Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Thursday. The agency will replace the 2003 policy adopted under fonner Interior Secretary Gale Norton, Salazar said. That policy- derided by some as the "~o ~lore Wildemes " policy - stnted that new areas could not be recommended for wildeme s protection by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and opened millions of acres in the Rocky Mountain region to potential commercial de' elopment. That policy "frankly never should have happened and "'a "'rong 111 the first place," Salazar ::.aid Thursday. Environmental activists have been pushing for the Obnmn administration to restore protection::. for potential wilderness areas. Salazar said the agency "ill review some 220 million acres of BLM land that's not currently under "ildemess protection to see "hich should be given a nev..· ''Wild Lands" designation - a nev; step for land awaiting a wilderness decision. Congress would decide whether those lands should be designated permanent wildcmess areas. Salazar said. Congressional Republican-. pounced on the ''Wild Lands" announcement as an attempt by the Obama administration to close land to development without congressional approval. "This backdoor approach is intended to circumvent both the people who will be directly affected nnd Congress. I have to question why this announcement is being made only after Congress adjourned for the year," said Washington Rep. Doc Hastings. a Republican tapped to lend to the House i':atural Resources Committee when the GOP takes control of the House in January. • BLM Director Bob Abbey said it hasn't been decided how many acres are expected be designated as ''Wild Lands'' and whether tho~e acres will be offlimits to motorized recreation or commercial development while under congres~ional re" iew. It's also unclear whether there will he a time limit on how long acres can be managed a-. "Wild Lands'' before a decision is made on their future. The BLM has six months to submit a plan for those new wildemess evaluations. These "Wild Lands" would be separate from Wilderness Study Areas that must be authorized by Congress. Wild Lands can be designated by the BLM after a public planning process and ,.,·ould be managed with protective measures detailed in a land use J?l~n. Ranchers, oil men and others have been susplCJous of fedewl plans to lock up land in the \\:est, worryii~g that taking the BLM land out of production would k11l rural economies that rely on ranchers and the eastern Montana oil and gas business. Their suspicions have been heightened -.ince memos leaked in l·ebruary revealed the Obama administration was considering 14 sites in n~ne states for possible presidential monument declaratiOns. That included 2.5 million acres of northeastern Montana prairie land proposed as a possible bi~on rant,;e. alons with sites in Colorado. Utah. New ~textco. California. Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and Washmgton. The :!003 policy was an out-of-cou~ deal stru~k between Norton and then-Utah Gov. ~hchael Leav1tt to remove protections for some 2.6 million acres of public land in that state,. . . .. The policy a!lowed ml and gas dnlhng ..m11111~g and other com•m·rcml uses on land under consideration as wildernes-. areas. Salazar's reversal doesn't affect about X.7 million acres already designated as wildcmess areas. Environmental groups praised the reversal. though there has been grumbling that it took the Obama administration nearly two years to overturn the Bushera policy. "Waslungton D.C. al" ays takes longer than you want, but we're glad we've gotten here.'' said Suzanne Jones, regional director for The \Vildemess Society. • ' ony Erlcssor> AT&T ts t he official wfretess sponsor of Ohio State Athletics.

WNBA's Taurasi tests positive for banned substance NEW YORK (AP) WNBA standout and former UConn star Diana Taurasi tested positive for a mild stimulant v. hile playing in a pro league in Turkey. her lav.) er told The ociated Press on ay night. ward Jacobs said Taurasi's ''A' ' sample came back positive from a Turkish lab Ia t week and she was provisionnlly suspended by the Turkish league she's playing in. She has already 1111ssed three games with her team, Fenerbahce. Jacobs said the substance "was not a steroid or recreational drug,'' and that Tauras1 has asked that her "B" sample be tested. "We're taking it one step at a time," Jacobs sa1d. "1' d rather not say what it JS at this stage, they've only tc ted the ·A' sample. Someho\\ It leaked over in l urkey. We're waning for the •B• sample to be tested. 've had somC' di ffiwith getting a date • mostly because of the holidays. We're hoping to get it as soon as we can." Taurasi's positive test came to light two clnys after her former Huskies wun their 89th traight game. surpassing the UCLA's men's team winning streak set from 1971-74. Taurnsi helped lead UConn to three straight national championships as well as 70 consecutive victorie from 2001-03. She was the AP Player of the Year in 2003. A call to UConn coach Geno Auriemma was not immediately returned. "While she is fully cooperating with authorities, there are enous doubts about the accuracy of the test results," Jacobs said in a statement to the AP. ·•we arc confident that Diana v. ill be fully vindicutcd once nil the evidence is reviewed. She regrets that someone has violated the confidentiality rules of this process, and will make no further statement at thi lime." WNBA spokesman Ron Howard said the league had no comment.

"Diana Taurasi has never taken. of been suspected using. or tested positive for any performance enhancing substance." l ie ~aid he said he didn't know what the length of the suspension would be. nor was he familiar with the details of the Turkish league's anti-doping code. He also said said it was too early to kno'' how this might affect Taurasi's eligibilit) for the London 2012 Game . The International Olympic Committee bars any athlete gh en a doping penalty of six months or more from competing in the next game.

Hardly a way to enjoy the end of the NrL season. That's how folks feel in Minneapolis and Cincinnati and Dt•nver. Take.: away the bad weather and the feelings art•n't any brighter in Dallas, Charlotte and Phoenix . Disappointment abounds in those cities - and throw in Nashville, Houston, Miami and San Francisco, when.~ there wen:- bi& hopes for 20 10 when everybody kicked off in sunshine und balmy breezes 3'! months ago. For every flop. there's an ascension. though. and the smiles fans expected to wear m the cities above now are being • sported by people who root for the Bears. Bucs, Jaguars, Chiefs and even the Rams at 6-8. The NFL' biggest failures and succe ... s stories. and why their seasons went that way: THE GOOD .No team has risen toward the NFL's elite in more stunning fashion than the Bears. Chicago was considered a .500 or '"'orse "'·luad heading into 20 I 0, a likely third-placc finisher in the NFC North - if thc Bears could hold off the Lions . Then Lovie Smith turned his personal hot seat into a torrid team whose defen e and special teams have been so fonnidablc that mistakes by the offense generally have not been cntical. Having a healthy Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs nt linebacker has been critical. and the secondary has developed nicely. Doubters will be vocal when the pla) offs begin nnd the Bears could be an underdog at home even if they earn a bye. because the Eagles. Saints, Falcons and Giants seem to have more supporters. That shouldn't taint "hat has been a temfic turnaround season. 'l\\o other coaches supposedly needing to prove them"elves thi"Jear were Raheern Mmris in 'litmpa an Jack Del Rio in Ja~ksonville .

DT Gerald McCoy, CB Aqib Talib, RB LeGarrette Blount and QH Jo~h Freeman . That cer- tainly bodes well, even if Tampa hasn't defeated an opponent With a '"inning record this year. Not only have the Jaguars been in contention in the Afo'C South - albeit a weakened division in 20 I 0 - but they haven't been blacked out all season. Maybe that's their biggest achievement. Maurice Jones-Drew ha" emerged as a superior running back, the unheralded trio of TE Marcedes Lewis and WRs Mike Thomas and ·Mike Sims-Walker have combined for 19 touchdowns receiving. and the defensive has some rising stars in Terrance Knighton, Jeremy Mincey and Tyson Alualu. St. Louis, meanwhile. could become the first sub-.500 division winner in league history. The Rams have become competitive m Steve Spa~nuolo's second year as coach w1th a vastly improved defense led by youngsters DE Chris Long, LB James Laurinaitis and CB Bradley Fletcher. Helped by superb RB Steven Jackson, top overall draft pick Sam Bradford has been better than anyone could expect from n rookie quarterback throwmg to an obscure group of receiver:.. How many people know Danny Amendola? Well, he leads the Rams with 75 receptions, more catches than Calvin Johnson. Greg Jcnnin~s or Brandon Marshall.
