakland and
the Chiefs beat the Broncos.
The man told me, Hue, well
win it in the end. I believe that,
said Raiders coach Hue Jackson,
reflecting on a conversation he
had with Al Davis before the
Raiders owner died in October. I
dont knowhowits going to hap-
pen. I dont care howits going to
happen.
Baltimore and Pittsburgh re-
mained atop the AFC North at
11-4, with the Ravens holding the
tiebreaker after sweeping the
Steelers. Baltimore beat Cleve-
land 20-14 and Pittsburgh
blanked St. Louis 27-0.
If the Ravens win at Cincinnati
(9-6) next week, they take the di-
vision and the Steelers get a wild
card. If the Bengals win, they not
only hand the Steelers a chance
to grab the AFC North, but the
Bengals get the last conference
wild card.
Lions are
headed to
playoffs
Lions have clinched wild card ,
while the Patriots have locked
up a first-round bye.
CINCINNATI One victory
away fromanunexpectedplayoff
spot, the Cincinnati Bengals are
already immersed in their big-
gest challenge of the week.
No, its not getting ready for
Baltimore. Its trying to get
somebody to come and watch.
The Bengals (9-6) drewanoth-
er less-than-capacity crowd for
their 23-16 win over Arizona on
Saturday that secured only their
third winning record in the last
21 years. With a victory on Sun-
day over Baltimore, they would
clinch the final AFC wild-card
berth for a chance to win their
first playoff game since the 1990
season.
Big moment. Will there be an-
other small crowd?
Only 41,273fans showedupon
a sunny, 38-degree afternoon to
watch the breakthrough victory
Saturday. Paul Brown Stadium
was more than one-third empty,
and thats been the norm all sea-
son. Players buoyed by the
chance to make the playoffs
wasted no time lobbying for an
audience.
I just want to thank the fans
who were out there today, de-
fensive tackle Domata Peko said.
We really felt you guys out
there, and that helped us out big
time. I really want to encourage
all of the Cincinnati fans to come
out and cheer us on as we try to
make the playoffs.
The franchises two decades of
futility have brought about the
strange situation: a team beg-
ging for fans as it closes in on the
playoffs.
Theres a lot of bad history be-
hind it.
TheBengals went 4-12last sea-
son, when coach Marvin Lewis
essentially played out his con-
tract while looking for an indica-
tion the front office was fully
committedtowinning. After two
days of talks, he agreed to return
even though owner Mike Brown
said publicly that there would be
no significant changes.

tion that we are in. Were just
happy that we are finishing
strong. We have one more game
to play and were going to give it
everything weve got.
Vick and his teammates wast-
ed an opportunity to repeat as
division champions in a me-
diocre NFCEast that will crown
a champion either the Cow-
boys or New York Giants
with no more than nine wins.
The Eagles entered Saturday
at 6-8 and still had a chance to
win the division, but were elim-
inated when the Giants beat the
New York Jets, rendering their
game at Dallas meaningless.
Ive watched this team grow
as the weeks have went on,
Vick said. The last three or four
weeks, weve come together as a
team. Its a family environment,
a family atmosphere and that
translates to winning. Thats
why you see a different team. I
think we are well put together
PHILADELPHIA For all
those super expectations, all the
preseason hype, all the big-
name additions, the Philadel-
phia Eagles are left to ponder all
that went wrong.
Despite their late-season
surge a three-game winning
streak the Eagles (7-8) arent
going to the playoffs. Thats the
reality for this Dream Team.
So before they begin looking
ahead to next season, theyre
thinking about the what ifs?
One play could be the difference
in several of the losses, especial-
ly because the Eagles blew five
fourth-quarter leads.
If we would have gotten into
the playoffs, I feel we would
have definitely done some dam-
age, quarterback Michael Vick
said after Saturdays 20-7 win at
Dallas. Its unfortunate that we
didnt and thats the game of
football. If you make some mis-
takes earlyandyouget behindin
the count in the win/loss co-
lumn, you sell yourself short in
the end and youre in the posi-
and well fit. Were playing to-
gether and thats what its all
about. But it takes time to build
that chemistry, build that unity,
that togetherness. Doing it now,
its exciting for me and theres
not a place that Id rather be
each and every day.
When the Eagles went on a
spending spree and brought in
Nnamdi Asomugha, Jason Ba-
bin, Dominique Rodgers-Cro-
martie, Cullen Jenkins, Steve
Smith, Ronnie Brown and Vince
Young to join a roster that al-
ready had a talented core of star
players, expectations were ele-
vated to perhaps unrealistic lev-
els.
Even management declared
this an all-or-nothing season in
which nothing less than a Super
Bowl victory would be consid-
ered a success. Now the Eagles
are looking back and wondering
how much they really needed
those offseason minicamps and
a full training camp.
We are finishing strong, and
are showing the fans and every-
body else what the true Eagles
could have been, what we could
have been doing at the begin-
ning of the season, Rodgers-
Cromartie said. It just took a
while to get there. We take that
intotheoffseasonanddont look
back.
It seemed the Eagles could be
headed for major changes when
they were 4-8. Fans wanted
coach Andy Reid fired and it ap-
peared offensive-line-coach-
turned-defensive-coordinator
Juan Castillo would lose his job.
But a strong finish could keep
this coaching staff together for
at least another season. Reid is
missing the playoffs for just the
fourth time in13 years, so this is
new territory for many of his
players.
This is an unfamiliar feeling,
an unfamiliar sight, wide re-
ceiver DeSean Jackson said.
Ive never really witnessedthis.
Its a reality check. Look in the
mirror. Everybody has to check
themselves. Hopefully, we can
finish strong and come back in
the offseason or next year,
whenever we are all together,
and really eliminate all the mis-
takes we had early on.
Despite strong finish, no postseason for Philadelphia

SHREVEPORT, La. Big
changes are coming for the foot-
ball programs at Missouri and
North Carolina. Before they
happen, theres one more foot-
ball game to play.
The Tigers and Tar Heels
meet today inthe Independence
Bowl, and both teams have be-
come quite experienced at jug-
gling questions about their
long-term future with the up-
coming matchup. Players and
coaches are adamant the focus
will be squarely on the field.
Were expecting to play our
best game, Missouri coach Ga-
ry Pinkel said. And we expect
North Carolina to play their
best game.
Not that there arent reasons
to be distracted. North Carolina
(7-5) is in the midst of a coach-
ing change, while Missouri
(7-5) is preparing for its move to
the SoutheasternConference af-
ter anacrimonious exit fromthe
Big 12.
The Tar Heels endured more
than their share of turmoil this
season under interim head
coach Everett Withers, who
took over in July after Butch Da-
vis was fired shortly before pre-
season camp in the shadow of
an NCAA investigation.
Withers was a candidate for
the full-time job until last week,
when North Carolina an-
nounced the hiring of Southern
Mississippi coach Larry Fedora.
Fedora takes over the program
immediately after the bowl
game and Withers is headed to
Ohio State, where hell be the
defensive coordinator for new
coach Urban Meyer.
Withers time is already divid-
ed. He said he spent part of his
week making recruiting calls for
the Buckeyes before turning his
focus back to North Carolina.
He expects his teamto handle
any extra adversity without is-
sues. The Tar Heels have cer-
tainly had plenty of practice.
This has been an experience
for all of us, Withers said.
Each player has done an unbe-
lievable job of holding this to-
gether to have the success that
weve hadthe past two years. Its
been remarkable. I havent
looked at it as tumultuous. Ive
looked at it as a life lesson a
journey that you go
through.
Coaching stability isnt a
problem at Missouri (7-5),
where Pinkel is wrapping up his
11th season with a program-re-
cord seventh consecutive bowl
appearance. Instead, its the
move to the SEC thats the con-
stant topic of conversation.
Theres no question about it
this is historically a big mo-
ment with us playing our last
game in the Big12, Pinkel said.
Thats kind of on my shoulders
and on our players shoulders.
This game is important for
many reasons, but it will be re-
membered specifically for that
reason.
While North Carolina and
Missouri share a penchant for
off-field issues, they also have
similar on-field resumes.
Both are talented teams that
have experienced bouts of suc-
cess and failure. Missouri start-
ed the season with a 4-5 record
before consecutive wins over
Texas, Texas Tech and Kansas
earned them the right to go to
the Independence Bowl.
Missouri sophomore quarter-
back James Franklin has thrown
for 2,733 yards and 20 touch-
downs this season while also
rushing for 839 yards and 13
touchdowns. The Tigers de-
fense has given up just 14 points
per game during the recent
three-game winning streak.
Its been kind of an up-and-
down year for us, so itd be nice
to end with four (wins) in a row
and end our time in the Big 12
the way we want to, receiver
T.J. Moe said. And for the guys
who are going to be here next
season, it can be a springboard
into the SEC.
North Carolina started the
season 5-1, but stumbled down
the stretch, losing four of the
last six to finish with a 3-5 ACC
record.
Still, the Tar Heels won their
regular-season finale against
Duke and have one of the best
freshmen running backs in the
country in Giovani Bernard.
The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder
from Davie, Fla., rebounded
from a torn knee ligament last
season to become the programs
first 1,000-yard rusher since
1997.
You see the great running
backs, and theyre with the
great teams, Bernard said.
Thats the main thing. Dwight
Jones has done a great jobcatch-
ing the ball all year and our of-
fensive line has protected me
and Bryn (Renner) amazingly
this year. The credit goes out to
those guys. Im following the
blocks. A little patience helps.
Renner, a sophomore, led the
ACC in passing efficiency and
has thrown for 2,769 yards, 23
touchdowns and 12 intercep-
tions.
Renner said all of the teams
adversity has taken a toll, but al-
so made the Tar Heels resilient.
Though disappointed Withers
wont be around next season to
coach the team, he said the Tar
Heels are determined to send
everyone out a winner.

5 p.m. today, ESPN2
DALLAS While Dirk No-
witzki and the Dallas Maver-
icks were on the court cele-
brating the championship they
won over LeBron James and
Dwyane Wade last season, the
Miami Heat were gathered in
another part of the building.
It wasnt because they dread-
ed watching the ceremony, they
insisted.
They were simply getting
ready to show everyone why
they are favored to win it all
this season.
James and Wade led a series
of scoring waves that put Mia-
mi ahead by 35 points midway
through the third quarter, the
lead peaking when James
soared to the rim and tipped an
alley-oop pass to Wade so he
could have the dunk instead.
The game was essentially over
then, although the Mavs re-
serves fueled a late rally that
made the final score look close,
105-94.
We tried to play aggressive,
James said. Were a focused
team. We had a great training
camp. We came in with the
same mindset we had at prac-
tice, use our speed and play
with mental focus.
James finished with 37
points, 10 rebounds and six
assists. Wade had 26 points,
eight rebounds and six assists.
Miami scored at least 30 points
in each of the first three quar-
ters.
Celebration or not, we had a
game plan and implemented
it, Wade said. We came out
and played a good game.
Maybe the pregame festiv-
ities left the Mavs emotionally
drained because they were
down by 15 after one quarter
and 21 at halftime. They then
gave up 14 straight points early
in the third quarter.
The blowout had less to do
with an emotional hangover
and more to do with exposing
the slow process of breaking in
a new rotation. Dallas lost
center Tyson Chandler and
backup point guard J.J. Barea
and added guard Vince Carter,
do-it-all Lamar Odom and back-
up guard Delonte West.
Were going to have to forge
an identity with this team; its a
different team, Mavs coach
Rick Carlisle said. Thats work,
and its going to take honesty,
and its not going to be easy.
Carter took Dallas first two
shots, an 18-footer and a layup.
Both missed. West started the
second half in his place and
finished with 10 points. Carter
had five points, two rebounds
and three assists in 21 minutes.
Odom the NBAs reigning
Sixth Man of the Year, who was
acquired from the Lakers a few
weeks ago for merely a trade
exception entered to a
standing ovation, and got fans
roaring again when he made a
3-pointer that tied the game at
11. He missed his next five
shots before getting ejected
midway through the third quar-
ter, but still left to loud cheers.
He had four points and four
rebounds in 13 minutes.
Weve got to get better and
it will take a little time to get
better, Odom said.
Jason Terry sparked a Dallas
rally, that started after Odom
was tossed, and wound up
leading Dallas with 23 points.
Nowitzki scored 21 in three
quarters. Shawn Marion scored
12 and broke the pinky finger
on his left hand.
NBA Commissioner David
Stern attended the game and
took part in the banner raising
ceremony. Fans greeted him
with boos, perhaps showing
disgust over the lockout that
delayed the start of the season
from Nov. 1 and shrunk the
season by 16 games.
Fans had plenty more to
cheer, such as Terry proclaim-
ing, Thirty-one years you wait-
ed 31 years! to call your
team a champion, ladies and
gentlemen. A champion!
Nowitzki, Terry, Jason Kidd
and many more players, coach-
es and staff each got a strand
to yank as part of the unveiling
of the banner at court level.
Nowitzki and Kidd seemed
awed as they watched it rise to
the rafters. They couldnt take
their eyes off it or didnt
want to.
Championship tie-ins were
everywhere, from the Mavs
warmup jackets proclaiming
them the 2011 NBA Champions
to jerseys featuring a patch of
the championship trophy, with
the words on the front and
back of their jerseys all out-
lined in gold. Terry even wore
gold high-tops.
But Dallas was more style
than substance, especially com-
pared to a Miami team that
returns the core of its rotation.
Bulls 88, Lakers 87
LOS ANGELES Derrick
Rose scored 22 points and hit a
short go-ahead jumper with 4.8
seconds to play, and the Chica-
go Bulls rallied from an 11-point
deficit in the final four minutes
for an 88-87 victory over the
Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
Luol Deng scored 21 points
and blocked Kobe Bryants
short shot right before the
buzzer as the Bulls hung on for
a thrilling finish to both clubs
first Christmas meeting.
Bryant scored 28 points and
committed eight turnovers
while playing with a torn wrist
ligament for the Lakers, who
nearly shook off their tumultu-
ous preseason for a surprising
win. Instead, Los Angeles was
outscored 17-5 in the final 3:36.
Deng scored nine points in
the fourth quarter for the Bulls,
including a three-point play and
two free throws in the final 45
seconds as Chicago snapped a
five-game road losing streak
against the Lakers.
Carlos Boozer had 15 points
for the Bulls, who have designs
on a championship run after
leading the NBA with 62 regu-
lar-season victories last season.
Chicago struggled mightily
against Browns new defensive
schemes for the Lakers in the
second half, managing just 25
percent shooting (12 for 48)
but Rose and Deng bailed out
the Bulls.
Bryant couldnt finish strong
in his NBA-record 14th Christ-
mas Day appearance for the
Lakers, who had an 11-point
lead with 3:45 to play before
Chicago pulled within 87-86 on
Dengs free throws with 20.4
seconds left.
Bryant wore a compression
sleeve on his right arm while
playing without a brace on his
right wrist after getting hurt
last week. He appeared to have
trouble handling the ball, but
displayed a fairly smooth jump
shot and his usual superb foot-
work.
Thunder 97, Magic 89
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin
Durant scored 30 points to help
the Oklahoma City Thunder
win their season opener with a
victory over the Orlando Mag-
ic.
Durant led the league in
scoring the past two seasons,
including averaging 27.7 last
season. On Sunday, he was
11-of-19 from the field and add-
ed five rebounds and six as-
sists.
James Harden added 19
points and the Thunder held
Orlando star Dwight Howard to
just 11 points.
The Thunder lost to Dallas
last year in the Western Confer-
ence finals but are expected to
one of the top teams this sea-
son. Ryan Anderson scored 25
points and Jameer Nelson add-
ed 18 for the Magic, who shot
just 37 percent from the field
and had 18 turnovers.

tough schedule.
We have some people play-
ing in weird positions that we
arent use to, Zdancewicz said.
The first two wins of the sea-
son prepared us for more wins.
The Spartans beat West
Scranton and Dallas en route to
capture the Tip Off Tournament
during which Zdancewicz faced
her first double-team of the sea-
son against the Mountaineers.
It opened things for other
shooters like guards Kate Smi-
cherko and Cassie Smicherko,
said Zdancewicz. When they
start to hit shots, it gives us
more of an inside-outside game
and makes us very difficult to
defend.
Zdancewicz leads Wyoming
Valley West in scoring with a
14.8 average. She is 120 points
shy of 1,000 career points.
One of my goals also is to
get my free throw percentage
up to 80 percent, she added.
A four-year starter and a two-
time Times Leader first-team all
star, Zdancewicz says coach
Curt Lloyd has played an impor-
tant role in her success.
Hes definitely a tough
coach. This year hes putting a
lot more pressure on us with
harder drills, but I think the
fact he pushes us so hard make
us want to win more and suc-
ceed.
According to Lloyd, Zdancew-
icz is one of the most versatile
players that hes ever coached.
She can take the ball to the
basket with force and can step
out and shoot the jumper. She
has great interior post moves
with her back to the basket.
Shes quicker than shes ever
been.
Zdancewicz developed a pas-
sion for basketball as a child by
watching the NBA on television
with her dad. She began playing
organized basketball as a fourth
grader at the Chester Street
School. She has played AAU
basketball for The Firm since
the sixth grade.
Every summer since I was a
kid, Ive spent at least an hour a
day shooting basketball in the
yard, said Zdancewicz, who is
considering playing college ball
at West Chester. It definitely
has paid off.
She expects to end her prep
career on a high note.
This years team is the clos-
est weve ever been. It would
be amazing if we surpass what
we did two years ago (22-4) and
go as far as we can in the state
tournament.

(Cuban) might not have been
enamored with the final out-
come because it takes away the
advantage that overspending can
give you, Stern said.
Stern also said he could have
done a better job of explaining
his reasons for blocking a pro-
posed trade of Chris Paul from
the league-owned Hornets to the
Lakers, only to later agree to a
deal that sent Paul to the Clip-
pers. He said that lost in the
frenzy over his action was the
fact he quashed the deal in his
role as the owners representa-
tive looking out for the best
interests of the Hornets not as
the commissioner looking out
for the best interests of the
league as a whole.
Our viewwas that the best
thing was for NewOrleans to be
a young team, he said.
Stern blamed himself for not
clarifying that sooner.
I dont think it affected the
integrity of the league, he said.
I do think I could have done a
better communications job. ... Its
a job that, as the owners repre-
sentative, I was stuck with. But I
think that it was better to have
me do it than a group of owners
do it because I have the singular
focus of doing whats best.
The booing Mavs fans may not
have realized they had Stern to
thank for getting Lamar Odom
to Dallas. Odomwas supposed
to have been in the Lakers-Horn-
ets deal; when he wasnt, he was
so upset that the club didnt
want himthat he asked to be
traded.
After the Dallas-Miami game,
Stern was headed to Oklahoma
City for the opener between the
Thunder and Orlando. Magic
star Dwight Howard is trying to
force his way to the teamof his
preference, just like Paul did.
Asked if that was bad for the
league, Stern said its always
happened, using KareemAbdul-
Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain as
examples.
Stern had compliments for
another superstar he was about
to watch, LeBron James.
I see a level of acceptance and
maturity, Stern said. Hes
clearly saying he mightve said a
fewthings differently, etcetera,
and hes going to let his talent do
the talking. I think thats pretty
exciting because hes got some
pretty exciting talent. So were
happy for himand were looking
forward to howthe season winds
up.
So, howdoes he expect the
season to wind up?
I said to Mark, Its ironic, the
most underrated teamin the
league is the NBAchampion,
Stern said.
I think Dallas has a pretty
good roster. ... I said before last
season, I think were going to
have to play the season. Were
not mailing the trophy to Mia-
mi. It turns out, we mailed it to
Dallas. Well see what happens
this year but Miami really
seems formidable with those
three superstars.

Bill Walker away.
Coming off their first win-
ning season in a decade, the
Knicks added a defensive pres-
ence by signing Tyson Chan-
dler away from the NBA cham-
pion Dallas Mavericks and
have loftier expectations than
theyve seen in years. The orig-
inal NBA schedule had them
opening against Miami, but in-
stead they got a chance to see
if theyve closed the gap
against Boston.
I think we wanted to come
out and set the tone early,
Stoudemire said. Its a long
year but this game was very
important for us to get off to a
great start.
Though the Celtics won all
eight meetings last season, the
Knicks have been listed some
places as the favorites in the
Atlantic Division, which the
Celtics have ruled since their
Big Three came together in
2007.
Everybody knows how opti-
mism kicks in before the sea-
son starts, but then once real-
ity sets in after the first month
of the season, well see, Pierce
said before the game. But its
definitely a possibility. I mean,
they have the talent, but we
have the talent, too.
But the Knicks will be with-
out newcomer Baron Davis for
a few weeks because of a her-
niated disc in his back, and
now Shumpert is out, leaving
little depth in the backcourt.
The Knicks led 49-32 with
7
1
2 minutes left in the first half
before the Celtics cut it to 62-
52 at halftime.
The first game since renova-
tions began at Madison Square
Garden included the usual cast
of celebrities such as Alicia
Keys, Chris Rock and John
McEnroe, and some new con-
fusion, as at least one Celtics
player had to ask how to get to
the court from the new vis-
itors locker room.
Notes: Rivers said Pierce
may come off the bench when
he does return, since hes had
only one practice so far. ... The
Knicks were without Mike Bib-
by, who dressed but didnt play
because of a sore back. Reserve
Jared Jeffries was lost during
the game to a sore right calf
and will miss a week or two. ...
Stoudemire provided pregame
breakfast to MSG staff in ap-
preciation of the support in his
first season with the team.
shot Boston always seems to
make against the Knicks.
They seem to have a little
swag and confidence behind
them, Garnett said. Its good
for the city. Its good for the
Knicks. Im going to see how
consistent they are with that,
but for the most part Carmelo
played really well.
Brandon Bass had 20 points
and 11 rebounds in his Celtics
debut, and Ray Allen added 20
points.
Garnett finished with 15
points. He and Allen had a
sleepy Christmas start, with
Rondo keeping the Celtics in
the game until they got going
in the second half.
I thought we were as soft as
you could be in the first quar-
ter and then I thought we
joined in to the 2011-12 season,
and from that point on I was
pretty happy with the way we
played, Celtics coach Doc Riv-
ers said. I thought we compet-
ed well.
But it wasnt enough against
the Knicks, who withstood a
costly knee injury to first-round
pick Iman Shumpert to beat
the team that swept them out
of the first round of last sea-
sons playoffs. Shumpert will
miss two to four weeks with a
sprained right knee ligament.
Pierce has a bruised right
heel but hopes he can return
Tuesday when the Celtics visit
the Miami Heat.
Even without him, the Cel-
tics fought back to tie it at 69
on Rondos layup midway
through the third quarter.
They surged ahead by eight go-
ing into the final period after
Bass scored the final six
points, then extended it to 89-
79 on Bass jumper to open the
fourth.
Anthony, who scored 20 in
the fourth, tied the game at 100
on a 3-pointer with 3:25 to
play. It stayed tight until he
was fouled on a drive with 16.3
seconds left, making both for a
106-104 lead. Rondo grabbed
the rebound of Marquis Da-
niels potential go-ahead 3-
pointer to give the Celtics a
final chance, but Garnett was
off on his jumper, then ap-
peared to shove the Knicks
KNICKS
this is what I signed up for. Inju-
ries are part of the game. If you
dont want to get hit, then you
shouldnt be playing.
Other playerssaytheywoulddo
the same: Hide it.
In a series of interviews about
headinjuries withThe Associated
Press over the last two weeks, 23
of 44NFLplayers slightlymore
thanhalf saidthey wouldtry to
conceal a possible concussion
rather than pull themselves out of
a game. Some acknowledgedthey
already have. Players also said
they should be better protected
from their own instincts: More
than two-thirds of the group the
AP talked to wants independent
neurologists on sidelines during
games.
The APspoke to a cross-section
of players at least one from
each of the 32 NFL teams to
gauge whether concussion safety
and attitudes about head injuries
havechangedinthepast twoyears
of close attention devoted to the
issue. The group included 33
starters and11reserves; 25players
on offense and 19 on defense; all
have played at least three seasons
in the NFL.
The players tended to indicate
they are more aware of the possi-
blelong-termeffectsof jarringhits
to their heads than they once
were. In a sign of the sort of pro-
gress the league wants, five play-
ers said that while they would
have triedtoconceal a concussion
during a game in 2009, now they
would seek help.
You look at some of the cases
where you see some of the retired
players and the issues that theyre
havingnow, evenwithsomeof the
guys whove passed and had their
brains examined you see what
their brains look like now, said
Washington Redskins linebacker
London Fletcher, the NFLs lead-
ing tackler. That does play a part
in how I think now about it.
But his teammate, backup full-
back Mike Sellers, said hes hid-
den concussions in the past and
would highly doubt that any
player would willingly take him-
self out of a game.
You want to continue to play.
Youre a competitor. Youre not go-
ing to tell on yourself. There have
been times Ive been dinged, and
theyve takenmyhelmet fromme,
and ... Id snatch my helmet back
and get back on the field, Sellers
said. A lot of guys wouldnt say
anything because a lot of guys
wouldnt think anything during
the game, until afterward, when
they have a headache or they cant
remember certain things.
San Francisco 49ers defensive
lineman Justin Smith captured a
popular sentiment: Players know
of the potential problems, yet
would risk further damage.
It doesnt take a rocket scien-
tist to figure out if (you have) a
concussion, youre probably da-
maging your brain a little bit. Just
like if you sprain your wrist a
bunch, youre going to have some
wrist problems down the road.
Yeah, Id still play through it. Its
part of it. Its part of the game,
Smith said. I think if youre no-
ticeably messed up, yeah, theyll
take you out. But if youve just got
some blurry vision, Id say thats
theplayers call. Andmost guys
99 percent of guys in the NFL
are going to play through it.
Smith said he sustained one
concussion in high school (You
dont know who you are, is how
he described it) and another in
college (Walking around the
whole time, but I dont remember
anything until six hours later).
The NFL likes to say that views
about concussions have shifted
from simply accepting theyre
part of the sport to doing whats
possible to lessen impacts. Com-
missioner Roger Goodell talks
about changing the culture, so
players dont try to walk it off af-
ter taking hits to the head.
Yet the APs conversations with
players showed there is room for
more adjustments, which did not
surprise Dr. Richard Ellenbogen,
co-chairman of the NFLs head,
neck and spine committee.
The culture change takes
awhile, Ellenbogen said in a tele-
phone interview. Why would
these guys want to go out? They
love playing the game. They dont
want to leave their team. They
want to win. I understand all that.
And thats why we have to be on
our toes with coming up with ex-
ams that are hard to beat, so to
speak.
NewOrleans Saints offensive li-
neman Zach Strief put it this way:
We all grew up with, Hey, get
back in there. You (only) got your
bell rung. Andwhile its changing
now, I think its going to take time
for the mindset to change.
Afewplayers saidtheydbe par-
ticularlyinclinedtohide a concus-
sion if it happened in a playoff
game or the Super Bowl. Some
said their decision would depend
on the severity of a head injury
but theyd hide it if they could.
Clearly, there is a stigma associ-
atedwithleavingthefield, nomat-
ter the reason. Indeed, one player
who said hed exit a game if he
thought he might have a concus-
sion didnt want to be quoted on
the subject.
Other findings from the inter-
views:
Asked whether the NFL
should have independent neurol-
ogists at games to examine play-
ers and determine if they should
be held out because of concus-
sions, 31players saidyes, and10
said no. Three didnt answer.
Theyve got guys looking at
your uniform to make sure youre
wearing the right kind of socks,
St. Louis Rams safety Quintin Mi-
kell said. Why not have some-
body there to protect your head? I
think we definitely should have
that.
He said hes tried to clear his
head and stay on the field many
times.
Ill probably pay for it later in
my life, Mikell said, but at the
sametime, Ill probablypayfor the
alcohol that I drankor drivingfast
cars. Its one of those things that it
just comes with the territory.
Specifically regarding con-
cussions, 28 of the 44 players
think playing in the NFL is safer
now than in 2009, while 13 think
its the same, and two think its
more dangerous. One wasnt sure.
Those who think safety has im-
proved gave credit to the rise in
awareness; more fines for illegal
hits; this seasons changes to kick-
off rules that havecut downonthe
number of returns; andthenewla-
bor contracts reduction in the
amount of contact allowedinprac-
tice.
When I first came into the
league, it was like, Whatever
goes. It was more of that old-
school, just beat-him-up football.
Not wanting to hurt anybody, but
show how tough you were. Back
in the day, it was like if you come
out (of a game) with (a) slight
concussion, then you werent giv-
ing it all for your team, Buffalo
Bills linebacker Andra Davis said.
But now, theyre taking that op-
tion away from you.
Davis, a 10th-year veteran who
turned 33 on Friday and said hes
had a couple of concussions, is
one of those whose view on seek-
ing help for such injuries has
changed.
The younger me would defi-
nitelyhideit, Davis said. But the
older me now with wife and
kids and looking more at life after
football I would say something
about it.
Asked whether more can be
done to protect players fromhead
injuries, 18 players said yes, and
24saidno. Twodidnot respond.
Not surprisingly, there were di-
visions according to position, and
players on opposite sides of the
ball generally drifted toward op-
posing views: Those on offense
seemed more likely than those on
defense to say more can and
should be done to improve
safety. Linemen, meanwhile, of-
ten complained that there is no
way to improve their plight, with
the helmet-to-helmet banging
that takesplaceat thesnaponplay
after play. One player described
those collisions as micro-epi-
sodes that build up over time.
Nearly three-quarters of the
playerswhotoldtheAPtheythink
safety can improve 13 of 18
suggested equipment can be im-
proved, too. Helmet technology,
mouth guards and chin straps all
were mentioned.
Two players suggested more
education about concussions is
needed.
Dr. Robert Cantu, a senior ad-
viser to Ellenbogens NFL com-
mittee who said he is consulted
regularly by the league, insisted
that while there has been pro-
gress, there is still work to be
done.
Has there been a culture
change overall? I thinkthe answer
is, unquestionably, yes. Could
there be more done? Yes. Do all
the players get it? No. Do they
want to get it? No, said Cantu, a
clinical professor of neurosurgery
and co-director of the Center for
the Study of Traumatic Encepha-
lopathy at Boston University
School of Medicine.
CTE is a degenerative disease
increasingly found in football
players and other athletes who
have absorbed repeated blows to
the head. It has been linked to
memoryloss, disorientation, poor
decision-making, and depression
that canleadtodruguseand, as in
the case of former Chicago Bears
defensive back Dave Duerson,
even suicide.
Theleaguedistributedinforma-
tional posters in 2010 to warn
about thedangersof headinjuries,
but Cantu said: Just because the
posters are in every locker room,
its not mandatory reading. Or
people cansay they readit but not
really have read it.
HIDING
NFL players answer questions about concussions
The Associated Press interviewed 44 NFL players at least one from each of the leagues 32
teams from Dec. 14-22, to get a sense of whether concussion safety and attitudes about
head injuries have changed in the past two years. These are the questions the AP asked, and
the answers players gave:
AP
Specifically with regard to concussions, is
playing in the NFL safer, more dangerous
or the same as it was in 2009, when the
issue first began to get a lot of attention?
If you get what you think could be a concus-
sion, do you think you would hide it and try
to stay in the game or immediately pull
yourself out?
Should the NFL have independent neurolo-
gists at games to examine players and
determine whether they should be held out
because of concussions?
Can more be done to protect players
from head injuries?
Is that a change from 2009?
NOTE: Of those the AP spoke to, 33 are pri-
marily starters, 11 are primarily reserves; 25
play on offense, 19 play on defense. All
have played in the league at least three
seasons.

Ask Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew (32)
whether he would try to play through a concussion or yank him-
self from a game, and he provides a straightforward answer. Hide
it, the NFLs leading rusher says.
The bottom line is: You
have to be able to put
food on the table. No
ones going to sign or
want a guy who cant
stay healthy. I know
there will be a day when
Im going to have trou-
ble walking. I realize
that. But this is what I
signed up for. Injuries
are part of the game. If
you dont want to get
hit, then you shouldnt
be playing.

We could see a
bit of snow and
rain as we head
into New Years!
We will start the
week with most-
ly clear skies. We
could have a
light breeze
making it feel a
little colder out,
so be sure to
bundle up.
Clouds will
increase Tuesday
with rain by the
afternoon. We
could see a
decent amount
of rain during
the afternoon
and evening, and
as the tempera-
tures drop, the
rain may turn to
snow. On
Wednesday, we
will have flurries
in the morning
hours and a
stray shower.
Thursday will be
a partly cloudy
day. There will be
mostly cloudy
skies on Friday
and light snow
showers are pos-
sible. Flurries will
carry over into
Saturday.

NATIONAL FORECAST: High pressure will be in control of the weather for most of the United States
today. Look for a developing low pressure system near the Gulf Coast to bring rain to the western
Gulf Coast and southern Mississippi River Valley. A few thunderstorms will be possible along the coast
from Louisiana to Foridas panhandle.

HONOR ROLL
North Branch Land Trust (NBLT) recently held its 15th annual Holi-
day Gathering at the Appletree Terrace, Dallas. Executive Director
Paul Lumia gave an overview of the Land Trusts conservation work
over the past year and Volunteer of the Year awards were presented
to Zack Kaufer and Melody and David Buck. Zack received The Land
Conservation Volunteer of the Year award for his volunteer assist-
ance in monitoring many of the properties conserved by NBLT. Melo-
dy and Dick Buck received The Volunteer of the Year award for their
continued support of the Land Trusts mission and commitment of
volunteer time to many events, committees and activities. Physical
awards, such as plaques, are no longer given, but a donation to a
deserving nonprofit is made in the name of the volunteers. This year
monetary gifts will be made to EarthWatch on behalf of Zack Kaufer
and to the Oldest House, Laceyville, on behalf of Melody and David
Buck. At the award presentation, from left, is Lumia and Kaufer.

TV TALK
NEW YORK The biggest
draw in television is going mo-
bile.
The Super Bowl will be
streamed online and to phones
in the U.S. for the first time, the
NFL said Tuesday. NBCs broad-
casts of wild card Saturday, the
Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl
will be available on the leagues
and networks websites and
through Verizons NFL Mobile
app.
The service will include addi-
tional camera angles, in-game
highlights and live stats and
replays of those always popular
Super Bowl ads.
NBC has been streaming its
Sunday Night Football tele-
casts for four seasons, and what
the network has found is its not
just being used by fans who
cant get in front of a set. Many
of the page views come from
people using the service as a
complement to watching the
game on TV.
That certainly would seem
likely for the Super Bowl on
Feb. 5 from Indianapolis. The
game is annually by far the big-
gest attraction on television,
with last seasons Packers-Steel-
ers matchup drawing a record
U.S. audience for any show with
111 million viewers.
Whether its just for a quar-
ter if somebody has to run out to
the store to get something they
forgot, now they can stay con-
nected to the game, Hans
Schroeder, the NFLs senior vice
president of media strategy and
development, told The Associ-
ated Press. With such a big tel-
evision audience, it will be inter-
esting to see the expanded re-
ach.
NBCs streams on Sunday
nights typically average
200,000-300,000 viewers, com-
pared with 21 million for the
telecasts. The network has seen
no evidence it hurts the tradi-
tional broadcasts healthy TV
ratings. If anything, the extra
options online may help keep
fans glued to the games on their
sets.
We dont want to limit our-
selves to people not in front of
the TV, said Rick Cordella, vice
president and general manager
for NBC Sports Digital Media.
The playoffs are appoint-
ment viewing, he added. Peo-
ple schedule their day around
it.
The NFL and NBC will do ex-
tensive research to find out ex-
actly how many people are
watching the streams and how
theyre using them. What num-
ber of fans want to watch the Su-
per Bowl each year but arent in
front of a TV for whatever rea-
son?
Schroeder wonders had this
been around for the Super Bowl
three years ago, if fans at parties
would have used the service to
watch Santonio Holmes toe-
scraping winning touchdown
catch for the Pittsburgh Steelers
over and over again.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
daughter is getting a
divorce from a won-
derful young man
Ive grown very close
to. Hes away in the
service, and he and
my daughter have
grown apart.
He emails me and talks to me on
Facebook quite often. When he asks
me about my daughter, I am vague.
I love him as a son and have been so
upset that Im having migraines. How
do I detach from my son-in-law while
still being there for my daughter?
Sad Mother-In-Law in Texas
Dear Sad M-I-L: Tell him that while
you love him like a son, the present
situation with your daughter is caus-
ing you so much emotional conflict
that its making you physically ill.
Explain that you will always be his
friend, but that you must distance
yourself emotionally somewhat until
the divorce is final and he and your
daughter have moved further on in
their lives.
Dear Abby: I work in an educational
setting where the emphasis is on ac-
countability, responsibility and being
a good role model. I made a terrible
decision two years ago and received a
DUI while out of town.
I accepted all responsibility and
completed the necessary require-
ments through the courts. However,
since then I have dreaded someone at
work finding out and losing the job I
love. Do I talk to my HR department
or confess to my supervisor? Or do I
just keep it to myself and hope no one
finds out?
Still Paying the Price in Michigan
Dear Still Paying: If youre involved
in education, then you may be a mem-
ber of a union. Instead of discuss-
ing this with HR, have a chat about
it with your union representative.
Because you have accepted responsi-
bility for the incident and have com-
pleted the requirements of the court,
I doubt that your job is in jeopardy.
If you have no union representa-
tion, keep it to yourself. I see nothing
to be gained by blabbing about this to
your co-workers.
Dear Abby: While driving the streets
and highways, we communicate in
many ways with our fellow commut-
ers. We can wave, give a thumbs up,
lay on the horn or, in slow traffic,
shout out the window with curses or
blessings. More often than not, a sin-
gle-finger salute is flashed in anger.
Instead, we should drive the same
way our lives should be lived with
compassion, consideration and aware-
ness of our fellow travelers. When we
make mistakes, we should be repen-
tant and signal an Im sorry.
Abby, Im at a loss for a hand signal
for Im sorry. Any suggestions?
Mild-Mannered Motorist in
Virginia
Dear Mild-Mannered: Living in a
city known for its heavy traffic, I can
relate from personal observation that
many drivers commit moving viola-
tions, and an equal number simply
make mistakes while behind the
wheel. While Im sure my helpful
readers will step forward to volun-
teer suggestions for an Im sorry
signal, what I have done when the
person pulls up next to me and were
stopped, is raise both hands (palms
up) and say, Im sorry! The shame
on my face conveys the message.

memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O.
Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
must be willing to fail big in
order to win big. Over the next
three days, youll decide how far
you are willing to go. Youll mea-
sure the stakes time and again
to make sure youre ready.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Every
year a new cast of characters
comes into the limelight. Some
years its your turn. Youll have
the sense that your time is com-
ing around again, and youll be
right.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you
keep on doing something you
really dont like or agree with,
you can bet that theres a solid
payoff for the behavior of which
you are not yet conscious. That
could change in the evening.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
best way to discover this is to
find out that the one you love
loves you, too. Its an elated
feeling, but dont forget: The
greatest love is learning to love
yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You dont
know why youre drawn to some
people, but its not a thing you
need to question. Assume theres
a reason beyond logic, and dont
think too much about it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What
you want to do and what you
wind up doing will be two dif-
ferent things. But trust your
instincts, especially when they
urge tenderness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Persistence is the hallmark of
successful people, though the
most successful people also
know when to back off and let
the other person come forward.
Youll strike the perfect balance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
have about five different goals
youll be pushing toward over the
next few days. When one doesnt
appear to be moving along, youll
move to the next one.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your mood will be light, so you
may not be able to relate to
those around you who seem to
see everything as a life-or-death
endeavor. Tonight, youll cel-
ebrate a small victory.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll soon achieve a certain
milestone. Right now, youre so
close you can almost taste the
victory. Dont let up. Keep reach-
ing because you can still get
there before the year is up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Someone youve always wanted
to meet is not so far away from
you now. Keep your eyes peeled,
and dont be afraid to reach out.
Risk rejection. You have to go
through no to get to yes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). For
you, its not enough to know that
youll get to a goal eventually
or to trust that life will lead you
there. You want evidence, and
you want it now.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec. 26).
Youll be in a highly creative and
productive mode. Within the next
three weeks, one of your brilliant
solutions to a problem will work
once and for all. Youll establish
friendships in February that perk
up your social schedule all year.
Youll get a raise or will raise
money for a cause in March.
Youll travel in July. Cancer and
Virgo people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 24, 23, 1, 49
and 37.
