COLUMN ? Can Chris Christie save the GOP?

A pair of polls out this week shows the dire state the Republican Party finds itself in ? and a way out of the wilderness, should Republicans choose to take it.

Poll No. 1: Rasmussen Reports found that views of the tea party ? the wing of Republicanism that dominates party primaries and therefore the congressional Republican caucuses ? at a new low. Only 8 percent of likely voters considered themselves tea-party members, down from 24 percent in 2010. According to Rasmussen (which tends to have a pro-Republican bias), unfavorable views of the movement topped favorable views, 49 percent to 30 percent.

Poll No. 2: Fairleigh Dickinson University found that 73 percent of New Jersey voters approved of the job their Republican governor, Chris Christie, is doing ? near his all-time high. Even 62 percent of Democrats approve of Christie, as well as 69 percent of racial minorities and 70 percent of women. The top would-be challenger to Christie in November?s gubernatorial election is trailing him by 33 percentage points.

So grim are things for the Democrats in heavily Democratic New Jersey that the state Senate president, Democrat Stephen Sweeney, apologized Monday after saying Christie wished for Hurricane Sandy to hit New Jersey. ?I guess he prayed a lot and got lucky a storm came,? Sweeney had said.

Certainly, the storm ? and, more important, Christie?s forceful response ? boosted the governor?s standing. But the tea party?s record lows and Christie?s record highs tell a larger story: Americans are crying out for an end to ideological warfare.

That has developed into Christie?s signature in New Jersey. He began his term promising tax cuts and fighting with the teachers union over tenure, pay and education reforms, but he now preaches reconciliation ? a recurring theme in his State of the State address Tuesday afternoon.

?Now, we?ve had our fights,? he told state legislators. ?We have stuck to our principles. But we have established a governing model for America that shows that, even with heartfelt beliefs, bipartisan compromise is possible. ... Maybe the folks in Washington, in both parties, could learn something from our record here.?

Christie, his eye on a possible 2016 presidential run, overstates that record, both in terms of economic progress and in terms of partisan cooperation. But his message is undoubtedly a winning one. More than three-quarters of Americans believe that politics in Washington is causing ?serious harm to the United States,? according to a new Gallup poll ? and they are correct to think so.

Christie lent his powerful voice to that sentiment last week when he condemned as ?disgusting? the House Republicans? decision not to take up a $60 billion Hurricane Sandy recovery bill because tea-party lawmakers considered it wasteful. ?That?s why people hate Washington,? Christie said at the time, helping to force House Speaker John Boehner to reconsider.

It was just the latest of Christie?s many breaks with tea-party orthodoxy. Just before the election, his effusive praise of President Obama?s ?outstanding? response to Sandy earned him condemnation from Rush Limbaugh and Rupert Murdoch.

He unnerved fiscal conservatives by saying that the hurricane recovery would probably require higher taxes, because ?there?s no magic money tree.? He came out against the National Rifle Association?s plan to have gun-wielding guards in schools, saying, ?You don?t want to make this an armed camp for kids.?

Earlier, after conservatives criticized his appointment of a Muslim judge, he took on these ?bigots? for their ?gaze of intolerance.? And on immigration, he called for an ?orderly process? to legalize immigrants and he criticized those who ?demagogue.?

Certainly, Christie is no liberal, but his State of the State speech was full of policy prescriptions that conservatives might label big government: ?We?ve requested the federal government to pay 100 percent of the costs of the significant debris removal. ... We have secured $20 million from the Federal Highway Administration. ... We have worked with the Small Business Administration to secure nearly $189 million in loans.?

Christie also bragged about ?implementing the toughest fertilizer law in America,? fighting insurers? ?excessive deductibles? and ?investing the largest amount of state aid to education in New Jersey history.? He said ?both Republicans and Democrats? would make sure the state got its full federal payout for the storm.

?You see,? he told the legislators, ?some things are above politics.?

It?s a lesson that could help the national Republican Party loosen the tea party?s death grip.

Obama's 2nd inauguration smaller, yet still grand

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama's second inauguration is shaping up as a high-energy celebration smaller than his first milestone swearing-in, yet still designed to mark his unprecedented role in American history with plenty of eye-catching glamour.

A long list of celebrity performers will give the once-every-four years right of democratic passage the air of a star-studded concert, from the bunting-draped Capitol's west front of the Capitol, where Obama takes the oath Jan. 21, to the Washington Convention Center, which is expected to be packed with 40,000 ball-goers that evening.

The first family will lead a parade of clanging bands, elaborate floats and marchers, including costumed dancers, prancing horses and military units, down Pennsylvania Avenue. The president will dance with the first lady, whose dress seems destined to be most anticipated fashion statement of the second Obama administration.

A new element of the inaugural events will be announced next week, with the appointment of around half a dozen "citizen co-chairs," community leaders from across the country chosen because they represent the president's accomplishments and commitments. They will take part in inaugural events throughout the weekend.

Estimates of turnout are 600,000 to 800,000, compared with the 1.8 million in the record crowd on the National Mall four years ago to see the first swearing in of a black president. The mood of this 57th inauguration will be tempered by the weak economy, high unemployment, the aftermath of the Connecticut elementary school shooting and the long war in Afghanistan that's expected to require U.S. combat forces through the end of next year.

Yet developments in the last week have shown that inaugural enthusiasm is high.

A limited offering of $60 inaugural ball tickets for the general public sold out quickly, and inauguration planners have tried to crack down on scalping business that's sprung up online. There's an impressive list of celebrities, including Beyonce, Katy Perry and Usher, who have signed on to perform.

While organizers said Obama was cutting back the number of balls from 10 last time to just two this year, The Associated Press has learned that they are expecting more than 35,000 to attend the larger of the two and 4,000 to attend a ball in honor of U.S. troops ? double the size of four years ago.

Another factor that could increase turnout is the unseasonably warm weather in Washington. Early forecasts indicate that Obama will be taking the oath of office while the temperature is in the 40s, with hardly any chance of precipitation.

Steve Kerrigan, president and CEO of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said that just because the festivities are going to be smaller doesn't mean they are going to be any less significant.

"What we've been seeing from the very beginning is a passion and energy for this inaugural because people want to be a part of history," Kerrigan said. "This is a moment that's only happened 56 other times."

Obama's speech gives him a moment to command the world's attention on a level that's rare even for a president.

If history is any guide, Obama will try to put behind the divisive election. He has the State of the Union three weeks later to make his points on taxes, guns, immigration and other issues. It's a good bet this day will be a patriotic love letter to America.

"Second inaugurals are often a kind of victory lap speech in a lot of ways, that would go back to Thomas Jefferson in 1805," said presidential historian Leo Ribuffo of George Washington University. "Presidents are often reflecting on accomplishments of the administration and the challenges that will continue into the second term."

The 2009 inauguration will be remembered as a milestone for a nation built on slavery and blood-stained by the civil rights movement. But Obama clearly has that historical context in mind for his second go-round, as evidenced by the Bibles he chose to place his left hand on while taking the oath of office ? one owned by Abraham Lincoln and one by Martin Luther King Jr.

Their selection is especially symbolic because Obama's second inauguration comes on the federal holiday marking King's birthday and in a milestone anniversary year involving both men. It was 150 years ago when Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to end slavery, and 50 years ago when King delivered his "I Had a Dream" speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial ? a monument that will be straight ahead in Obama's sight as he speaks to his country.

"We've got the Bible of the great emancipator on top of the Bible of the leader of the civil rights movement for an African- American president to take the oath of office," Kerrigan said. "It's an amazing moment that people want to touch and feel and be a part of."

The inauguration will transform Washington, where most federal offices would be closed for the King holiday, by shutting down streets downtown and bringing regular daily life in the city to a halt. Viewing stands are set up along Pennsylvania Avenue for the parade from the Capitol to the White House. Street lamps will be removed, then replaced at the day's end.

It takes lots of people to pull it all off.

There are 550 people working for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, 1,300 members of the military coming in support roles and countless security officials, including police from multiple agencies and Secret Service providing security. The cost is high: Tens of millions of dollars in donations typically are raised to pay for the parade and parties, more than $1 million is appropriated by Congress for the swearing-in ceremony and security costs are kept under wraps but also covered by taxpayers.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who oversees the ceremony on Capitol grounds, has committed to preventing the crowd problems that marred the 2009 celebration, when thousands of ticketholders got stuck for hours underground in what became known as "the purple tunnel of doom." That 3rd Street tunnel is being closed, and Schumer says there will be better signs to direct attendees, and staff will monitor Twitter and other social media to detect and address any problems.

Obama's inaugural theme, "Our People. Our Future," is meant to reflect the strength of Americans, their ability to overcome challenges and the country's diversity. Diversity has been a focus in choosing participants throughout the festivities, with performers representing a range of demographics and parade participants from all 50 states.

The entertainment, too, reflects a variety of musical talents, with Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor performing patriotic standards at the swearing-in ceremony. Others such as Smokey Robinson, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Marc Anthony, Stevie Wonder and the cast of "Glee," are signed up for the other events, including a children's concert next Saturday and the president's two official balls.

Obama plans to kick off the weekend's festivities on that Saturday with the National Day of Service, a call for Americans to serve their communities in honor King's legacy. Obama, a former community organizer in Chicago, started the volunteer program four years ago and inaugural organizers say he hopes future presidents will continue it.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee is setting up a fair on the National Mall to encourage service that day and beyond and has staff working in all 50 states to coordinate local programs. Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and their families plan to personally participate in projects in Washington

Also on Saturday, first Lady Michelle Obama and Biden's wife, Jill, are set to host a concert for America's children as they did four years ago. Popular young artists are putting on a show and tickets are being distributed to Washington schoolchildren, among others. The concert will pay special tribute to military families as part of the two women's focus on supporting their service and sacrifice.

At noon on Sunday, Jan. 20, the time the Constitution requires the new term to begin, Obama plans to take his official oath in the White House's Blue Room with some media coverage, while Biden plans an official swearing in at the Naval Observatory. The public ceremony is not being held until the next day because inaugurations historically have not been held on Sundays.

Jaguars no longer want hometown hero Tim Tebow

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) ? Tim Tebow won't be playing for his hometown team.

The Jacksonville Jaguars made it clear Thursday that they have no plans to pursue the popular and polarizing New York Jets backup quarterback.

The Jets are likely to release the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and Jacksonville native during the offseason, and many believed Tebow would land with the Jaguars.

But new general manager David Caldwell nixed that idea at his introductory news conference.

"I can't imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar ? even if he's released," Caldwell said.

And Caldwell won't get any pushback from his new owner.

Shad Khan, who made a run at Tebow last year, said it was Caldwell's call.

"It's not my decision," Khan said. "I want to do whatever to help this team win. Who the players are is really the general manager's and coaches' ? it's a football-side operation decision. It's really not my decision."

What has changed for Khan in the 10 months since he wanted Tebow?

"I'm telling them to take a look at Tebow and they're saying, 'We're going to go in a different direction,'" Khan said. "That's the difference."

Tebow starred at nearby Florida, helping the team win two national championship, and created buzz that he would be a huge hit with the Jaguars. He would sell tickets and merchandise, many said, and bring the small-market franchise national recognition and Super Bowl rings.

Despite all the hype, the Jaguars passed on drafting Tebow in 2010 because former general manager Gene Smith didn't view him as a franchise quarterback.

But after Khan took over last year and the Denver Broncos started quietly shopping Tebow, Khan told Smith to look into acquiring the left-hander.

The Jaguars increased their offer several times. By the end of negotiations, Jacksonville had offered a fourth-round pick and agreed to pay $3 million of the $5 million in advance salary the Broncos had already paid Tebow. The money the Jaguars offered was better than the little more than $2.5 million the Jets agreed to pay, and the draft pick was nine spots higher than New York's fourth-round selection.

But it never really got down to the details.

The Broncos told the Jaguars they were allowing Tebow to choose between the teams, and the Jaguars believe Tebow picked the Jets because he felt he would have a better chance to compete for the quarterback job with Mark Sanchez than Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne.

Still, the Jets failed to find a way to effectively use Tebow this season.

Apparently, the Jaguars don't want to try now, either.

"We plan to address the quarterback situation, obviously," Caldwell said. "Blaine is the second-youngest quarterback in the NFL, but we're going to have open competition. Whether it's through draft or through free agency, we'll bring in some more people to compete at the quarterback position. We're going to let the best player win that position."

Major flu outbreak threatens to slow economy further

10 hrs.

One of the worst flu seasons in a decade is putting further strains on an already sluggish U.S. economy as companies get slammed with increased health care costs and lower productivity from widespread worker absences.

On average, seasonal flu outbreaks cost U.S. employers $10.4 billion in direct costs of hospitalization and outpatient visits, according to the Centers for Disease Control. That doesn't include the indirect costs related to lost productivity and worker absenteeism.

Bad flu season worsens as Boston declares emergency

But this year, that figure is expected to go much higher, as the flu virus has shown up in some 41 states with 29 of them reporting high or severe levels of sickness as thousands are flooding into hospital emergency rooms and doctor's offices.?

"If this is a major influenza outbreak, like the Spanish flu of 1918, it could have a very significant effect on economic growth," said Timothy G. Nash professor in Free Market Economics at Northwood University. "If GDP is projected to be be 2 percent this year, the flu could cut that back to one half percent growth rate."

Related:Are you worried you'll have to miss work because of the flu?

"A non-epidemic flu ... causes more than 200,000 people to be hospitalized and costs our economy," Nash said. "We don't know if this is a like 1918 but we can't ignore the serious nature of what's going on."

"The last thing we need in a slow economy is a major flu epidemic," said Paul Mangiamele, CEO of the Bennigan's restaurant chain located throughout the U.S. "It's bad enough as it is without the flu taking even more customers away."

Mangiamele said his company is on "orange alert' to try and keep the flu impact to a minimum.

"We have basic high-end standards on hygiene anyway but we're doing more work in making sure our utensils are extra clean and making sure the salt and pepper shakers have been rubbed down and every worker washes their hands. We're just ramping up our normal effort," said Mangiamele.

How to protect yourself from the flu

This particularly devastating flu season started five weeks earlier than usual and caught many people off guard. Flu season usually peaks in late January or early February but by November the flu was already severe and widespread in some parts of the South and Southeast, and now in the Northeast and Midwest.

There have been more than 2,257 hospitalizations associated with the flu, according to the CDC. Some 18 children in the U.S have died from it.

The city of Boston has declared a pubic health emergency as a result of the flu outbreak. Massachusetts said some 18 people have died in the state from flu related illness. South Carolina reports 22 dead so far. Two people died in Sacramento, California. In Minnesota, 900 people were hospitalized because of the flu and four people died.

For the fourth week in a row, the proportion of people seeing health care providers for flu-like illness is above the national average and jumped from 2.8 percent to 5.6 percent in that time, according to the CDC. Last season's proportion peaked at 2.2 percent, the CDC reports.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employee absences are traditionally up during the winter flu season -- some 32 percent higher than the rest of the year. The highest number of absentees was 3.3 million in 2008 -- a severe flu season.

Employees who are sick and go into work aren't really doing their colleagues any favors, said John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc, an outplacement firm.?

"Sick employees may think they're doing the right thing by going in, but the fact is they are only making matters worse by exposing themselves to others," Challenger said.?

"The business culture is changing and I think most firms are more accepting of people calling in sick, especially during the flu season," said Challenger.?

"What a business should be doing is offering flu shots, and giving comp days to workers who are sick and feel like coming in. Coming in sick and doing sub par work won't really help," argued Challenger.

The predominant type of flu that is circulating is H3N2 Influenza A virus, which is making up 76 percent of the viruses reported, according to the CDC.?

Doctors urge everyone six months and older to be given a flu shot or vaccine. The CDC said that flu viruses are likely to be spread for the next two to three months. It's not too late to get the flu shot, but it takes about two weeks for it to offer full protection, said the CDC.?

For businesses, suggestions to help cut down the affects of the flu include limiting meetings, allow for flexible work hours, provide hand sanitizers, enourage workers to wash their hands often, and allow workers to stay home without losing their jobs.

"Firms really need to get a flu program in place before this gets worse," Challenger said. "Otherwise they won't be productive."

If there's one consolation, the U.S. has a higher quality of health care to handle a flu outbreak than the rest of the world, said Northwood University's?Nash.

"Our health care system is much better than other countries when it comes to handling an epidemic and the economy of other countries would suffer much more than ours," said Nash.

"Outraged" Amy Pascal: "Zero Dark Thirty" does not advocate torture

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Sony Chairman Amy Pascal refuted criticism of "Zero Dark Thirty" by a member of the Oscar voting academy on Friday, saying her studio's movie "does not advocate torture."

"'Zero Dark Thirty' does not advocate torture," she said. "To not include that part of history would have been irresponsible and inaccurate. We fully support Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal and stand behind this extraordinary movie."

David Clennon, an Emmy Award-winning actor, wrote an op-ed column for Truthout this week, explaining that he would not be voting for "Zero Dark Thirty" in any categories because it portrays torture as being an effective tool in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

"Torture is an appalling crime under any circumstances," Clennon wrote." "'Zero' never acknowledges that torture is immoral and criminal. It does portray torture as getting results."

At a media event on Friday in downtown Los Angeles at the federal building, protesting the Guantanamo Bay detention center, Clennon repeated the criticism, noting:

"I'm a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Motion Picture Academy clearly warns its members not to disclose their votes for Academy Awards. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that the film 'Zero Dark Thirty' promotes the acceptance of the crime of torture, as a legitimate weapon in America's so-called War on Terror. In that belief, following my conscience, I will not vote for 'Zero Dark Thirty' in any category... I cannot vote for a film that makes heroes of Americans who commit the crime of torture."

"Zero Dark Thirty" has come under fire by some for its depiction of torture in the quest to kill Bin Laden. Last month, three senators - John McCain, Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin -- wrote a letter to Sony Pictures Chairman and CEO Michael Lynton, a prominent supporter of President Barack Obama, claiming that the film suggests that torture led investigators the terrorist leader.

The movie, which has already picked up several awards, on Thursday received five Oscar nominations, including a nod for Best Picture, but Bigelow was snubbed in the Best Director category.

Pascal issued a statement Friday that read in full:

"Zero Dark Thirty does not advocate torture. To not include that part of history would have been irresponsible and inaccurate. We fully support Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal and stand behind this extraordinary movie.

"We are outraged that any responsible member of the Academy would use their voting status in AMPAS as a platform to advance their own political agenda. This film should be judged free of partisanship. To punish an Artist's right of expression is abhorrent. This community, more than any other, should know how reprehensible that is. While we fully respect everyone's right to express their opinion, this activity is really an affront to the Academy and artistic creative freedom.

While we fully respect everyone's right to express their opinion, this activity is really an affront to the Academy and artistic creative freedom. This attempt to censure one of the great films of our time should be opposed. As Kathryn Bigelow so appropriately said earlier this week, ?depiction is not endorsement, and if it was, no artist could ever portray inhumane practices; no author could ever write about them; and no filmmaker could ever delve into the knotty subjects of our time.'"

Valve to create video game console with biometric controllers, gaze ...

January 10, 2013?-?

Valve has announced it will begin to make a Linux-powered console video game system and has plans to integrate biometrics into its controllers.

?This is not some locked box by any stretch of the imagination,? Valve CEO Gabe Newell said in an interview with The Verge. ?We think that, unlike motion input where we kind of struggled to come up with ideas, [there?s potential in] biometrics. We have lots of ideas.?

?Motion just seems to be a way of [thinking] of your body as a set of communication channels. Your hands, and your wrist muscles and your fingers are actually your highest bandwidth ? so trying to talk to a game with your arms is essentially saying ?oh we?re going to stop using ethernet and go back to 300 baud dial-up,? Newell said, adding that Valve is not only looking at biometric controllers but also gaze tracking technology.

This new Valve system will not only play games, but users will be able to do almost anything with the system. Newell boasts the system?s ability to download and install programs and apps, use a web browser or install Windows if Linux isn?t your style. ?You can do whatever you want,? Newell said.

Valve isn?t the first to look at introducing biometrics into a video game system. Many of the big players have filed patents or had a brief foray in the space and it?s no wonder why. From wearable controllers, dance mats, vibrating controllers and surround sound, video game systems have long been competing to offer the most adaptive and immersive experience to its users.

As reported previously in BiometricUpdate.com, a new Sony patent suggests biometrics will be included in its PlayStation 4 system in an attempt to better identify its users. Also in BiometricUpdate.com, Microsoft filed a particularly interesting patent which looks to add real-time facial recognition so users can join a game, just by entering the room.

Ask the Times: College loans

Q. Is it true members of Congress, their staffers and their family members do not have to pay back their student loans?

A. Not true. Members of Congress enjoy a lot of perks, but student loan forgiveness is not one of them.

Some Congressional employees are eligible to have as much as $60,000 of student loans repaid after several years ? just like other federal workers. But that's not the case for members of Congress or their families.

The Department of Education will begin to provide forgiveness on direct federal student loans for employees (including Congressional staffers) who have worked 10 years in public service jobs, including federal, state and local governments, as long as those employees made 120 consecutive payments on those loans over a 10-year period.

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program was created by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 and applies only to payments made on direct federal loans after Oct. 1, 2007. That means the earliest federal employees can benefit from the program is Oct. 1, 2017.
