PHOENIX — A caller told an emergency dispatcher that a masked man raced into a Phoenix bank and then calmly described how police gunned down the suspect minutes later as he fled with a bag of cash. “They’re shooting, they’re shooting,� the 911 caller said.

Ten seconds later: “One guy down. He’s down.� The caller, who was getting breakfast at a nearby restaurant, said the wounded man was on the ground and not moving.

The 911 call and surveillance footage taken during the weekend heist were released Monday as investigators tried to piece together how the man connected to two bank robberies in the Southeast last week ended up 1,500 miles

away in Phoenix.

Mario Edward Garnett, 40, died in a police shootout Saturday morning while trying to flee the Compass Bank branch in west Phoenix.

Authorities have connected Garnett to a Dec. 23 bank robbery attempt in Atlanta, a bank robbery later that same day in Tupelo and the shooting death of Tupelo Officer Gale Stauffer -- a former Alcorn County resident and the wounding of Officer Joseph Maher.

Officer Joseph Maher released from the hospital Police Chief Bart Aguirre says Maher was released from the hospitalTuesday morning.

Church members coping after Christmas Eve fire

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON

“It was devastating. We’re just going to trust in God.�

bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Members of the Crossroads Full Gospel Church are putting their faith in God as they look to the next chapter for their congregation following a devastating fire last week.

Fire ripped through the church around 8 a.m. on the morning of Christmas Eve, demolishing the church’s main auditorium and classroom building. Michael Rutherford with the Booneville Fire Department said firefighters were called to the church, located just off of Meadow Creek Road, around 8 a.m. after a neighbor

Stanley Shook Pastor, Crossroads Full Gospel Church

spotted flames coming from the building and called 911.

Rutherford said Monday they know the fire started in an area to the right of the front door of the church. There was a heater located in the area, but they haven’t been able to make a specific determination about the exact cause of the fire, said

Rutherford.

Pastor Stanley Shook said the fire was major blow to the approximately 70-member congregation, but they are looking toward the future and believe it’s all part of God’s plan. “It was devastating,� he said. “We’re just going to trust in God.�

The church was able to hold services Sunday in their fellowship hall which was undamaged in the fire. Shook said they’ve been blessed by the support from people in the community since the fire happened and they’re looking toward the future with hope. “There have been people that have reached out from all over,� he said.

Shook said he believes God is working through this for something better. “I know without a shadow of a doubt God has got this under control,� he said.

The church has already

cleared away the remains of the burned building and will be working in the coming weeks to plan fundraisers and look at ways to begin moving toward rebuilding. He asks that the community continue to pray for them and he’s grateful for all those who have reached out with offers of help. “It just means so much to us,� he said.

Mississippi Silicon creating 200 jobs Staff Reports

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 1, the first day of 2014. There are 364 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that slaves in rebel states shall be “forever free.”

On this date: In 1660, Englishman Samuel Pepys wrote the first entry of his famous diary.

In 1892, the Ellis Island Immigrant Station in New York formally opened.

In 1913, the U.S. Parcel Post system went into operation.

In 1939, the technology company HewlettPackard was founded

by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard in a garage in Palo Alto, Calif.

In 1942, 26 countries, including the United States, signed the Declaration of the United Nations, pledging “not to make a separate armistice or peace” with members of the Axis.

In 1953, country singer Hank Williams Sr., 29, was discovered dead in the back seat of his car during a stop in Oak Hill, W.Va., while he was being driven to a concert date in Canton, Ohio.

In 1954, NBC broadcast the first coast-tocoast color TV program as it presented live coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

In 1959, Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries overthrew Cuban leader Fulgencio Batista, who fled to the Dominican Republic.

In 1984, the breakup of AT&T took place as the telecommunications giant was divested of its 22 Bell System companies under terms of an antitrust agreement.

In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect.

BURNSVILLE — Gov. Phil Bryant and officials announced Tuesday that Mississippi Silicon will locate a new silicon metal production facility in Burnsville.

Mississippi Silicon is investing $200 million in the project, which will create 200 jobs.

The new Mississippi-based facility will produce silicon metal for a broad range of industries in the United States including the aluminum, automotive and chemical industries. Mississippi Silicon’s high-tech facility is expected to be one of the most efficient and cost competitive silicon metal production facilities in the world.

Phil Bryant. “Mississippi is strongly positioned for growth in advanced manufacturing, and I am pleased to see another company placing its faith in our world-class workforce. We look forward to working with Mississippi Silicon and wish the company many years of success.”

“Rima is proud to be joining forces with a high-profile group of investors, and we look forward to supporting our global network of silicon metal customers and especially our United States-based customers with this new facility,” added Rima Industrial CEO and President Ricardo Vicintin. “Rima con-

sidered many locations around the world for the new facility, and we greatly appreciate the support and enthusiasm shown by the citizens and government leaders in Mississippi.”

In support of the project, the Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance through the Mississippi Industry Incentive Financing Revolving Fund for building construction and workforce training, as well as the state’s New Market Tax Credits.

Tishomingo County and Tennessee Valley Authority provided assistance for the project, as well.

ROBBER CONTINUED FROM 1A

out quietly. He says in a news release that Maher’s family has requested privacy in the coming weeks as Maher continues to heal.

Aguirre says Maher faces several surgeries.

The robberies came about five months after Garnett was released from federal prison. He was incarcerated for nearly two years after pleading guilty to threatening to kill President Barack Obama in 2010.

Three minutes into the Phoenix 911 call, the caller said the masked man exited the bank and started firing at an officer who had just arrived. A detective who came to the officer’s aid killed Garnett. No one else was injured in the robbery or gunbattle.

A 12-second clip of bank surveillance video shows a man walking in wearing a dark ski cap and a bandanna over his face. He stops to place a wedge on the floor to keep the door from

closing behind him, then moves briskly into the bank pointing a handgun.

Another clip shows the robber, still holding a gun, pulling a bag from his back pocket. On the last few seconds of the video, the man walks to the exit holding the bag and picks up the doorstop before dashing outside.

Many questions remain about the robberies and Garnett’s trip from Mississippi to Arizona.

The Phoenix Police Department said Garnett had no known family, friends or other connections to Arizona. It was unclear where Garnett had been and what he had been doing while in Arizona. He drove a rental car, but police said it wasn’t rented in Phoenix.

The FBI offices in Mis-

sissippi and Arizona declined to comment Monday.

Authorities tied Garnett to the series of robberies through his cellphone. Records showed his phone was in Atlanta, Phoenix and Tupelo at the time of each incident, said Daniel McMullen, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Jackson, Miss.

McMullen said there were “numerous similarities” between the three bank robberies, including the clothing worn by the suspect and statements he made during the incidents.

On Dec. 23, an armed man wearing a ski mask tried to rob a Bank of America branch in Atlanta, authorities said.

After failing to get money from a teller, the man de-

manded and received an undisclosed amount from an ATM user in the bank’s lobby.

Later that day, someone stole an undisclosed amount of money from the BancorpSouth in Tupelo, Miss., before fleeing, the FBI said. The suspect ambushed two officers responding to a bank alarm, killing one and wounding the other, McMullen said.

Three years ago, Garnett pleaded guilty in Oklahoma to a federal charge of threatening to kill and inflict bodily harm on the president. The Secret Service said in court documents that Garnett posted threatening comments about Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the official White House website in August 2010.

Coming Up Jim Hastings of Corinth handcrafts custom made Western gun holsters and belts that are shipped all across the United States.

Ten years ago: Gen. Pervez Musharraf, the military ruler of Pakistan, won a vote of confidence from both houses of parliament and the country’s four provincial assemblies validating his five-year term as president.

“The tremendous support at the local and state levels was a key factor in the decision to locate our operations in Tishomingo County,” said Mississippi Silicon Chairman of the Board John Correnti. “Mississippi Silicon looks forward to becoming an engine of economic growth in northeast Mississippi.”

Mississippi Silicon is a strategic partnership between Rima Holdings USA, Inc., and domestic investor group Clean Tech I, LLC. “I congratulate the team at Mississippi Silicon for becoming the state’s newest corporate partner and for choosing Tishomingo County,” said Gov.

Corinth, Miss.

Inequality: Crisis or scam When President Richard Nixon arrived in Beijing in 1972, Chairman Mao Zedong — with his Marxist revolution, Great Leap Forward and Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution — had achieved an equality unrivaled anywhere.

That is, until Pol Pot came along.

There seemed to be no priPatrick vate cars on Beijing’s streets.

Buchanan In the stores, there was next to nothing on the shelves. The Columnist Chinese all seemed dressed in the same blue Mao jackets.

Today there are billionaires and millionaires in China, booming cities, a huge growing middle class and, yes, hundreds of millions of peasants still living on a few dollars a day.

Hence, there is far greater inequality in China today than in 1972.

Yet, is not the unequal China of today a far better place for the Chinese people than the Communist ant colony of Mao? Lest we forget, it is freedom that produces inequality.

Yet for many people, from New York Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio to President Barack Obama to Pope Francis, income inequality is a curse in need of a cure, as there is today said to be an intolerable measure of such inequality.

But let us first inspect the measuring rod.

Though a family of four with $23,550 in cash income in 2013 qualified as living in poverty, this hardly tells the whole story.

Consider the leveling effect of the graduated income tax, about which Karl Marx wrote glowingly in his “Communist Manifesto.”

The top 1 percent of U.S. earners pay nearly 40 percent of U.S. income taxes. The top 10 percent pay 70 percent. The top 50 percent pay more than 97 percent of income taxes.

The poor pay nothing.

Secondly, though 15 percent of U.S. families qualify as poor, measured by cash income, this does not take into account the vast assortment of benefits they receive.

The poor have their children educated free in public schools, from Head Start to K-12 and then on to college with Pell Grants. Their medical needs are taken care of through Medicaid. They receive food stamps to feed the family. The kids can get two or three free meals a day at school.

Housing, too, is paid for or subsidized. The poor also receive welfare checks and Earned Income Tax Credits for added cash.

In the late 1940s, our family had no freezer, no dishwasher, no clothes washer or dryer, no microwave, no air conditioning. We watched the Notre Dame-Army game on a black-andwhite 8-inch DuMont.

Among American families in poverty today, 1 in 4 have a freezer. Nearly half have automatic dishwashers. Almost 60 percent have a home computer. About 2 in 3 poor families have a clothes washer and dryer. Eighty percent have cellphones.

Ninety-three percent of the poor have a microwave; 96 percent a color TV, and 97 percent a gas or electric stove. Not exactly les miserables.

Robert Rector of The Heritage Foundation added up the cost in 2012 of the means-tested federal and state programs for America’s poor and low-income families. Price tag: $927 billion.

There are 79 federal programs, writes Rector, that provide cash, food, housing, medical care, social services, training and targeted education to poor and low-income Americans.

Then there are the contributions of churches, charities and foundations.

Where in history have the poor been treated better?

Certainly not in the USA in the 1950s or during the Depression. Why, then, all this sudden talk about reducing the gap between rich and poor?

A good society will take care of its poor. But envy that others have more, and coveting the goods of the more successful, used to constitute two of the seven capital sins in the Baltimore Catechism.

At Howard University in 1965, President Lyndon Johnson declared, “We seek not just ... equality as a right ... but equality as a fact and equality as a result.”

Yet the only way to make people who are unequal in talents equal in rewards is to use governmental power to dispossess some and favor others.

Alexis de Tocqueville saw it coming: “The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality or to get men to believe you love it.

Thus, the science of despotism, which was once so complex, is simplified, and reduced ... to a single principle.”

Get people to believe you are seeking the utopian goal of equality of all and there is no limit to the power you can amass.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)

Pena proves himself an efficient reformer Most Americans have an image of Mexico as a nation convulsed by violent drug wars and sending hundreds of thousands of desperate immigrants across our southern border.

That image is out-of-date.

The drug war has largely quieted down and scarcely affects most of the country while, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, net migration from Mexico to the United States since 2007 has fallen to zero.

What has been happening in Mexico recently is far more encouraging: the culmination of reforms that have been in train, but have been frustratingly delayed, for the last 25 years.

Some historical background is in order. For 71 years, Mexican politics and government was totally dominated by the paradoxically named Party of the Institutional Revolution, which held the presidency and virtually all governorships from 1929 to 2000.

Under the PRI system, presidents served one sixyear term, and in their last year — usually a time of catastrophes — chose their successors, who paraded around the country and were elected without difficulty.

Once in office, the new president blamed all his problems on his predecessor, who often left the country. This system suited the sensibility of a nation whose culture is still at least partly Aztec: It combined elements of calendri-

cal regularity, elaborate ceremony and human sacrifice.

This system worked Michael tolerably well Barone for 30-some Columnist years. But as time went on, it produced widespread corruption, periodic currency devaluations and massive outmigration.

Mexico seemed to be falling further behind the U.S. Reform began when the Machiavellian President Carlos Salinas, elected in 1988, started opening up its political process and was joined by Texans George H. W. Bush and Lloyd Bentsen in pushing successfully for the North American Free Trade Agreement. With support from Bill Clinton, Congress approved NAFTA in 1993.

Mexico reformed its electoral process in the 1990s, with key verification from exit poll pioneer Warren Mitofsky. PRI lost its congressional majorities in 1997, and in 2000, Vicente Fox of the center-right PAN party was elected president over the candidates of the PRI and the leftist PRD. In 2006, Fox was succeeded by the PAN’s Felipe Calderon.

But Fox and Calderon were unable to reform Mexico’s government-owned oil company Pemex or its dysfunctional union-dominated education system because of united congressional opposition by the PRI

and PRD. And they got sidetracked on other issues -- Fox in responding to Zapatista protests, Calderon in waging war (with the army) on the drug lords.

In July 2012, Mexicans PRI returned to power with the election of Enrique Pena Nieto. He looked like a conventional politician: governor of the state that includes most Mexico City suburbs, movie star handsomely, a widower who was wooing a telenovela star.

But Pena has proved to be an effective reformer. On taking office, he joined with the PAN and PRD in a Pact for Mexico that produced tripartisan reforms.

One was in education, with teacher promotion determined by merit rather than (this is not a misprint) heredity. The day after the reform was passed, Elba Esther Gordillo, the powerful head of the teacher union, was arrested for embezzlement.

The coalition also passed telecom reform, potentially cutting rates that have made Telmex owner, Carlos Slim, one of the richest people in the world.

The toughest issue was reforming Pemex, the monopoly created when PRI President Lazaro Cardenas nationalized oil companies in 1938. One-third of government revenues come from Pemex, but production fell 27 percent between 2004 and 2013.

Pemex’s Cantarell oilfield in the Gulf is sputtering,

and it lacks the expertise and capital to tap Mexico’s plentiful shale oil and gas reserves. But the idea that “the people” own Mexico’s oil still has wide appeal, and PRD split from the coalition and opposed change.

It passed with PRI and PAN support in December.

Now foreign oil firms will be able to invest and book Mexican resources as reserves, stimulating growth and job creation.

Mexico’s manufacturing sector has been booming and increasingly competitive with China, and the country is graduating record numbers of engineers and scientists.

By many measures, Mexico is now a majority middle-class nation. Mexicans are buying (mortgagefinanced) houses in new subdivisions and driving to Wal-Mart and Costco shopping malls in their pickups and SUV’s.

Pena’s reforms have pushed Mexico sharply forward on a path on which it had already made significant progress.

That’s good news for Mexico — and for its neighbors to the north.

Book a trip to New York NEW YORK CITY — It is perhaps encouraging that the worst claustrophobia I felt here in Manhattan during the run up to Christmas was in a bookstore, the famous Strand at Broadway and Twelfth.

The Strand advertises that it holds 18 miles of books, not a one of them with a hyphen “e” before it.

And if there were 18 miles of books, there was a marathon-size crowd of shoppers.

The crush three days before Christmas felt more like a European soccer game letting out than a bookstore.

I bought books. So did a lot of other folks. The New York Daily News reported several days later that the day before Christmas Eve was the best for the family business in its 86 years of operation. Besides record sales, there were two marriage proposals. Romance in the rows. I like it.

Despite the crowds, a friendly Strand clerk actually asked if he could help me find something. I almost dropped my James

Baldwin. And the checkout process was efficient and fast. If the box stores operated like Rheta the Strand, Johnson you might not dread goColumnist ing.

The bookstore wasn’t the only crowded place, of course. Some comedian compared the throngs walking to see the famous tree at Rockefeller Center to the Bataan Death March. There was a certain forced feeling to the hike, all right, as if you’d be in real trouble if you changed your mind about seeing the tree and tried to walk in the opposite direction.

As always, the best things about New York were not in the guide book. A talented young classical pianist was playing a baby grand that he’d somehow rolled into Washington Square. He was getting generous tips, perhaps enough to call Two Men and a Truck when the

outdoor concert ended.

A jazz band wearing Santa hats over white hair strolled through Angelo’s in Little Italy playing Christmas tunes. Diners took a break from their manicotti and linguini long enough to applaud and sing.

The Salvation Army kettle-keepers danced wildly to encourage contributions.

There was, in fact, a lively beat to the entire city. You couldn’t get away from music, which is the way Christmas should be.

At the famous FAO Schwarz toy store, adults seemed more fascinated with giant stuffed pandas and piano keys on the floor than did the children, which is convenient since adults are the ones with the credit cards.

I’ll have to admit I was a little disappointed in one Christmas staple: the Macy’s windows. All my life I’ve heard of their Christmas magic. And there was a lot of high-tech, interactive shimmering going on as an animated boy has a magical dream involving half a

dozen windows and deer and forests and fairies and bubbles and such.

But for my money, the exquisite, huge Russian nesting dolls at Anthropologie were better. Not to mention the Saks Fifth Avenue window, where the Abominable Snowman shares a subway car with Don Draper and Joan Harris from “Mad Men.” I guess window preference is a lot like the clothing inside. To each his own. And I saw everything on Fifth Avenue from furs to jeans, including furs with jeans.

I’m here to tell you, however, two sartorial items are obligatory. This winter in New York, everyone’s wearing boots — of every species and sub-species — and stocking caps, the kind the bad guys wore in “Home Alone.”

Don’t even think of traveling to The City without them.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

Almighty God, lead me in the search for life. Teach me what is important and what is unimportant; what is false, and what is true. Remove the hindrances that keep me from the worthiest deeds, and grant that I may have the peace that comes with surrender of self to thy will. Amen.

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: “ — John 1:11-12

Nation Briefs Associated Press

Obama’s health law at a crossroads WASHINGTON — All things good, bad and unpredictable converge with the new year for President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul as the law’s major benefits take effect, along with an unpopular insurance mandate and a risk of more nerve-wracking disruptions to coverage.

The changes bring big improvements for some, including Howard Kraft of Lincolnton, N.C. A painful spinal problem left him unable to work as a hotel bellman. But he’s got coverage because federal law now forbids insurers from turning away people with health problems.

What’s good for millions like Kraft is secured through what others see as an imposition: requiring virtually every American to get covered, either through an employer, a government program, or by buying a plan directly.

But the health care headlines early this year could come from continued unpredictable consequences of the insurance program’s messy rollout.

The consumer-facing side of the HealthCare. gov website appears to be largely fixed — with 2.1 million enrolled through federal and state websites. But on the back end, insurers say they are still receiving thousands of erroneous sign-ups from the government.

That means early in the year insured pa-

tients could go for a medication refill — or turn up in the emergency room — only to be told there is no record of their coverage.

One of the main worries is over certain error-tainted enrollment records that insurers call “orphans� and “ghosts.� “Orphans� are signups that the government has a record of, but they do not appear in insurer systems.

Insurers say those customers never left the government’s “orphanage� to “go and live� with the carrier they selected. “Ghosts� are new customers that the insurer does have a record of, but mysteriously the information does not appear in the government’s computers.

The Obama administration says the rate of such errors has been dramatically reduced, and insurers agree. The catch is that the volume of sign-ups has surged in the meantime, which means even with a lower error rate the number of problem cases keeps growing. And there is no automated way to clear up mistakes quickly. Â

All-clear for town near oil train derail CASSELTON, N.D. — A southeastern North Dakota town narrowly escaped tragedy when a train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded nearby, the mayor said Tuesday, calling for changes in how the fuel is transported across the U.S. No one was hurt in

State Briefs

Monday’s derailment of the mile-long train that sent a great fireball and plumes of black smoke skyward about a mile from the small town of Casselton. The fire had been so intense as darkness fell that investigators couldn’t get close enough to count the number of burning cars.

Worries about the smoke plume prompted officials to ask Casselton’s 2,400 residents to voluntarily evacuate Monday evening, and most did. The recommendation was lifted Tuesday afternoon, but officials were urging residents south of the derailment to remain vigilant about changing conditions, Cass County Commissioner Ken Pawluk said.

Residents said the blasts endured for hours after the derailment, shaking their homes and businesses. A BNSF spokeswoman said 18 tanker cars burned.

Pawluk estimated that the fire was about 80 to 90 percent burned out

by Tuesday afternoon.

National Transportation Safety Board officials on the scene said the agency’s investigation would examine the train recorder, the signal system, the condition of the train operators, train and tracks, as well as the response to the derailment.

Board member Robert Sumwalt said the tankers involved were DOT-111s, a model that has shown a tendency to rupture in other accidents, but he said it wasn’t immediately clear if they were newer, safer DOT-111s or the older models.

Associated Press

Amtrak to suspend some services in ‘14 JACKSON— Amtrak passenger train service will shut down in Mississippi and other areas in the Southeast for several days in January and February for rail maintenance by Norfolk Southern Railway.

Amtrak said in a news release that service will not be provided between Atlanta; Anniston, Birmingham and Tuscaloosa in Alabama; Meridian, Laurel, Hattiesburg and Picayune in Mississippi; and Slidell and New Orleans in Louisiana.

North and southbound trains on the route will terminate and begin service in Atlanta.

The maintenance dates are Jan. 6-9; Jan. 20-23; Jan. 27-30; and Feb. 3-6 “We do not own that track, we do not maintain that track, but we do operate over that track,� said Amtrak spokesman Steve Kulm.

However, the weekend schedule will remain the same, Amtrak officials said. Â

In March, 16-year-old Nikki Yeager died after the car she was in was hit by a car trying to make it across the intersection.

There’s no traffic light; only a stop sign stands to direct traffic. “It’s a five-lane road and sometimes people have to race to get across it. It’s a dangerous intersection,� said Horn Lake Mayor Allen Latimer.

Yeager along with DeSoto County Supervisor Lee Caldwell and Horn Lake leaders are bringing the issue to the attention of the Mississippi Department of Transportation. “I want them to know how important it is to get a light there. I’ve known other people who have had wrecks there, too.

It’s a bad intersection.

Something needs to be done. If I can save one life it will be worth it. “It’s not just because it was my daughter. This intersection needs to be looked at for every indi-

vidual,â€? Yeager said.Â

Margaritaville to build new hotel BILOXI — The owners of Margaritaville Casino in Biloxi will build a new hotel next spring with an eye toward a 2015 opening.

Doug Shipley, Margaritaville’s president/CEO, said in a news release Tuesday that the new hotel will feature 250 rooms including 170 deluxe guest rooms and 80 two- and three-bedroom suites. He said the casino will offer some timeshare units. “Margaritaville Biloxi will be making a considerable investment in creating a resort destination the likes of which Biloxi has never seen. “The addition of timeshares to our hotel will attract a whole new type of customer; one that’s not currently visiting the Biloxi area. It truly is an exciting opportunity for our city,�

Shipley said.

DeSoto, MDOT look at intersection HORN LAKE — An intersection at Goodman Road and Dunbarton Drive in Horn Lake is at the center of a debate for a new traffic signal.

One mother is leading the charge in honor of her daughter who was killed at the intersection earlier this year. “By the time I got (to the intersection) she was already in the ambulance,� said Lisa Yeager.

Lung cancer scans urged for some smokers WASHINGTON — Certain current or former heavy smokers should start getting yearly scans for lung cancer to cut their risk of death from the nation’s top cancer killer, government advisers said Monday — even as they stressed that the tests aren’t for everyone.

The long-anticipated decision by the influential U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says these CT scans of the lungs should be offered only to people at especially high risk: those who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years or an equivalent amount, such as two packs a day for 15 years — and who are between the ages of 55 and 80.

That’s roughly 10 million people, but not all of them qualify for screening, said task force vice chairman Dr. Michael LeFevre, a University of Missouri family physician. Even those high-risk people shouldn’t be scanned if they’re not healthy enough to withstand cancer treatment, or if they kicked the habit more than 15 years ago.

Lung cancer kills nearly 160,000 Americans each year.

Smoking is the biggest risk factor, and the more and longer people smoke, the higher their risk. Usually, lung cancer is diagnosed too late for treatment to succeed, but until now there hasn’t been a good means of early detection.

The newly recommended screening could prevent as many as 20,000 deaths a year, LeFevre said — if it’s used correctly.

That estimate assumes good candidates seek the scans.

There’s no way to know if people at the highest risk will, or if instead the overly anxious will flood testing centers.

Screen the wrong people, “and we could see more harm than good,” LeFevre cautioned.

“There’s a lot of room for what I would call people exploiting the recommendation. I can imagine a street-corner imaging center advertising to invite people in.”

School of Seven Bells co-founder Curtis dies DALLAS — Benjamin Curtis, guitarist and co-founder of the popular indie-rock band School of Seven Bells, has died of cancer.

He was 35.

Brady Brock with New Yorkbased GoldVE Entertainment, which co-manages the band, says Curtis died Sunday evening of lymphoblastic lymphoma at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Curtis was diagnosed just under a year ago.

An Oklahoma native, Curtis lived in Dallas, where he played in bands including Tripping Daisy and Secret Machines. Brock says Secret Machines relocated to New York before Curtis went on to form School of Seven Bells with Alejandra de la Deheza.

Brock said Tuesday that Curtis gathered acclaim not just as a guitarist but also as an innovative composer and musician.

Funeral services had not been arranged as of Tuesday.

State Briefs Associated Press

Auditors looking at gasoline purchases HATTIESBURG — Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree says an investigator with the state auditor’s office has met with city employees to gather information about the use of city-issued credit cards used for gasoline purchases.

DuPree tells the Hattiesburg American that the investigator also met with the cards’ issuer, Pine Belt Oil. “We are in the process of tightening up the security measures we have,” DuPree said about use of the cards.

Auditor’s office spokesman Brett Kittredge says the office received an inquiry and was looking into it. He declined to elaborate.

The issue came up at a city council work session on Dec. 16. Councilman Carter Carroll asked about November charges of more than $10,000 from two cards issued to the Department of Water and Sewer that were on claims

docket.

DuPree acknowledged his office had been aware of potential problems dating back six months. He said the police department had been investigating.

DuPree said questionable expenses over that period could run as high as $16,000.

Gasoline cards from Pine Belt Oil are assigned to every city vehicle, with each having their own PIN numbers printed on the back.

Most of the cards are limited to the city fueling facility but certain vehicles — police and fire vehicles in West Hattiesburg and the mayor’s car — can use other Pine Belt Oil-owned locations.

10 interview for constable VICKSBURG — Warren County supervisors have wrapped up interviews for 10 people who applied for constable in the county’s central district.

The Vicksburg Post reports that the interviews were conducted Monday.

The office became vacant when six-year incumbent Randy Naylor died Nov. 7. The supervisors’ choice will hold the seat at least through Nov. 4, 2014, when a special election for the office will be held. The winner will serve out the current term which ends in January 2016.

A constable’s main job is to serve justice court papers and other legal briefs. They also have general law enforcement powers. They’re paid $35 for each justice court paper served.

erratically. They’re given away for free, not sold. And if you get a certificate to claim one, you have to redeem it at a Washington law office.

The limited edition bobbleheads of Supreme Court justices are the work of law professor Ross Davies, who has been creating them for the past 10 years. When finished, they arrive unannounced on the real justices’ desks, secreted there by unnamed confederates. And fans will go to some lengths to get one.

Subscribing to the journal is the most reliable way to get a voucher to claim a bobblehead when they are released, but there’s no guarantee. The certificates warn that the bearer “might be able” to exchange it for a bobblehead, and the journal also hands out some bobbleheads to non-subscribers, including law school public interest groups that auction them at fundraisers. Some ultimately wobble their way onto eBay, where they reliably sell for hundreds of dollars.

The justices themselves seem to have been charmed by their caricatures. Antonin Scalia once said in an interview that he understands his is the most popular. Stephen Breyer had four of the figures of his colleagues on display in his chambers during a 2009 C-SPAN interview. His own is currently in the works.

And former Chief Justice William Rehnquist sent a thank-you note for his, which was the first to come out in 2003.

Davies said the idea for the bobbleheads came to him in the shower. In the decade since, he has immortalized 16 justices in ceramic, including four of the current court’s nine members.

Time to make a fresh start DEAR READERS: Welcome to 2014! It seems like the world spins faster every year. With each new year comes our chance for a new beginning.

It’s an opportunity to discard destructive old habits and create healthy new ones. With that in mind, I will share my oftenrequested list of New Year’s resolutions that were adapted by my mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon: JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality.

I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be

agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I Abigail will improve Van Buren my appearance, speak Dear Abby softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully — if only for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take the responsibility for my own actions.

And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by I.J. Bhatia, a reader from New Delhi, India: DEAR ABBY: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say: “Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the

true eternal laws of nature.”

The prayer of St. Francis (of which there are several versions) contains a powerful message: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; “Where there is hatred, let me sow love; “Where there is injury, pardon; “Where there is doubt, faith; “Where there is despair, hope; “Where there is darkness, light; “And where there is sadness, joy.

“Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; “To be understood, as to understand; “To be loved, as to love; “For it is in giving that we receive, “It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, “And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”

And so, Dear Readers, may this new year bring with it good health, peace and joy to all of you. — LOVE, ABBY (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When trying to persuade someone to do what serves your agenda, it is always helpful to consider what might serve their agenda, as well. A small shift in your approach will make all the difference.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know what makes you happy, and the other person involved knows as well as you. This shared knowledge is beautiful, mostly because it means you don’t have to talk too much about it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

A tug-of-war situation will end.

The person who gets the victory may be spared the experience of being dragged through the mud. Then again, if the fight is fair, everyone will wind up dirty in the end.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Have you found the perfect job for your style of relating to people? It’s close to perfect. But just because you do something well doesn’t mean you should resign yourself to continue for-

ever in this fashion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The people who were impressed by you may soon find your story rather commonplace.

Change it up, add a new twist, or decide that you never really needed their attention in the first place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Get rid of hard-to-classify rubbish. It sits in drawers and boxes under the bed, and it collects in your emotional world, too. If you don’t know what it is or how to use it, get rid of it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

This is the time to view your financial world from a long-term perspective. Set up savings and investment plans. People who share your vision of the future will help you stick to the plan.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You stopped expecting someone to be who you want him or her to be, and now whatever this person does, you take it as a sweet surprise. That’s why love seems especially happy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re in a position to make decisions that can’t wait until later. Even if you don’t have all of the information, you’ll have to make a choice. Don’t overthink. Act with certainty regardless of whether that’s how you really feel.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may not understand how to please a loved one, but you know how to make this person angry. Avoiding that action will be the key to relationship success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Be better to yourself than you have been in the past few weeks, and this will help you accept the good fortune coming your way. Act quickly to recognize and alleviate negative tension.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You may feel like no one is paying attention, and you’re eager to make some noise. But before you do, enjoy the obscurity. You are free to experiment now! Later that won’t be the case.

Drama and scandal highlight 2013 Sprint Cup season the cars were barely visible at a distance and sprinkles of rain on some parts of the track, NASCAR officials said there would be just one attempt at a green-white-checkered-flag finish once the track was cleared from a Lap 184 crash.

On the final lap, Carl Edwards led as the cars entered Turn Three and went out of clear view for many of the spectators on the frontstretch. As the leaders came down the frontstretch for the final time, it was difficult for fans in the stands — with only the fronts of the cars visible, and barely so at that — to see who was leading. But as the cars rounded the tri-oval and the sides of the cars came into view, fans were stunned to see the No. 34 Ford of David Ragan leading his Front Row Motorsports teammate David Gilliland as the two motored away from the rest of the field.

Kenseth, wound up beating Johnson in the win column, with seven race victories to Johnson’s six, but he faltered down the stretch of the Chase.

Still, it was a remarkable year for Kenseth in his first season at Joe Gibbs Racing after spending most of his career behind the wheel of a Ford owned by Jack Roush.

The ever-popular Dale Earnhardt Jr. was strong from the start of the season to the end. He finished second in the opener at Daytona and third in the finale at Homestead. In between, he had five other finishes of second or third, and ended the season fifth in points, his best showing since 2006, when he finished fifth.

Patrick’s pole at Daytona set off a frenzy of Danica Mania, which dominated the talk of Speedweeks at Daytona and continued for weeks afterward.

She led five laps in the 500 and finished eighth, but those two Sundays wound up being the highlight of her season, as she didn’t record another top-10 finish, had an average finish of 26.1 and was 27th in the final points standings. She lost the Rookie of the Year title to her boyfriend, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who also won a pole, at Atlanta, and had one top-5 finish, a third at Talladega in the fall, three top-10s and finished the season 19th in points.

Johnson’s drive to his sixth championship featured his usual mid-season swoon, followed by a show of strength in the 10 championship-deciding Chase races.

He started the season with a win in the Daytona 500, and was among the dominant drivers for most of the first two-thirds of the seaon. But as he often does, he suffered through a late-summer stretch of disappointing finishes. He was 40th in the 23rd race of the season, at Michigan, then finished 36th at Bristol, 28th at Atlanta and 40th at Richmond to end the regular season.

But when the Chase started at Chicagoland Speedway, he finished fifth and had just two finishes outside the top 6 in the final 10 races. His worst Chase finish was a 13th, at Jimmie Johnson, 2013 Sprint Talladega.

Chase regulars miss cut

Brad Keselowski missed the Chase by 31 points.

One of the bigger stories of the season was the absence of some regular Chase contenders from the elite group that ran for the title over the final 10 races.

Defending Cup champion Brad Keselowski missed the cut for the Chase by the same number of points — 31 — that his No. 2 team was penalized for rules infractions during the regular season. His team did not get back up to speed until midway through the Chase, when he scored his only Cup win of the season, at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Denny Hamlin missed four full races and part of another with a back injury suffered in the fifth race of the season, at Auto Club Speedway, as he and Joey Logano raced for the win in the closing laps. The lost points caused him to miss the cut.

Three-time champion Tony Stewart also missed the Chase after breaking his right leg in a sprint car crash at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskalooska, Iowa, on Aug. 5.

Stewart isn’t expected to return to the seat of a race car until Speedweeks 2014 at Daytona International Speedway.

A sprint car crash also cost the life of Jason Leffler, a popular NASCAR driver who had run a Cup race at Pocono Raceway the week he died in a crash on June 12 at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, N.J. Dirt racing by NASCAR drivers did have positive results in 2013. The Mudsummer Classic at Eldora Speedway, the Ohio dirt track owned by Tony Stewart, saw the Camping World Truck Series on track for a points-paying event. It was a first for a major NASCAR division since Richard Petty won a race for the series now known as Sprint Cup on the dirt surface at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh back on Sept. 30, 1970.

Austin Dillon won the Eldora event that played out before a packed grandstand and delivered some of the circuit’s most dramatic events of the season. The race was run using a typical dirt-racing format of qualifying and heat races to set the starting lineup for the main event.

The Eldora heats saw veteran driver Norm Benning, in his self-owned, underfunded truck, take the final transfer spot after some hard-nosed racing with youngster Clay Greenfield.

Among those in attendance that night was NASCAR President Mike Helton, who is not always present for Truck Series races.

“I’m here more as a fan than anything, because I wanted to see this race,” Helton said that night.

Another feel-good moment for the sport came in May at Talladega Superspeedway. The Aaron’s 499 turned into a marathon event, with a rain delay causing a three-hour, 36-minute delay in the action.

Following a late-race crash, with the skies so dark that

The 2013 NASCAR season had its share of dramatic moments, from Danica Patrick’s pole-winning run in the season-opening Daytona 500 to Jimmie Johnson’s march to his sixth Sprint Cup title, which saw him battle Matt Kenseth down the Chase stretch all the way to the season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

In between, there was a race-fixing scandal in the regular season finale at Richmond International Raceway, a popular upset victory at Talladega Superspeedway, death and serious injuries to NASCAR drivers in racing crashes, and a strong — though winless — performance by the sport’s most popular driver.

David Ragan won in May at Talladega.

The two drivers from the woefully underfunded team had teamed up to beat the best in the business, coming from 10th and 11th place on the final restart to score the victory, Ragan’s second in Cup, and a runner-up finish for Gilliland, also a Cup career best.

Ragan and Gilliland were in a similar position late in the fall race at Talladega, but a crash caused the race to end under caution, with Jamie McMurray winning, and Ragan and Gilliland finishing sixth and seventh, respectively.

Ragan said it took awhile for the significance of his storybook win to sink in.

“When it happens, you’re thinking about the next race and how you’re going to approach it,” he said. “I’ve actually come to appreciate it more in the months since then.”

The final regular-season race, at Richmond International Raceway, provided the usual drama, as the finishing order there helped set the field for the Chase for the Sprint Cup. But the story soon turned to controversy, as a race-finish-altering scandal gave the sport its biggest black eye in years.

It was eventually determined that Michael Waltrip Racing conspired to drop two of its cars in the finishing order, thereby guaranteeing the third — the No. 56 Toyota of Martin Truex Jr. — a Chase berth at the expense of Ryan Newman.

Newman was leading the race, poised to take a Chase berth, when Waltrip driver Clint Bowyer suspiciously spun, bringing out a caution flag that ended Newman’s run to the front and put in place the series of events that seemingly put Truex in the Chase.

But examination of radio communications between Waltrip team members led to Truex being dropped from the Chase field and Newman added in. Further investigation led to an unprecedented move in which NASCAR added Jeff Gordon, another victim of manipulation at Richmond, as the 13th member of the Chase field.

Truex’s sponsor, NAPA Auto Parts, left the team over the incident, as did Truex, who has moved to Furniture Row Racing, replacing Kurt Busch, who moved to Stewart-Haas Racing.

But as is often the case in NASCAR, the negative news soon was overshadowed by positives about the future. As 2013 came to a close, Richard Childress announced plans to bring back the No. 3 to the Sprint Cup circuit for the first time since Dale Earnhardt lost his life driving that car. Childress’ grandson, Austin Dillon, who has run that number throughout his career, will move to Cup after winning the 2013 Nationwide Series championship.

And NASCAR and its teams have worked in the offseason to develop an aerodynamic package that promises to bring more competitive racing to the intermediate tracks.

Since its first season back in 1995, when it was known as the NASCAR SuperTruck Series, the circuit now called the Camping World Truck Series has featured a mix of veteran drivers content to be racing in a major touring circuit, and young, up-and-comers trying to race their way into the elite Sprint Cup Series.

The 2013 Truck Series season saw the veterans grab their share of headlines, from Johnny Sauter’s win in the circuit’s biggest race, the season opener at Daytona, to Matt Crafton’s clinching of the series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway. A veteran of all three of NASCAR’s top series, Kyle Busch led the Series in wins with five, and his team, which he owns, won the owners title over Crafton’s team, because of its win total as the two wound up tied at 804 points apiece.

But in the bigger picture, the story of the 2013 Truck Series season was the record-setting performances by drivers young and old.

For 2013, NASCAR changed its age rules for the Truck Series, lowering the minimum age to 17 for races on tracks 1.1 miles or shorter and road courses.

That opened the door for youngsters like Chase Elliott and Erik Jones to compete, and both delivered in big ways.

Elliott became the circuit’s youngest pole winner, taking the top spot at Bristol Motor Speedway on Aug. 21, when he was 17 years, 8 months and 24 days old. He took that record from 19-year-old Darrell Wallace Jr., who established the mark at Dover International Speedway on May 31.

Elliott went on to set the record for youngest race winner on Aug. 21, when he emerged from a last-lap duel with Ty Dillon to be first to the

Record-setting performances distinguish Truck Series season in 2013 NUMERICALLY SPEAKING

Matt Crafton, 2013 Camping World Truck Series Champion checkered flag on the road course at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park at age 17 years, 9 months and 4 days.

But that record, too, was short-lived, as Erik Jones set the new mark of 17 years, 5 months and 8 days with his win at Phoenix International Raceway on Nov. 8.

Other marks set by the Truck circuit’s youngsters include Kyle Larson’s victory at Rockingham Speedway on April 14, which was the first major NASCAR victory for a minority driver since Wendell Scott won a Cup race at Jacksonville, Fla., in 1963. Larson is of

Japanese descent.

Like the age records, Larson’s mark was soon overshadowed by Wallace, who won at Martinsville Speedway on Oct. 26 to become the first African-American since Scott to win a major NASCAR race.

Ryan Blaney, the 19-year-old son of Cup driver Dave Blaney, had a spectacular season, winning one race, two poles, and scoring eight top-5 and 13 top-10 finishes en route to nosing out Wallace for the circuit’s Rookie of the Year honors. Blaney also had a win at Iowa Speedway in the Nationwide Series.

Jeb Burton, the 20-year-old son of former Sprint Cup driver Ward Burton, also had a remarkable rookie season, winning one race, seven poles and scoring four other top-5 finishes and 11 top-10s.

There was a record set on the other end of the spectrum, too, as 58-year-old Ken Schrader won the pole for the inaugural Mudsummer Classic at Eldora Speedway to become the oldest driver to win a pole in the Series.

For youngsters like Elliott, the son of Sprint Cup veteran Bill Elliott, the success in the Truck Series came as no surprise. All of the young drivers have been racing for years in lower circuits and have come to expect success wherever they race.

“I felt like at the beginning of the season that we had all the people and pieces in place to win at least one race,” Elliott said. “I’m glad we got the one, but I was hoping for more.

“I’m happy to have done the things we did, and I’m glad to have gotten the experience.

“I’ll be better prepared for next year, and none of it would have happened if NASCAR hadn’t changed the age rules, so I’m thankful for that.”

Rebs bookend ’13 with wins The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze spent 13 years coaching high school football in Tennessee so he feels very comfortable in the Volunteer State.

And his Rebels made sure he started and finished this season with victories in Music City.

Bo Wallace ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score, and Ole Miss beat Georgia Tech 25-17 Monday in the Music City Bowl. The Rebels opened the

season edging Vanderbilt 3935 a couple miles away, and they’ll be back here in September to play the Commodores again.

“It feels like it’s kind of a second home to me also,” Freeze said. “Anytime we can be in this area we enjoy it.”

Freeze said he also needs to get into Tennessee for some more recruiting. Wallace already is a native of Pulaski, Tenn., and Ole Miss’ top rusher this season I’Tavius Mathers is from Murfreesboro, Tenn.

Wallace made up for his three turnovers in the Egg Bowl overtime loss by throwing for 256 yards and running for 86 more, giving him the school record for total yards in a season and most completions in a season, topping Eli Manning for both.

“I knew I needed to have a good game,” said Wallace, also chosen the bowl’s MVP. “At the same time, I thought all day sometimes I try to make too many plays. I think all day I was thinking, ‘Don’t try to make too many plays.

Just make the plays that are there.’ That’s what I did.”

Ole Miss (8-5) now has won six straight bowls and 10 of the last 11 in making up for the lone loss in that stretch in the 2000 Music City Bowl. The Rebels came in tied with Auburn and Florida State, who play Jan. 6 for the BCS national championship, for the longest bowl winning streak.

Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher signs new deal

The Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher will remain with the program through 2018 after signing a three-year contract extension.

Texas reportedly had interest in Fisher replacing coach Mack Brown before Florida State made the announcement on Tuesday.

The top-ranked Seminoles face Auburn in the BCS championship game on Monday night.

“We’re extremely pleased with the direction of our program and believe that this new contract will assure that coach Fisher is in place to lead the Seminoles for a long time to come,” athletic director Stan Wilcox said in a statement.

“Coach Fisher enjoys the full support of the leadership of the university and we look forward to the continued success of our football program on the field and in the classroom.”

Fisher’s previous deal ran through 2015 and paid $2.75 million annually. Details of the extension were not immediately available.

The Seminoles have returned to national prominence in four seasons under Fisher after Florida State posted 7-6 records in three of the last four seasons with coach Bobby Bowden. Florida State went undefeated during the regular season for the first time since 1999 and has won back-to-back Atlantic Coast Conference championships.

The program hadn’t won consecutive conference titles since 2002-03.

Fisher was anointed coach-inwaiting when hired as offensive coordinator in 2007. He previously won a national championship as the LSU offensive coordinator in 2003 with Nick Saban.

“He hasn’t failed to do anything I didn’t think he could do,” Bowden told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “Everywhere he’s been, he’s done an excellent job.

“You never know what kind of head coach a guy’s going to be when he comes from an assistant. ... He’s passed the test in any arena he’s been in.”

Bowden has known of Fisher since he was a quarterback at Samford playing for his son Terry Bowden.

Fisher joined the Samford coaching staff in 1988 and Tommy Bowden sung his praises back then.

Bowden warned the university during the season that it better lock up Fisher long term before other programs tried to steal him away.

“That’s what happens,” Bowden said. “Having the success he has had, every job that comes open his name was going to be in it. Whether he wants to be in it or not.

Gamecocks, Badgers matchup in Cap One The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — It would be understandable if South Carolina and Wisconsin were a little disappointed when they arrived in Orlando for the Capital One Bowl.

Even after some early season setbacks, both teams had a chance to earn spots in a BCS bowl game before coming up short.

But with a New Year’s Day matchup that on paper could be one of the best among the

non-BCS games, neither the eighth-ranked Gamecocks (10-2) nor No. 19 Badgers (93) have had to search for motivation this week.

That’s especially true for Wisconsin, which is trying to snap a three-game bowl losing streak following three straight Rose Bowl losses.

The Badgers climbed as high as No. 15 in the BCS standings, but had their season stunted by early-season losses to Arizona State and Ohio

State and loss to Penn State in their regular-season finale.

“It’s tough. You definitely want to send the seniors out on a high note. I haven’t won a bowl game so I’m anxious to get out there and get a win,” said Badgers running back James White. “It motivates me a lot, and I know it motivates those guys (other seniors) as well. With a new coaching staff, we definitely want to get Coach (Gary) Andersen a bowl win in his first

year.”

Andersen downplayed his first opportunity as Wisconsin’s to play an SEC foe, but did acknowledge the challenge in facing Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier’s offense.

“When you mix coach Spurrier and (quarterback Connor) Shaw together in their offense, it’s a pretty vicious weapon,” Andersen said.

Gator features pair of big-time running backs The Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Georgia and Nebraska are playing with backup quarterbacks — all the more reason to focus on two of the top running backs in the country.

Georgia’s Todd Gurley and Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah could make the Gator Bowl a ground-and-pound celebration on New Year’s Day. Gurley, a 6-foot-1, 232-pound sophomore, has 903 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns despite missing

three-plus games with an ankle injury. He needs 93 yards on the ground against the Cornhuskers on Wednesday to become the third player in school history with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Herschel Walker (1980-83) and Knowshon Moreno (2007-08) also accomplished the feat.

Abdullah, a 5-foot-9, 190-pound junior, has 1,568 yards and eight touchdowns.

Only three Cornhuskers — Mike Rozier, Ahman Green and Lawrence Phillips — have

enjoyed better single seasons than Abdullah.

“There’s no doubt they’re both great backs,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. “They’re different. They have different styles, obviously built differently. ... But great players come in a lot of different shapes and sizes and a lot of different skill sets.”

The 23rd-ranked Bulldogs (8-4) and Cornhuskers (8-4) likely will rely on both in the Gator Bowl, a rematch of last year’s Capital One Bowl in

Orlando.

Georgia is playing its second consecutive game without four-year starter Aaron Murray, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against Kentucky on Nov. 23.

Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez, meanwhile, was limited to four games this season because of a left foot injury.

Tebow: Not done with NFL despite new job at ESPN The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Tim Tebow will continue chasing his goal to be a NFL quarterback, even after signing on to help ESPN launch the SEC Network this fall.

The former Florida Gator said Tuesday he trains five days a week for a return to the league.

“I feel like I’m the best that I’ve ever been as a quarterback right now. I hope I get the opportunity to show that,” he said. “But I’m also looking forward to being part of ‘SEC Nation’ and part of ESPN.”

The 26-year-old Heisman Trophy winner signed on Monday to be on the SEC Network’s pregame show starting in August. He’ll be part of the crew that will travel to Southeastern Conference schools in advance of SEC games on the fledgling network.

Tebow’s first “SEC Nation” show will be on Aug. 28 before Texas A&M opens the season at South Carolina, a game that will be shown exclusively on the SEC Network. Tebow and the show then head to Auburn on Aug. 30 where the Tigers will take

on Arkansas.

That is, of course, if Tebow doesn’t get a call from the NFL that has him tied up that weekend.

“I’m not sure what’s ahead of me,” Tebow said. “I’m very excited to have this opportunity at ESPN, but who knows what the next few months will hold.”

Tebow has bounced around the NFL since leaving Florida as part of two national champions.

He was a first-round selection by Denver and then head coach Josh McDaniels in 2010. He took over as starting

quarterback mid-season in 2011 became one of the NFL’s biggest stories as he went 7-1 in his first eight starts in 2011 then threw an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime to give the Broncos a 29-23 playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But there were still doubts about his passing ability, and Denver traded him that offseason to the New York Jets after acquiring Peyton Manning.

34 double-overtime victory against Georgia Tech. He also caught four passes for 36 yards and a score.

“We have a lot of respect for Gurley,” said Pelini, whose defense allowed Gurley to run for 125 yards and a touchdown last year. “He’s a heck of a football player with his size and his strength. He can do a lot of different things in the running game and the passing game.”

So can Abdullah, who has 51 career receptions for 421 yards and four TDs. “He’s a solid dude, a real tough, physical runner,” Georgia defensive end Garrison Smith said. “The guy can really play football, a hardnosed guy, gets after it, has great vision, can cut back. We’ve got our hands full. He’s a problem ‘cause he’s such a talented back.”

Aside from the star running backs, here are four things to know about Georgia and Nebraska heading into the Gator Bowl.

Nebraska played much of the year without All-Big Ten guard Spencer Long and receiver Jamal Turner. “When you face things like that — tough times as the season goes on — winning eight games isn’t easy,” Pelini said.

“I don’t think people understand that or realize that.”

■ SUSPENSIONS: Georgia will be without safety Josh Harvey-Clemons and cornerback Sheldon Dawson, both suspended for violating team rules. It’s the second suspension for the Harvey-Clemons, who also sat out the season opener against Clemson for violating the athletic program’s marijuana-use policy.

■ MASON’S ENCORE: With Murray out, junior Hutson Mason will make his second career start. Mason completed 22 of 36 passes for 299 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception, against Georgia Tech. “That’s why you come to Georgia: to play these types of games,” Mason said.

■ GREGORY STANDS OUT: When Georgia watched Nebraska on video, defensive end Randy Gregory stood out — and not just because he’s 6-6 and 255 pounds. Gregory leads the Big Ten with 9? sacks, stops that earned him the team’s defensive MVP award.

Football NFL Playoff Glance Wild-card Playoffs Saturday, Jan. 4

TEBOW CONTINUED FROM 10A

fans’ calls for Tebow to replace a struggling Mark Sanchez. Tebow threw just eight passes, ran only 32 times and was cut last April 29.

For six weeks no team wanted him until the Patriots signed him to a low-risk, twoyear contract with no guaranteed money.

“I don’t have any regrets” about the NFL, Tebow said.

“I’ve just tried to focus on being a better quarterback, being a better athlete and being ready whenever a team gave me a call.”

Tebow said he’s spoken with several friends who are analysts, including his former coach at Florida in Urban Meyer, who worked for ESPN between his time with the Gators and his current position as Ohio State head coach.

Justin Connolly, ESPN se-

nior vice president for college networks programming, said Tebow was important enough to ESPN that the network accepted he might not be finished with the NFL. “In terms of specific situations, I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves and comment on any particular eventuality or scenario that you could put together,” Connolly said. “But that’s a key piece of this relationship and we’re

going to honor that and respect it.”

Connolly was asked on Tuesday’s conference call if Tebow’s faith — he’s a noted speaker who’s gained followers and critics for sharing his religious beliefs — might enter into his analysis. Connolly stressed Tebow was hired for his inside knowledge of football and the SEC. “That’s what the audience expects from him,” Connolly said.

“We were all wondering if he’s got a limo to take him out of the (stadium) tomorrow or not,” Spurrier said. “We were kidding him about all the autograph seeking around there. Wait until after the game and he can start charging for his autograph.”

Jokes aside, though, what hasn’t been lost on the Gamecocks is that they will take the field as a 1.5-point underdog despite being the higherranked team.

Spurrier said he mentioned it only briefly before the team arrived in Florida, but it seems the slight did resonate.

“I just kind of take it as a slap in the face,” defensive end Chaz Sutton said this week. “For us to be the (higher) ranked team coming into this game and be labeled as

the underdog, we kind of take it as a slap in the face as a team collectively because we know what type of guys we’ve got coming to this (stadium).”

Here are five things to watch for in Wednesday’s Capital One Bowl: ■ NEW FULLBACK. Spurrier said that starting FB Connor McLaurin “cracked an ankle” during practice and won’t play. Starting in his place will be walk-on Garrison Gist, with reserve RB Brandon Wilds also expected to play.

■ SHAW SHOW. South Carolina QB Connor Shaw is trying to cap what has already been one of the best careers in Gamecocks’ history. He has battled injuries this season, but still managed to pass for 2,135 yards and 21 TDs.

■ BADGERS BACKFIELD: White (1,337 yards rushing) and fellow RB Melvin Gordon (1,466 yards) had big years and helped make the Badgers just one of five teams in the FBS with a pair of 1,000-yard rushers.

■ BALANCED ATTACK: Wisconsin put up gaudy numbers on both sides of the ball in 2013 and joined Florida State as the only teams averaging more than 475 yards on offense and holding opponents to less than 300 yards per game on defense.

■ FLORIDA BOWL SUCCESS. Wisconsin is 3-1 record in Orlando bowl games, while South Carolina’s most recent bowl wins — the 2012 Capital One and 2013 Outback Bowl — were both played in the Sunshine State.

CAP ONE CONTINUED FROM 10A

The Gamecocks enter their first-ever matchup with Wisconsin having won twostraight bowl games over Big Ten foes, defeating Nebraska in 2012 and Michigan in 2013.

They reeled off four straight wins following an early loss to Georgia, but were then upset

by Tennessee before ending the season on a five-game win streak.

A lot of eyes will be on South Carolina junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who is projected to be a top selection in this spring’s NFL draft should he decide to enter his name. He leads a Gamecocks defense that ranked fourth in the SEC and tied for 14th in the country, allowing 20 points per game.

REBELS CONTINUED FROM 10A

our first two years. With what we inherited, I think says we’re heading in the right direction for sure. It is a very positive step.”

Georgia Tech (7-6) has lost eight of nine bowls.

The Yellow Jackets scored 10 points in the fourth quarter as they tried to rally before a safety with 4:22 left ended their last chance.

“We didn’t play well enough in any facet to win the game,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said.

“We were fortunate that we had a chance at the end to come back and win.”

Yellow Jackets lineman Adam Gotsis, who also blocked an extra point, knocked down a 32-yard field goal attempt by Andrew Ritter giving Georgia Tech the ball at their own 20 with 4:36 left trailing 23-17.

But Georgia Tech lost 5 yards on the first play,

then Vad Lee flipped the ball to Corey Dennis on a reverse with the receiver apparently looking to throw when he fumbled under pressure. Right tackle Ray Beno covered up the ball in the end zone for the safety. Freeze said he thought it might have been a touchdown but was glad to get some points. Johnson wishes his player had just tried to run for what he could get.

“It’s disappointing,” Johnson said.

Ole Miss finally punted back to Georgia Tech with 37 seconds left. Senquez Golson intercepted Lee on the next play to seal the victory for the Rebels in the bowl, sponsored by Franklin American Mortgage Company.

With a month to prepare, Ole Miss shut down the nation’s fourth-best rushing offense. Georgia Tech came in averaging 311.7 yards per game, and the Rebels smothered the

Yellow Jackets, holding them to just 151 yards on the ground. Ole Miss held the ball for nearly 33 minutes and had a 477-298 edge in total offense.

“That’s why it’s so difficult to play them probably in a short amount of time,” Freeze said.

“You’re going to be forced

to play some of your base stuff. We were able to get some different stuff in.”

Ole Miss had a 23-7 lead when the Yellow Jackets scored 10 straight points.

Harrison Butker capped a 64-yard drive with a 38yard field goal in the opening seconds of the fourth

Garden gnomes have a totally unexpected bonus benefit. They are said to appreciate language skills, so brush up your high school foreign language skills by referring to your gnome in another language. In Norway they are called Nisse, the one who protects farm animals. They are called dude in Albania, which sounds more like a California greeting, but if the gnomes like it, who cares?

So this winter as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck inside dreaming of warm days in the garden, shop for a garden gnome to join the family. Yard art is a fun way to express your garden personality and a great way to do that is with a gnome or two in the garden.

A friendly garden gnome brings year-round interest to your landscape, and if their lore is true, a dose of good luck and a little garden help, too.

Climate of change ahead for gardening Designing a playroom The Associated Press

While many gardeners scan the newly arrived seed catalogs to plan their next growing season, the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visionaries are pouring talent and resources into products and ideas they hope will be sown in years to come.

Evolutionary biology is just one aspect of flora development; plant resiliency, landscape design and education also are part of the creative mix.

So what are the prospects for gardening in the year 2020 and beyond?

Some responses from the long-term thinkers:

Houseplants Jose Smith, chief executive officer, Costa

Farms, Miami: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying hard to bring more color to houseplants. Green is not a color. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also trying to create plants so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more of a lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a living home decor.â&#x20AC;?

Dealing with the invasion of exotic pests. Building resistance to climate change. That impacts what we plant and where we plant trees.â&#x20AC;?

Trees

Anthony Tesselaar, president and co-founder, Anthony Tesselaar Plants, Silvan, Australia: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gardening industry has been looking at plant size and multi-use aspects with increasing urbanization, and also such factors as increased disease resistance to reduce the needs for pesticides and other chemicals in a closed urban environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dwarf and clump plants are being developed for smaller-space gardening. There is also work on establishing more fastigiated (slender) trees and shrubs.â&#x20AC;?

Greg Ina, vice president, The Davey Institute, Kent, Ohio: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working to quantify the benefits of trees. People are beginning to go beyond the anecdotal understanding that trees are good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; beyond beautification to natural functions like pollution and wellness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another big scientific topic is resiliency. Improving early detection.

Flowers

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool, kid-friendly

Vegetables and herbs George Ball, chairman and chief executive officer, W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Warminster, Pa.: â&#x20AC;&#x153;All roads lead to the garden. Almost everybody is into gardening and vegetable gardening is the focus. Flowers are almost on the sidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gardening feeds spinoff hobbies like cooking.

People who grow things tend to become amateur cooks. If you cook at home, look at how much money you save. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than just an accent, herbs will soon occupy a more prominent role in American homecooked cuisine, with far more flavorful leaves that will change recipes and food for the table. We see this happening at toptier restaurants in major cities.

Outfitting a play space for children might consist of nothing more than setting up a few old furniture pieces, plastic storage bins and the extra TV. But some parents want the play space to reflect their design aesthetic.

Does the rest of the home read more Eero Saarinen than Superman? More Verner Panton than Pokemon? Is the vibe less Nickelodeon, more George Nelson? If so, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to try balancing kid-friendly with cool.

Some options:

Mod mad Lots of decor from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s works well in a play space: mod lamps, modular furniture, pop art, and fun, spaceage prints for wallpaper and textiles. Hues popular back then â&#x20AC;&#x201D; orange, yellow, teal, green, white â&#x20AC;&#x201D; add energy to furniture, cushions and rugs.
