Ex-soldier behind Papua New Guinea mutiny arrested

PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (AP) ? A retired colonel who attempted to take over Papua New Guinea's military and ordered the prime minister to step down has been arrested and charged with mutiny.

Police spokesman Dominic Kakas said Yaura Sasa was arrested Saturday night in a suburb of Port Moresby, the capital. A court spokesman said Sasa was charged with mutiny and appeared in court Sunday.

Sasa led a small group of soldiers in a mutiny Thursday in which the military's top commander was briefly held under house arrest. The mutiny was part of a power struggle in which Prime Minister Peter O'Neill and former Prime Minister Michael Somare claim to be the rightful leader of the South Pacific nation.

Sasa demanded that O'Neill step down within a week to make way for Somare, who appointed Sasa defense chief after being removed from office.

Kakas said the soldiers who followed Sasa had not been arrested.

Parliament replaced Somare with O'Neill in August while Somare was getting medical treatment outside the country. Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court sided with Somare last month, but O'Neill continues to have support from lawmakers.

Somare issued a statement Sunday repeating his call to be reinstated, and calling on police and the military to join him.

New advice for preventing breast cancer | Washington Examiner

You wouldn't take a bath in paint-thinner or breathe gas fumes for fun, but small "everyday" doses aren't OK either. A big new report on breast cancer and environmental toxins has terrific advice. You didn't get to read all 300 pages? We YOU Docs dug in for you. Here's the key stuff on protecting you and yours from environmental chemicals that promote breast cancer.

The news must have been tough reading for reporters on deadline, because plenty of media accounts got this important story wrong, concluding, "It's too soon to tell"; it's not. The Institute of Medicine's concise message: "Limit or eliminate your exposure to chemicals that are plausible contributors to breast cancer risk."

Sure, there's a lot we don't know yet. Cancer can take decades to develop, and over decades, we're all exposed to thousands of compounds. Connecting the dots isn't easy. But here's what we do know:

? About 34,000 cancer deaths a year are due to environmental pollutants.

? The report found the strongest evidence for a) secondhand smoke; b) chemicals in gas fumes, car exhaust and some work environments; and c) solvents in dry cleaning, paint and paint thinners.

? Hormone-like chemicals in plastics, pesticides and elsewhere could also be a problem.

Don't shrug off these warnings. Instead, take these five steps. They'll lower your exposure to many toxins that threaten breasts most.

1. Don't breathe in this gunk: tobacco smoke, gasoline fumes, car exhaust. They have the strongest links to breast cancer risk. So steer totally clear of other people's tobacco smoke. (YOU don't smoke, right?) Avoid inhaling gas fumes when you fill up at the pump. Open garage or storage shed doors for a few minutes before going in. Fumes build up in closed spaces where you keep cars, mowers, blowers and other gas-powered equipment. Avoid vehicle exhaust.

2. Keep and try to use this stuff outside: organic solvents in paints, paint strippers, glues. Air out fresh dry-cleaning in the garage or on a porch before bringing it in. Try to find a "green" dry cleaner who doesn't use trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene; both solvents are health worries. If solvents are reported in your local water supply, add a carbon filter to your taps.

3. Sidestep hormone disturbers. The most famous one, BPA, is linked to a protein found in up to 30 percent of women with breast cancer. Fortunately, BPA has been removed from virtually all hard plastic bottles, glasses and pitchers, but most tinned foods still come in cans lined with BPA-laced material (it excels at blocking spoilage and can contaminates). Also, most thermal receipts from places like fast-food restaurants and gas stations are BPA-laden. No widely available substitute has been found for can liners or receipts, but the hunt is on. Meanwhile, try to buy fresh or frozen foods, look for BPA-free cans -- about 20 percent are (usually from organic lines) -- and don't take thermal receipts you don't need. If you do, stash 'em, and wash your hands before touching food.

4. Be choosy about personal-care and household products. Choose nontoxic cleaners -- the Green Seal is one good guide (greenseal.org); try baking soda and vinegar, too. There's plenty of carcinogen controversy about certain chemicals in cosmetics, soaps, shampoos and more. The Environmental Working Group (ewg.org) has a cosmetics database of worry-free products.

5. Start early. Take steps 1-4 when you're conceiving, breast-feeding and raising kids to protect young tissue during vulnerable development periods.

It's not just toxins. To really cut breast cancer risk, keep your weight healthy and your waist under 33 inches. Stay active. Stick to one alcoholic drink daily; if you're at above-average risk, don't drink alcohol. Consider hormone replacement therapy for tough menopausal symptoms IF you're not at extra risk for breast cancer and heart disease. We believe taking bioidentical estrogen, micronized progesterone and two low-dose aspirin daily both cools hot flashes and lowers breast cancer odds. Even without menopausal issues, talk to your doc about low-dose aspirin to counter breast cancer, colon cancer and stroke. Take aspirin with half a glass of warm water before and after. Got it?!

Sarah O'Leary: Paula Deen's Preventable Marketing Disease

Paula Deen announcing she has Type II Diabetes after endorsing a drug company's diabetic treatment product is like a man admitting he's a sex addict after inking a deal with Viagra. Sadly, she could have avoided selling her filleted soul to the devil, changed the lives of countless diabetics and made millions more from her brand.

No matter how hard marketers try, it's hard to imagine a larger misstep for Paula Deen's brand, franchise and image. Known as the culinary queen of down home cooking, she relished her fat-laden, high-sugar feasts through cooking shows, books and licensed products. Downplaying the significant role that her lifestyle played in her Type II Diabetes diagnosis puts her brand legacy and future profits in jeopardy.

Three years ago, Ms. Deen was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. For the next three years, she continued on her delicious, wildly unhealthy course without missing a single marketing beat. She evangelized her fat, fried and sugared recipes with the enthusiasm of a drug pusher, only to become one for drug company Novo Nordisk when there was money to be made.

As marketers, we look for spokespersons to represent our products so that we sell more of them. We are, after all, in the business of selling products and services. Hopefully, we do that with ethos. Unfortunately, there are marketers willing and able to sugar coat truths to increase sales. Arguably Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Type II Diabetes drug Victoza, is doing just that. And Paula, using her celebrity to make money off of her disease and at the potential expense of those consumers who trust her, seems more than happy to participate.

Provided you have enough insulin on hand, visit the Paula Deen hosted, Victoza sponsored site, diabetesinanewlight.com. Deen explains that one needs make only simple changes -- in her case, the big sacrifices were giving up sweet tea and walking more with her husband and tweaking recipes -- to manage that little nuisance, Type II Diabetes. The sell that brings you closer to hell, as we marketers know, never works in the long term. Victoza will, most definitely, reap the rewards of increased awareness and sales now. However, it will fail in the long term if the product alone, without substantive live style changes, doesn't change the lives of its consumers for the better.

I'd hazard to guess how much money Ms. Deen received to sell her branded soul. The truly sad part, other than giving misguided hope to those who have the disease and listen to her, is that she could have made more money as a true role model. Had she announced her malady and dedicated herself to change, both prescriptive (possibly with Victoza) and lifestyle, her marketing opportunities would have been endless.

Unfortunately, Deen and the makers of Victoza took the easy way out and, in doing so, missed a huge opportunity to be the anchor and champion of a new movement. If they had taken a page out of Special K cereal's successful campaign, "The Special K Challenge," Novo Nordisk could have made Victoza the "hero" element of a bigger solution. The Special K Challenge establishes Special K, along with diet and exercise, as part of a healthy lifestyle. The product doesn't claim or infer that cereal alone will solve weight issues, nor would that be necessary or prudent. At the end of the day, if the program suggested by Special K works, it will move more boxes. Victoza, positioned as part of a dedicated lifestyle change rather than an almost magic syringe, would sell more with Deen as the spokesperson than it's poised to do now.

Much like sports teams that change logos to sell more licensed merchandise, Paula could have opened an entirely new wing of her empire by changing her offerings. Realizing that there will always be a market for the cooking style that made her famous and thus not in any real danger of waning, Paula could have kept her legacy intact and added to her offerings by reinventing herself as someone committed to wellness. With a healthy life, healthy living cooking genre, Paula could have used her celebrity for good (and for a great deal of profit). Americans love those who struggle through adversity, and she could have reaped millions from such a movement.

Paula is now suffering from the popular perception that money bought her new-found honesty. If money was her motivator, sadly, she missed what would have been a whole grain-fed cash cow. Millions could have been made from exercise apparel and equipment endorsements, over the counter vitamin and drug deals, wellness cook books and a wealth of other opportunities. By playing the wrong hand, Paula left untold millions on the table.

Marketing mixes and Type II Diabetes can't be fixed, much to Ms. Deen's chagrin, with a sweet smile and pound of butter.

Union: Pipeline Decision is 'Politics at Its Worst' (ContributorNetwork)

The president of the half-million member Laborers' International Union of North America has categorized the Obama Administration's January 18 rejection of the construction of the 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline as "politics at its worst," indicating a potential hit to the Obama re-election campaign from his union base. Here are the details.

* "The score is Job-Killers, two; American workers, zero," said LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan in a press release following the U.S. State Department's denial of the project on Wednesday. "We are completely and totally disappointed. This is politics at its worst. Once again the President has sided with environmentalists instead of blue collar construction workers - even though environmental concerns were more than adequately addressed. Blue collar construction workers across the U.S. will not forget this."

* According to a statement from President Barack Obama, the Secretary of State recommended the denial of TransCanada's Keystone XL project, which would pipe crude from Canadian oil sands to refineries in Texas. "As the State Department made clear last month, the rushed and arbitrary deadline insisted on by Congressional Republicans prevented a full assessment of the pipeline's impact, especially the health and safety of the American people, as well as our environment." Obama went on to state that his denial of the project "is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people."

* But the project had 1,1100 days of governmental review, LIUNA argued. "In addition, experts believe the project would be the safest ever constructed," the union press release stated, citing safety features such as 21,000 sensors that would be monitored via satellite and an alternative route to ease concerns over environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska.

* According to an October 25 press release by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a joint letter was sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by four union presidents representing 2.6 million union members, urging State Department approval of the Keystone project that was expected to pour $20 billion of new spending into the economy, create 118,000 jobs and generate $585 million in state and local taxes in communities along the pipeline. The reason for approving the project, the letter stated, was "so that the American worker can get back to the task of strengthening their families and the communities they live in." Joining the Teamsters in sending the letter were the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the U.S. and Canada, International Union of Operating Engineers, and LIUNA.

* While LIUNA has sharply criticized Obama's decision, other unions were praising it. According to a joint press release offered on January 19 by the UAW, Steelworkers, Transport Workers, SEIU, CWA, Sierra Club, and the National Resources Defense Council, "The Keystone XL Pipeline is a complex project which deserved careful consideration regarding its environmental and economic impacts that the Obama Administration planned to provide." The group goes on to blame House Republican leadership for a "cynical move" that "wrapped job creation rhetoric around their pipeline demands" and placed those demands in a payroll tax cut extension bill in December.

* According to the LIUNA press release, unemployment in the construction industry currently stands at 16 percent, with 1.3 million jobless construction workers across the nation.

NFL Team Logo Mats Are Your Cleanliness-Is-Next-to-NFL-iness Deal of the Day [Top]

I'm concerned about anti-bacterial soap. People slather that stuff on and think they're doing everyone a solid, but they're actually contributing to the evolution of resistant bacterial strains. Oh yeah? You've heard it all before? Then why are you taking a Z-Pack for a cold? IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. Someday we're going to have to leave Earth and live in space stations, and I don't think you're gonna want mutant bacteria getting you sick. You know what they do to contagious people in those types of situations? Put them in a space suit, tie them to the back of the spaceship and put them outside until they're better. And you know what happens if the rope breaks? You have to float through space endlessly until you die. That's why I like these NFL Team Logo Mats. They're a way to clean your shoes that doesn't eventually result in death. -LN More »

The 2012 Golden Globe Awards took over Hollywood on Sunday evening (January 15) with Ricky Gervais once again at the helm and all of Tinseltown in his joke-slinging sights.

UK scientists find 'lost' Darwin fossils

This image made available by the Royal Holloway, University of London on Tuesday Jan. 17, 2012 shows a polished section of fossil wood from the cabinet of Reverend John Henslow, Charles Darwin's mentor at Cambridge, comprising a 150 million years old tree. It comes from Dorset, England and you can even make out the annual tree-rings. British scientists have found scores of fossils the great evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin and his peers collected but that had been lost for more than 150 years. Dr. Howard Falcon-Lang, a paleontologist at Royal Holloway, University of London, said Tuesday that he stumbled upon the glass slides containing the fossils in an old wooden cabinet that had been shoved in a "gloomy corner" of the massive, drafty British Geological Survey.

This image made available by the Royal Holloway, University of London on Tuesday Jan. 17, 2012 shows a polished section of a 40-million-year-old fossil wood collected by Charles Darwin in 1834 on Chiloe Island, South America in the course of his famous "Voyage of the Beagle."

LONDON (AP) ? British scientists have found scores of fossils the great evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin and his peers collected but that had been lost for more than 150 years.

Dr. Howard Falcon-Lang, a paleontologist at Royal Holloway, University of London, said Tuesday that he stumbled upon the glass slides containing the fossils in an old wooden cabinet that had been shoved in a "gloomy corner" of the massive, drafty British Geological Survey.

Using a flashlight to peer into the drawers and hold up a slide, Falcon-Lang saw one of the first specimens he had picked up was labeled 'C. Darwin Esq."

"It took me a while just to convince myself that it was Darwin's signature on the slide," the paleontologist said, adding he soon realized it was a "quite important and overlooked" specimen.

He described the feeling of seeing that famous signature as "a heart in your mouth situation," saying he wondering "Goodness, what have I discovered!"

Falcon-Lang's find was a collection of 314 slides of specimens collected by Darwin and other members of his inner circle, including John Hooker ? a botanist and dear friend of Darwin ? and the Rev. John Henslow, Darwin's mentor at Cambridge, whose daughter later married Hooker.

The first slide pulled out of the dusty corner at the British Geological Survey turned out to be one of the specimens collected by Darwin during his famous expedition on the HMS Beagle, which changed the young Cambridge graduate's career and laid the foundation for his subsequent work on evolution.

Falcon-Lang said the unearthed fossils ? lost for 165 years ? show there is more to learn from a period of history scientists thought they knew well.

"To find a treasure trove of lost Darwin specimens from the Beagle voyage is just extraordinary," Falcon-Lang added. "We can see there's more to learn. There are a lot of very, very significant fossils in there that we didn't know existed."

He said one of the most "bizarre" slides came from Hooker's collection ? a specimen of prototaxites, a 400 million-year-old tree-sized fungi.

Hooker had assembled the collection of slides while briefly working for the British Geological Survey in 1846, according to Royal Holloway, University of London.

The slides ? "stunning works of art," according to Falcon-Lang ? contain bits of fossil wood and plants ground into thin sheets and affixed to glass in order to be studied under microscopes. Some of the slides are half a foot long (15 centimeters), "great big chunks of glass," Falcon-Lang said.

"How these things got overlooked for so long is a bit of a mystery itself," he mused, speculating that perhaps it was because Darwin was not widely known in 1846 so the collection might not have been given "the proper curatorial care."

Royal Holloway, University of London said the fossils were 'lost' because Hooker failed to number them in the formal "specimen register" before setting out on an expedition to the Himalayas. In 1851, the "unregistered" fossils were moved to the Museum of Practical Geology in Piccadilly before being transferred to the South Kensington's Geological Museum in 1935 and then to the British Geological Survey's headquarters near Nottingham 50 years later, the university said.

The discovery was made in April, but it has taken "a long time" to figure out the provenance of the slides and photograph all of them, Falcon-Lang said. The slides have now been photographed and will be made available to the public through a new online museum exhibit opening Tuesday.

Falcon-Lang expects great scientific papers to emerge from the discovery.

"There are some real gems in this collection that are going to contribute to ongoing science."

Dr. John Ludden, executive director of the Geological Survey, called the find a "remarkable" discovery.

"It really makes one wonder what else might be hiding in our collections," he said.

Mexico's Slim, Larry King talk media venture (Reuters)

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) ? Tycoon Carlos Slim and U.S. television host Larry King are in "advanced talks" that could lead to a media venture between the two, a close aide to the Mexican businessman told Reuters.

Arturo Elias Ayub, Slim's chief spokesman, said on Friday that the pair had been working on the plan for a few months, although he declined to give further details. The venture could possibly be announced in the first quarter.

"There are advanced talks between the Slim group and Larry's group," Elias Ayub said. "At the right time, if this comes through, we will announce what it is about."

Slim has been blocked from offering television by the Mexican government but is boosting the profile of his web-streaming operation, arousing the ire of rivals during the Pan American Games by streaming competition live.

He has also taken a stake in content for the first time, with the purchase of digital media firm DLA, operator of RushHD and the Concert Channel.

Slim struck up a friendship with King when the world's richest man invited the broadcaster to speak at his 2010 annual gathering, where guests share their views with thousands of students, many of whom enjoy a scholarship from one of Slim's charitable foundations.

King has visited Slim several times in Mexico City, where the tycoon has hosted long dinners accompanied by mezcal shots, according to others present, and has taken King on private visits to his vast art collection.

Last year, King and his wife were invited to host the inauguration of Slim's flashy Soumaya museum before 1,500 guests in the capital. The venue holds more than 60,000 art pieces, including one of the world's most extensive collections of Auguste Rodin sculptures.

Oklahoma St beats Stanford 41-38 in Fiesta Bowl

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) ? Oklahoma State has its chance to be in the national-championship conversation.

All the Cowboys need now is a little help from Alabama.

Surviving a missed field goal at the end of regulation and getting a big kick of its own in overtime, No. 3 Oklahoma State opened the door for the chance at a split national championship with a wildly entertaining 41-38 win over No. 4 Stanford on Monday night.

"There is nothing we can do from here," said Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon, who tied the Fiesta Bowl record with three touchdown catches. "I do think we do have the best team in the nation."

Oklahoma State (12-1) kept pace with Andrew Luck and the high-scoring Cardinal, getting huge performances from its two stars, Brandon Weeden and Blackmon, in their final college game. Weeden threw for 399 yards and the three touchdowns to Blackmon, who announced he's leaving for the NFL after catching eight passes for 186 yards.

All that and the Cowboys' fortunes came down to two legs, those of Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson and their own Quinn Sharp.

Williamson couldn't come through. The redshirt freshman missed a 35-yard field goal wide left as time expired in regulation and another from 43 yards to open overtime.

Given a chip shot after Weeden hit Colton Chelf on a 24-yard pass ? initially ruled a touchdown but overturned on review ? Sharp came through, sending his 22-yard field goal through the uprights and the Cowboys charging onto the field.

Should Alabama knock off top-ranked LSU in next week's BCS championship game, Oklahoma State will be right there, ready to stake its claim at being No. 1 in The Associated Press poll.

"We feel like we could beat anyone in the country," Chelf said.

Stanford (11-2) had its chances.

The Cardinal had 590 yards of offense ? nearly 200 more than Oklahoma State ? got another stellar game from Luck before he heads to the NFL, and ran over Oklahoma State's defense behind Stepfan Taylor.

They just couldn't finish it off.

Luck calmly led Stanford 63 yards over the final 2:35 of regulation to set up a chance at winning its second BCS bowl game in two years. Instead, Williamson missed in regulation, again in overtime and was left sobbing in front of his locker while his coaches and teammates tried to shoulder some of the blame.

"In the end, we lost, and I'm as much to blame as anyone," Luck said.

Taylor ran for 177 yards and a pair of scores. Luck was his usual steady self, hitting 27 of 31 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. The Cardinal held Oklahoma State to 15 yards rushing on 13 carries and didn't give up the lead until the final play.

Still, it wasn't enough, the Cardinal's hopes sailing wide left off the right foot of Williamson, who missed three field goals after missing three all season.

"There's an old saying that adversity reveals character ? and that's not just for him, that's for all of us," Stanford coach David Shaw said.

The Fiesta Bowl needed a pick-me-up game after the year it had.

Last year's game was a dud on pretty much all accounts. Connecticut had trouble filling its allotment of tickets and keeping up with Oklahoma, the 48-20 rout leading to a big dip in the ratings.

Not long after that, the bowl got tangled in controversy, nearly losing its BCS status following financial improprieties that were uncovered and led to the firing of executive director John Junker.

This matchup figured to be the ticket to match the golden jackets worn by Fiesta Bowl officials.

Oklahoma State has an electrifying offense ? second in scoring, third in total yards ? run by the 28-year-old Weeden and featuring Blackmon, the two-time Biletnikoff Award winner.

The Cowboys also came in with a chip on their shoulders, believing they should have gotten a shot at the BCS title game instead of it being a rematch of the field-goal-kicking Game of the Century earlier this season between Alabama and LSU.

Finishing a tantalizingly close .0086 behind the Crimson Tide in the BCS standings, Oklahoma State had plenty to prove, with booster T. Boone Pickens saying the Cowboys should get first-place votes in The Associated Press poll with a Fiesta win and a loss by LSU in the title game.

Across the field was Stanford, another one-loss team that could have a legitimate beef with the BCS system.

The Cardinal lost to eventual Pac-12 champion Oregon and crushed nearly everyone else with an offense that was top-15 in scoring and yardage. Stanford also has Luck, the two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up and all-but-certain No. 1 overall NFL pick, complemented by a powerful running game that's as good as any.

The Fiesta Bowl had a pretty good lead-in, too: Oregon's wild, 45-38 win over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.

Stanford had the advantage early, piling up 225 yards while going up 14-0 early in the second quarter on Luck's 53-yard touchdown pass to Ty Montgomery and Jeremy Stewart ran for a 24-yard score.

With its offense stranded in the desert early, Oklahoma State got back in it quickly thanks to Blackmon.

The junior caught his first pass by splitting the middle of Stanford's defense for a 43-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, then showed off his power on the next, brushing off a defender like a jacket over his shoulder before racing for a 67-yard touchdown that tied it 14-all.

Two big catches, 110 yards and the offensive show was on.

Taylor scored on a 4-yard run and the Cowboys answered, tying it 21-all at halftime on Weeden's first career rushing touchdown, an ugly-but-effective 2-yarder.

Luck hit Zach Ertz on a 6-yard touchdown pass to open the third quarter and, after the teams traded field goals, Weeden found Blackmon on a 17-yard crossing pass that tied the game at 31.

Taylor put Stanford up 38-31 with 4? minutes left, ducking behind Stanford's massive offensive line for a 1-yard touchdown. Oklahoma State answered quickly, moving 67 yards in less than two minutes to tie it on Joseph Randle's 4-yard touchdown run.

The Cowboys left too much time for Luck, but Stanford's luck ran out when Williamson couldn't come through in regulation and again in overtime.

Oklahoma State celebrated what they thought was a touchdown by Chelf in overtime, then did it for real after the replay and Sharp's kick.

"Our team rallied. Every time we got down, they just found a way to come back," said Cowboys coach Mike Gundy, who dedicated the victory to the four people who died in the Nov. 17 plane crash that killed Oklahoma State women's basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna.

And now the Cowboys can watch the national title game with a rooting interest, ready to stake their claim should the cards fall right.

With 48 hours left, Romney eyes Iowa breakthrough (Reuters)

DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) ? The Republican White House hopefuls launched a two-day dash to the finish in Iowa on Sunday, with front-runner Mitt Romney poised for a strong showing that could set him on the path to the nomination.

Romney holds a slight edge over rival Ron Paul in recent polls in Iowa, which holds the first contest in the state-by-state battle to pick a challenger to President Barack Obama in 2012.

"I'm pretty confident we'll have a good night. I don't know who's going to win," Romney told supporters at a packed restaurant in Atlantic, Iowa, adding he was "energized" ahead of Tuesday's contest.

Even a strong second-place showing in Iowa would be good news for the former Massachusetts governor. Paul could have trouble competing with him in later contests in New Hampshire, where Romney leads in polls, and in other states.

Romney, who spent millions in Iowa in 2008 only to lose to former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, did not campaign hard in the state until the last week.

He picked up the endorsement on Sunday of Iowa's Quad-City Times newspaper, which praised his business background as a former head of a private equity firm and said he had the best chance of beating Obama.

Rick Santorum, a former senator, has surged past Newt Gingrich into third place in polls, building momentum in the final days of a close race that has seen a series of candidates rise and fall.

He urged supporters at a coffee shop in Sioux City to send a "shock wave" across the country by giving him an upset win in Iowa.

"Lead this country. That's what I ask the people of Iowa. Lead, don't defer," Santorum said. "Don't put forward somebody who isn't good enough to do what is necessary to change this country."

Gingrich, the former House speaker who has dropped in Iowa polls after an onslaught of attack ads from Paul and a group that backs Romney, said he would stay in the race no matter where he finishes in Iowa.

Asked in a Reuters interview on Sunday whether coming in fourth or lower would make him consider dropping out, Gingrich said, "No."

Gingrich said he had enough campaign funds to get him through New Hampshire and on to conservative South Carolina, which comes next on January 21.

"By the time we get to South Carolina, it will be very clear the gap between a Massachusetts moderate who hides his record behind negative ads and a conservative who's talking about positive ideas," Gingrich said.

BACHMANN SEEKS MIRACLE

Michele Bachmann, who could face the end of the line if she does badly in Iowa, went to church on Sunday morning to woo the critical Christian conservative vote, which has been split among her, Santorum, Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Bachmann has sunk to the bottom of polls and is beset by a lack of money and staff desertions.

"On this January 1, 2012, I admonish you, don't for one moment think that your adversity is one that cannot be scaled," Bachmann told churchgoers at a service in Oskaloosa, making biblical references to underdog Israelites defeating their enemies.

Romney, who attended a Mormon church service in Iowa on Sunday morning, likely raised more than $20 million in the final three months of 2011, a Republican source said.

That amount would almost certainly put him far in front of his Republican rivals and underscores the long-term advantage he has in organization and money.

"We're looking better this quarter than any other quarter so far," Romney said, although he did not give a final number. He raised $14 million in the third quarter.

A win in Iowa for Romney, combined with a victory in his stronghold of New Hampshire on January 10, could put him on a path to clinch the nomination early. It would make him the first Republican who is not an incumbent president to win the party's first two contests.

Obama's campaign has already begun attacking Romney, who has criticized the president for his handling of the economy.

"Romney just has to prove that he's conservative enough for me," said Eleanor Stump, a 70-year-old Tea Party member from Sheldon, Iowa. "I don't like the way he's flip-flopped."

Romney is distrusted by some conservatives who remember his past support for abortion rights and for a state healthcare plan similar to Obama's federal overhaul.

Stump said she initially supported Herman Cain, who dropped out of the race after charges of an extramarital affair, then went to Perry, then back to Cain and then to Gingrich. "I've gone back and forth so many times," she said.

A Des Moines Register poll on Saturday said 41 percent of Iowa Republicans were still capable of changing their minds by Tuesday when they kick off the 2012 presidential election cycle before the November 6 election.

The newspaper poll, conducted Tuesday through Friday, showed Romney with 24 percent support and Paul with 22 percent, within the margin of error of 4 percentage points and similar to other polls showing the two battling for the top spot in Iowa.

Santorum had 15 percent support and Gingrich 12 percent. In fifth place was Perry with 11 percent, and Bachmann, a U.S. representative, was sixth with 7 percent.

Paul, who did not campaign in Iowa on Sunday but will return on Monday, shrugged off charges he could not beat Obama and that his non-interventionist views on foreign policy and newsletters published under his name in the 1990s that featured racial remarks put him out of the mainstream.

"I would say that I'm pretty mainstream. I think that people who are attacking me now are the ones who can't defend their records, and they've been all over the place," Paul, a longtime representative from Texas, said on CNN's "State of the Union."
