Robbery suspect sought Wreck suspect took the money and escaped on foot.

“He entered the store dressed in all black with a ski mask, black coat with hood and black pants,” said Green.

Police are looking for a heavy-set male Caucasian around 5-feet, 6-inches tall.

The suspect fits the description of a male who robbed Subway in Walnut around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 27.

“It appears to be the same guy,” said Green. “He was wearing the same exact clothes as the robbery in both cases.”

Basket fund needs more donations The spirit of giving this Christmas season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area.

Donations are still needed this year for the 19th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund.

A $25,000 fundraising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 6.

Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached.

So far, $16,014 has been raised, meaning $8,986 still needs to be raised to make the goal. Donations will be accepted through the end of the year.

Contributions to the Christmas Basket Fund can be made “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published in the Daily Corinthian.

Donations can be brought by the newspaper office 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or mailed to: Daily Corinthian, Attn.: Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

Please note the newspaper office is closed today for the New Year’s holiday.

A pair of area law enforcement agencies are looking for the same man after he robbed establishments over a threeday span.

The subject’s latest heist took place around 3:50 p.m.

Tuesday at a Corinth business.

“The suspect entered the business, brandishing a gun and demanded money,” said detective Dell Green regarding the Cigarette Mart robbery on U.S. Highway 72 West.

According to Green, the

In the Walnut case, a man carrying a gun allegedly entered Subway and demanded employees open the cash register and hand over the money.

“When the suspect entered the business, there were no customers and only two employees present,” said Walnut Police Chief Tim James.

The Walnut Police Department and the Tippah County Sheriff’s Department both responded to the weekend call.

Only one employee was working during the Corinth robbery with no customers inside.

Subway knows how to make it fresh.

The restaurant also knows a thing or two about Christmas decorations.

The U.S. Highway 72 East establishment became the initial winner of the Christmas Spirit Program (CSP) by garnering 147 votes.

Lil’s Chicago Italian Beef finished second in the contest with 103 votes.

“We put our heart and soul into it,” said Subway manager Stephanie Trull. “The employees did a good job of getting people to vote.”

Aylah Chelmowski’s idea to promote more Christmas spirit drew 28 restaurants to the first-year contest. The winning restaurant was graded on friendliness, service Please see SPIRIT | 2

New Year’s Eve turned somber following a two vehicle wreck in southern Alcorn County Wednesday night.

The wreck occurred around 5:15 p.m. at U.S. Highway 45 and MS 356, known as the “Rienzi crossing.”

Two Air Evac units were called to the scene. North and south bound lanes of Highway 45 were blocked for more than 40 minutes following the wreck.

A 31-year-old woman was transported by air ambulance to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, while another victim was transported by air ambulance to Magnolia Regional Medical Center in Corinth.

Further information was unavailable at press time.

Rose Parade features local ‘super hero’

BY ZACK STEEN

kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Dancing their way to victory, the Alcorn Central High School Dance Team claimed top honors at the Mississippi High School Athletic Association State Dance Competition.

Held in Jackson at the Coliseum on Friday, Dec. 12, the team competed against 14 other teams for the 1A-6A HipHop State Championship title.

Judged on their execution of hip-hop movement, skill, strength and control as well as the synchronization/uniformity of timing and rhythm, spacing and communication and projection of connecting and engaging the audience, the team received high marks throughout their performance.

The routine itself was judged on the choreography of creative hip-hop movements, level changes and group work.

The originality of music, staging, seamless transitions from one formation to another, difficulty of movement and skills such as tricks, floor work and lifts were also evaluated.

In addition, the group had to achieve an overall impression combining crowd appeal and involvement, music, choreography and costume.

According to the team’s coach, the ACHS Dance Team

as the official head coach.”

Now in her second year as coach and choreographer, Whitaker takes pride in the accomplishments of her dancers.

Local “super hero” Andrew Loyd will be honored today at the 126th Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calf.

The 11-year-old youngster, who was shot to death by his mentally ill father inside their Farmington apartment in 2012, was selected in 2014 as a floragraph honoree by the Donate Life organization because of his organ donations made shortly after his death.

A portrait of Andrew, created with floral materials, will appear on the Donate Life float, which is scheduled to appear in the second hour of the parade today. Andrew’s portrait will appear alon side 71 other floragraphs of special donors from across the country.

The parade will be televised live from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. on numerous networks, including WMC-NBC (Comcast: 5, Adelphia: 5, Dish: 7167, DirecTV: 5). The parade will be shown commercial free on The Hallmark Channel (Comcast: 70, Adelphia: 39, Dish: 185, DirecTV: 312).

The ACHS Dance Team gathers for state competition.

DANCE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“Our first win of the Hip-Hop state title began with the team in 2010.

We won consecutively for three years in a row. Last year, we came in runnerup, which was still an honor, but not something we were going to settle for,� she said. “I’ve always tried to instill in my girls the importance of pushing themselves to their limits and never giving up. They are always better and can do more than what they think. Sometimes it just takes a little pushing and motivation

to bring it out of them.�

Hearts pumping with excitement and adrenaline, the team waited anxiously to learn their score. “As soon as the announcer called out Alcorn Central for first place, the weight that had been sitting on all our shoulders was finally lifted and all the 3 to 9 p.m. practices were worth it,� said CoCaptain Katie Smith. “Being on this dance team has been a blessing for me. I’m so proud to say I danced with my friends and made memories I will never forget. I’m even more proud to say

that I’m an Alcorn Central dancer.�

Inspired by the team’s self-discipline and commitment to their afternoon practices, Whitaker said it was unbelievable to see the depth of dedication shown by each dancer at such a young age. “They are amazing and such good athletes who put 200 percent into each and every practice and performance. I feel honored, privileged and blessed to have the opportunity to be their coach,� she said. “I’m so excited to have been able to share the love and pas-

sion I have for dance with them and hope they learn something from each season.�

An emotional experience, team Captain Lindsey Miller described the feelings she felt during the competition. “It was the happiest and saddest I’ve ever felt,� she said. “This team has been such a big part of my life for the past four years, it breaks my heart to realize it’s all over.�

Her co-captain, Alissa Ann Williams, echoed the sentiment. “All I could do was cry because I have never been

more proud of myself or my teammates than in that moment,� said the ACHS senior. “Knowing this competition was my last, everything was intensified. All the nerves, the desire to win, and the will to give it everything I had and leave nothing behind were more present than ever before. I know without a doubt that this competition was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had.�

Reflecting on a season full of triumphs and challenges, Coach Whitaker feels blessed and privileged to have been a part

of all four wins and to have worked with the students she calls her “baby girls.� “From all of the sweat, blood, tears, pulled muscles and bruises, to our motivational talks and team circles of held hands and prayers, we had one goal and it was to bring home what was ours: the state title for best HipHop dance team in Mississippi, which previously belonged to our school for three years ... and that’s exactly what we did. We brought it back home and collected our fourth state title,� she said.

and decor.

Chelmowski collected $746 to be evenly divided between the Oasis Medical Center and Jardin de Eden (Garden of Eden) Orphanage in Ecuador. “I think it is absolutely wonderful that a young person would have it in their heart to touch lives in such a wonderful way,� said Martha Jobe, director of Oasis Medical Center, of the $373 check presented to the center on Tuesday.

Jobe said the money will be “plugged directly into the medical services� offered to women at the center.

Participating restaurants paid a $25 entry fee to see who had the most spirit in the contest. The winner was presented a plaque and cash prize. “It was a lot of time and hard work, but now that it is done, it was all worth it,� said Chelmowski.

The 13-year-old has plans to incorporate a team to help with the contest next year. “I hope it gets bigger and bigger every year,� she said.

Americans support menu labeling

BY MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Jan. 1, the first day of 2015.

There are 364 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 1, 1975, a jury in Washington found Nixon administration officials John N. Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman, John D. Ehrlichman and Robert C. Mardian guilty of charges related to the Watergate cover-up; a fifth defendant, Kenneth Parkinson, was acquitted, and Mardian’s conviction for conspiracy was later overturned on appeal.

On this date: In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that slaves in rebel states shall be “forever free.”

In 1935, The Associated Press inaugurated Wirephoto, the first successful service for transmitting photographs by wire to member newspapers.

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

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

In 1979, the United States and China held celebrations in Washington and Beijing to mark the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

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 1985, the music cable channel VH-1 made its debut with a video of Marvin Gaye performing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

In 1995, the World Trade Organization (WTO) came into being, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Sweden, Finland and Austria joined the European Union. Fernando Henrique Cardoso took office as Brazil’s president.

Five years ago: A suicide bomber detonated a truckload of explosives on a volleyball field in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 97 people.

One year ago: The nation’s first legal recreational pot shops opened in Colorado at 8 a.m. Mountain Standard Time.

WASHINGTON — More than half of Americans say they already have enough information at restaurants to decide whether they are making a healthy purchase. But they want even more.

According to an Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in December, most Americans favor labeling calories on menus in fast food and sit-down restaurants. Most favor labels for prepared foods in the grocery store, too.

The poll was conducted a little more than a week after the Food and Drug Administration announced new rules that will require restaurants and other establishments that sell prepared foods and have 20 or more locations to post the calorie content of food “clearly and conspicuously” on their menus, menu boards and displays. Companies will have until November 2015 to comply.

Majority supports labeling A majority of Americans — 56

percent — favor requiring fast food restaurants to post calorie amounts on menus, while 54 percent favor the calorie postings at sit-down restaurants and 52 percent favor the labels at prepared food counters at grocery stores.

Slightly fewer approved of requiring the calorie postings in other dining locations. Fortynine percent of Americans supported posting calories on coffee shop menus and 44 percent approved of the postings on vending machines and at movie theaters. Forty-three percent favored calorie postings in amusement parks. All of those establishments will be required to post calorie amounts under the new FDA rules.

Only about 1 in 10 Americans oppose labeling requirements at each of these places. The remainder said they neither favor nor oppose each requirement.

Women, Democrats most supportive Women are more likely than men to say they favor labeling

requirements at restaurants and prepared-food counters, though a majority of men support the labeling at fast food restaurants and around half support it at sit-down restaurants. Collegeeducated respondents are more likely than those without a college education to favor labeling requirements at all of the establishments.

The support appears to be relatively bipartisan. Democrats are significantly more likely to support the calorie postings than independents or Republicans, but a slim majority of Republicans still support calorie postings at restaurants.

People care about calories, sugars fats The idea behind the rules is that people may pass on that bacon double cheeseburger if they know it has hundreds of calories — and, in turn, restaurants may make their foods healthier to keep calorie counts down.

The menus and menu boards will tell diners that a 2,000-calorie diet is used as the basis for

daily nutrition, noting that individual calorie needs may vary.

Additional nutritional information beyond calories, including sodium, fats, sugar and other items, must be available upon request.

When they’re judging whether a food item is a healthy choice or not, 55 percent of Americans say how many calories it contains is very or extremely important to them. Same with sodium levels.

Sugar and fat were slightly more important to health-conscious diners — 61 percent said sugar was very or extremely important when deciding on healthy purchases and 59 percent said the same about the amount of fat.

Only 36 percent of Americans said they feel the level of vitamins and minerals is extremely or very important when making healthy purchases, and even fewer — 23 percent, less than a quarter — said the same about whether an item is organic.

10 People To Watch In 2015 Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In the year that will pass before the 2016 campaign for president formally kicks off with the votes in the Iowa Caucus, any number of candidates, donors, political operatives — and people who have nothing to do with American politics — will shape the race for the White House. Here’s a look at 10 people (OK, 12 people) who will be worth watching in the next year.

1. Elizabeth Warren, Potential rival The populist senator from Massachusetts is, at the dawn of 2015, the only person who appears able to mount a competitive challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination. The architect of President Barack Obama’s consumer financial protection agency, Warren would be able to quickly raise millions from an already enthusiastic following.

She has repeatedly insisted she “is not running for president,” but her consistent use of the present tense has left some liberals begging her to get into the race.

2. Steve Robertson, Backroom ally The bespectacled chairman of the Republican Party of Kentucky will have a busy 2015 — thanks in no small measure to the political aspirations of the state’s junior senator, Rand Paul. As Robertson works to elect a Republican governor for only the second time in 44 years, he will have to figure out whether to help Paul run for president and re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2016 — something nominally barred by Kentucky law. Options include moving up the state’s primary or changing the party’s rules, but no matter what path Paul’s team takes, Robertson will be the man selling it to the public.

3. Paul Fishman, Prosecutor As U.S. attorney for New Jer-

Stop the Harassment & Keep your Property

sey, Paul Fishman is leading the federal criminal investigation into a scheme to create traffic jams on a bridge that links New Jersey with Manhattan — a political scandal that still hangs over the political ambitions of Gov. Chris Christie. There is no evidence linking Christie directly to the effort to tie up traffic on the bridge, but even if he is formally cleared by Fishman, the federal prosecutor could announce a string of indictments against the governor’s former staffers, aides and appointees just as he’s announcing his candidacy for president.

4. John Podesta, Steady influence A senior adviser to President Barack Obama, Podesta is a trusted Democratic counselor and environmental policymaker who served as Bill Clinton’s White House chief of staff. Podesta has said he doesn’t intend to leave the White House until Obama’s mid-January State of the Union address and could serve as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman. If he joins the campaign, Podesta would provide stability to an organization that was plagued by infighting in 2007 and 2008 and could help Clinton navigate the party’s liberal wing and the final term of Obama’s administration.

5. Ron Paul and Rafael Cruz, Proud fathers Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are no strangers to stirring up trouble in the Senate, but both are tame compared to their fathers. Rafael Cruz, a Dallas-area pastor, says God prefers conservative candidates and that Obama is a “Marxist” who should be sent “back to Kenya.” Ron Paul, a physician and former congressman from Texas, opposed almost every facet of government as overreach during his time in office and two Quixotic campaigns for president, winning the nickname “Dr. No.” Both fathers are sure to become focal points of scrutiny should their sons enter the race for president.

6. Sheldon Adelson, Republican megadonor One of the Republican Party’s most powerful donors, the casino magnate has the money to single-handedly bankroll a candidate’s presidential prospects — which he did in 2012 for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Several White House prospects have already traveled to Las Vegas to court Adelson, the chairman and CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. and one of the world’s richest individuals.

His advisors suggest Adelson is in no hurry to pick his 2016 favorite, but look for foreign policy — and Israel in particular — to weigh heavily on his ultimate decision. Adelson is a staunch supporter of the Jewish state.

7. Raul Castro, Communist dictator Obama’s recent decision to restore America’s diplomatic relations with Cuba thrust the issue — and the island nation’s communist leader, Raul Castro — into the 2016 contest. The move was vigorously condemned by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American eyeing a White House bid who slammed Obama for a deal that “conceded everything and gained little.” Should Castro fail to take steps in the next year toward democracy and improving human rights, he would vindicate Rubio’s criticisms and highlight his developing rift over foreign policy with Paul, one of the few Republicans to say Obama’s move on Cuba was the right one.

8. Bill Clinton, Would-be first gentleman The former president is sure to emerge as the ultimate surrogate if his wife seeks the White House a second time. He was among the most popular campaigners for Democratic candidates during the 2014 elections, and his speech at the 2012 Democratic National Convention helped sell Obama’s economic agenda and first-term record. The ex-president has moved past the 2008

campaign, when he testily noted after Obama’s South Carolina primary win over his wife that Jesse Jackson had also won the state twice. Yet he remains a wild card..

9. Columba Bush, Would-be first lady Perhaps no one has more influence on former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s presidential aspirations than his wife of 40 years, Columba Bush. Long uncomfortable with media attention, a Bush presidential bid would thrust her into the national spotlight whether she likes it or not. It would also shine a light on their three children, one of whom has struggled with substance abuse. And as the debate over immigration rages inside the party, Columba Bush’s background — she is a native of Mexico — could play prominently in her husband’s presidential campaign.

10. Joni Ernst and Terry Branstad, Iowa connections Terry Branstad has won election as Iowa governor six times, more than any other state chief executive in U.S. history. Joni Ernst was the breakout star of the 2014 midterm elections, a little-known state lawmaker who parlayed rural roots and a military background — along with a punchy television ad about castrating hogs — into a win for U.S. senate. The pair will be sought after by every Republican seeking to kick off their campaign for president with a win in the firstto-vote Iowa Caucus. After two rounds of caucuses in which GOP voters backed a candidate who ultimately failed to win the nomination, Branstad orchestrated a takeover of the Iowa GOP in 2014, attempting to broaden the base and nudge disciples of former Texas Rep. Ron Paul out of party leadership. Ernst says she’ll say neutral in 2016, but voters are sure to look for any signals from their new senator as to how she’ll caucus on the cold Iowa night that officially starts the race to Election Day.

Corinth, Miss.

Are facts obsolete?

Some of us, who are old enough to remember the old television police series “Dragnet,” may remember Sgt. Joe Friday saying, “Just the facts, ma’am.” But that would be completely out of place today.

Thomas Facts are becoming obsolete, Sowell as recent events have demonstrated.

Columnist What matters today is how well you can concoct a story that fits people’s preconceptions and arouses their emotions. Politicians like New York mayor Bill de Blasio, professional demagogues like Al Sharpton and innumerable irresponsible people in the media have shown that they have great talent in promoting a lynch mob atmosphere toward the police.

Grand juries that examine hard facts live in a different world from mobs who listen to rhetoric and politicians who cater to the mobs.

During the controversy over the death of Trayvon Martin, for example, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus said that George Zimmerman had tracked Trayvon Martin down and shot him like a dog. The fact is that Zimmerman did not have to track down Trayvon Martin, who was sitting on top of him, punching him till his face was bloody.

After the death of Michael Brown, members of the Congressional Black Caucus stood up in Congress, with their hands held up, saying “don’t shoot.” Although there were some who claimed that this is what Michael Brown said and did, there were other witnesses – all black, by the way – who said that Brown was charging the policeman when he was shot.

What was decisive was not what either set of witnesses said, but what the autopsy revealed, an autopsy involving three sets of forensic experts, including one representing Michael Brown’s family. Witnesses can lie but the physical facts don’t.

The death of Eric Garner has likewise spawned stories having little relationship to facts. The story is that Garner died because a chokehold stopped his breathing. But Garner did not die with a policeman choking him.

He died later, in an ambulance where his heart stopped. No doubt the stress of his capture did not do him any good, and he might well still be alive if he had not resisted arrest.

But that was his choice.

Despite people who say blithely that the police need more “training,” there is no “kinder and gentler” way to capture a 350-pound man, who is capable of inflicting grievous harm, and perhaps even death, on any of his would-be captors. The magic word “unarmed” means nothing in practice, however much the word may hype emotions.

If you are killed by an unarmed man, you are just as dead as if you had been annihilated by a nuclear bomb. But you don’t even know who is armed or unarmed until after it is all over, and you can search him.

Incidentally, did you know that, during this same period when riots, looting and arson have been raging, a black policeman in Alabama shot and killed an unarmed white teenager – and was cleared by a grand jury?

Probably not, if you depend on the mainstream media for your news.

The media do not merely ignore facts, they suppress facts. Millions of people saw the videotape of the beating of Rodney King. But they saw only a fraction of that tape because the media left out the rest, which showed Rodney King – another huge man – resisting arrest and refusing to be handcuffed, so that he could be searched.

Television viewers did not get to see the other black men in the same vehicle that Rodney King was driving recklessly. Those other black men were not beaten. And the grand jury got to see the whole video, after which they acquitted the police – and the media then published the jurors’ home addresses.

Such media retribution against people they don’t like is part of a growing lynch mob mentality. The black witnesses in Missouri, whose testimony confirmed what the police officer said, expressed fears for their own safety for telling what the physical evidence showed was the truth.

Is this what we want? Grand juries responding to mobs and the media, instead of to the facts?

(Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.)

Prayer for today 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.

A verse to share “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.” 1 John 2:22

Books you might not have heard about Blockbuster books like “Wild” and “Gone Girl” get so much attention that we forget other authors are out there busting their blocks trying to sell a few stories written without murders and mayhem.

I received a couple of quietly wonderful books as gifts, and I have to share the news in case The Times neglects to review them. They deserve attention, too.

Ann Ballard of Itawamba County, has written a slim volume called “My Garden, My Homeplace.” I predict other passionate gardeners who discover it will put it on their shelves next to that classic “Mrs. Whaley and Her Charleston Garden.”

Ann has taken her greatgrandfather’s 1883 home, painted it carnation pink, added a greenhouse and conservatory, and basically made the old place an Eden of sweat equity. You don’t have to be a great gardener to enjoy her matter-of-fact description of what she’s planted, what survived and how a blend of books, a

good front porch and hard work can be the recipe for happiness.

I don’t Rheta know the Johnson author – the book was Columnist sent to me by a generous librarian – but I appreciate the lifestyle Ann Ballard describes. The fine art of porch-sitting isn’t entirely lost, and she proves it.

Two of my former Auburn University journalism professor friends have published the third edition of “A Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village,” an amazing collection of photographs that tell the story of my alma mater. Love’s labor is impressive.

You can rely on the accuracy of the photo cutlines, too, considering that Jack Simms and Mickey Logue are the authors. As the Auburn professors used to insist, the three most important things for a journalist

to remember are “accuracy, accuracy and – accuracy.”

The book is essential for Auburn people, but others interested in astronauts, football, musicians and other celebrities would enjoy seeing what has happened at this sometimes underrated “cow college.”

I was touched deeply by a book intended for juvenile readers. Faye Gibbons’ “Halley,” a Depression-era story set in the poverty and gloom of the North Georgia mountains.

Though the book is fiction, you sense Ms. Gibbons knows of what she writes.

A young girl yearns for more than the End Times, which is the only thing besides money that interests her rigid and self-righteous grandfather who is raising her.

I like a story with clear villains and heroes, and this one has both. I think it’s a book for readers of any age – and of the ages. Certainly cruel piety is not in short supply in 2014. Again, I’ve never met the author but

would love to.

I do know John M. Williams, probably one of the most gifted writers I’ve ever been privileged to read. An English professor at Lagrange College in Georgia, Johnny manages to write and write and write some more in his spare time, which is limited. You can get a taste at LikeTheDew. com.

His short essays are in the tradition, I think, of E.B. White, and he makes the everyday beautiful and the local universal. His short stories are equally impressive, and I hope a publisher somewhere in 2015 will “discover” the work of a man with something to say who can’t help but write.

Samuel Johnson said only a blockhead writes for anything but money. Johnny Williams is the biggest blockhead I know.

Hollywood plays with fire In July of 1870, King Wilhelm sent Foreign Minister Bismarck an account of his meeting with a French envoy who had demanded that the king renounce any Hohenzollern claim to the Spanish throne.

Bismarck edited the report to make it appear the Frenchman had insulted the king, and that Wilhelm rudely dismissed him. The Ems Telegram precipitated the Franco-Prussian war Bismarck wanted.

Words matter. And if a picture is worth a thousand words, how much greater impact can a motion picture have? We are finding out.

Egypt has banned “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” the $140 million 20th Century Fox biblical epic. Cairo’s culture minister Gaber Asfour condemns it as “a Zionist film” containing “historical inaccuracies.”

The depiction of enslaved Jews building the pyramids and Moses parting the Red Sea to enable the Jews to flee and drown the Egyptian army is false, says Asfour.

Historians date the pyramids to around 2540 B.C., 500 years before Abraham, the father of Judaism.

Paramount’s “Noah” was banned in Egypt, Indonesia and Malaysia, for taking liberties with the Quran.

are portrayed as colluding with Islamists trying to kill ex-CIA director Saul BePat renson and Buchanan station chief Carrie MathiColumnist son. In the season’s final episodes, the U.S. cuts ties to Pakistan and closes the embassy.

The Showtime series “maligns a country that has been a close partner and ally of the U.S.,” a Pakistani embassy spokesman told the New York Post, and “is a disservice not only to the security interests of the U.S., but also to the people of the U.S.” The 2014 “Homeland” finale was aired just after 140 Pakistani school kids were massacred in Peshawar by the Taliban.

Angrier than Egypt or Pakistan is North Korea over Sony’s “The Interview.” Why would a film company owned by the Japanese, who are not beloved in Korea, think it would be a great fun to make a comedy out of a CIA plot to assassinate North Korea’s head of state?

The North Koreans are serious people. They massacred half of the South Korean cabinet in the Rangoon bombing. They have brought down airliners

and sunk warships without warning. They have plotted to assassinate South Korea’s president.

Their megalomaniac ruler, Kim Jong-Un, just had his uncle-mentor executed, along with his family. Kim has atom bombs and seeks to miniaturize them to put atop missiles able to reach the United States.

He is the most erratic and dangerous ruler on the planet and this assassination-comedy is just the thing to set him off.

Says Adam Cathcart, a North Korea expert at Leeds University, “In North Korea it’s more or less a fait accompli that the Americans are trying to kill our leader.”

To sustain its Stalinist dynasty, says the Washington Post, Pyongyang has created a “personality cult that is anything but a laughing matter.”

In retaliation for “The Interview,” North Korea, says the FBI, hacked into Sony’s computers, published confidential emails and threatened retaliation against any who showed the film.

The North has repeatedly denied it hacked into Sony.

But it now appears the U.S. has retaliated by disrupting Internet service in North Korea, much to the cheers of the War Party, which wants President Obama to put the Hermit Kingdom back on the list of state sponsors of terror.

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

North Korea is now using racial slurs to describe Obama.

There is an aspect of reckless immaturity here.

While the Wall Street Journal thinks it would be fun to send DVDs of “The Interview” by balloon into the North, the Washington Post says possession of the film there would be regarded as treasonous, and could bring a death sentence.

No one denies Sony the right to produce a comedy about blowing up Kim Jong Un. Nor was anyone denying theaters or Internet sites the right to show it.

What Sony seemed to want was to produce a movie that made the assassination of a dictator appear hilarious, but to be exempt from any consequences.

But we live in a world today where if you produce cartoons of the Prophet with a bomb for a turban, or disparage Islam in videos, books or movies, you can get yourself and others killed.

To enrich itself, Hollywood is playing games with religious beliefs and historical truths – and making enemies, not all of whom believe in turning the other cheek.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Missing toddler’s body found in creek COLUMBUS, Ohio — The body of a missing 14-month-old Maryland boy was found in an Ohio creek Wednesday after his mother allegedly lied to police that she had left him on a stranger’s porch.

Searchers found the body of Cameron Beckford in Big Walnut Creek on Wednesday morning, said Sgt. Rich Weiner, a Columbus police spokesman.

Dainesha Stevens has not been charged in the boy’s death but on Wednesday she was ordered held on $150,000 bond on related charges of endangering children and tampering with evidence.

Her attorney, Mark Collins, said she made up the story about having left the boy on a doorstep and that she tipped police to the creek where his body was found.

Police began to investigate after Stevens, 24, called 911 on Monday to say a family wouldn’t return her 6-year-old daughter after she had agreed to let her go to their house to play with the kids.

After police found the girl safe, Stevens told police she and the friend with whom she was staying had left her son on a doorstop “because they could not care for him any longer,” according to Columbus police.

It’s unclear when the boy died. Stevens was arrested Tuesday because she failed to protect her son “by allowing an individual to violently spank him numerous times on several occasions,” according to a police charging document filed Wednesday.

The discipline removed several layers of skin and caused the boy’s buttocks to bleed, the document said.

Professor among 4 fired in UNC fraud RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina’s flagship public university is trying to fire a senior professor, accepted the resignation of another faculty member and dismissed an academic counselor for athletes their roles in the fraud scandal that rocked the school, campus officials said Wednesday.

Steps to terminate University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill philosophy professor and former faculty leader Jeanette Boxill started on Oct. 22, the same day that a scathing report into the cheating scandal was released, campus Chancellor Carol Folt said in a statement.

Boxill is appealing Folt’s decision, information that was released after a lawsuit by The Associated Press and nine other media organizations.

North Carolina’s public records law requires state agencies, including public universities, to make employee records available. That includes records regarding their dismissal, suspension, or demotion. UNC-Chapel Hill officials had said the disclosure wasn’t required until after an employee has finished appealing the decision, a process that could take years.

The report by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein found a pattern

Check out the

of fake classes, which allowed 3,100 athletes and other students to earn artificially high grades from 1993 to 2011. While the sham courses were solely in the African studies department, multiple people around campus knew of them or suspected something but said nothing, the report said.

Folt said she was naming Boxill “in light of the extraordinary circumstances underlying the longstanding and intolerable academic irregularities described in the Wainstein Report, as well as her role as chair of the faculty council during a period of time covered by the report.”

Campus lawyer David Parker also disclosed that Timothy McMillan resigned after 17 years at the school. He was a senior lecturer in the Department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies, the renamed department where a retired administrator orchestrated and a retired chairman allowed the pattern of no-show classes and generous grades.

Pending home sales climb slightly WASHINGTON — The number of Americans signing contracts to buy homes rose modestly in November as a strengthening economy helped nudge some would-be homebuyers.

The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index climbed 0.8 percent the past month to 104.8 from a revised 104 in October. The index remains slightly below its 2013 average but is 4.1 percent higher than last November.

Pending sales are a barometer of future purchases. A one- to two-month lag usually exists between a contract and a completed sale.

The number of contract signings increased in the Northeast, South and West last month, while declining in the Midwest.

“Home sales activity will likely continue to be uninspiring in the months ahead,” Laura Rosner, an economist at BNP Paribas, said in a research note to clients.

Housing has struggled to fully rebound since the recession ended more than five years ago. Many potential buyers lack the savings and strong credit history needed to afford a home, causing them to rent or remain in their existing houses instead of upgrading. Higher home prices and relatively stagnant incomes have also curtailed buying.

Separate NAR data last week showed that sales of existing homes fell 6.1 percent in November to the slowest pace in six months, The Commerce Department said last week that new home sales slid 1.6 percent in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 438,000.

That remains significantly below the annual rate of 700,000 seen during the 1990s.

Republicans await Scalise flap to ease WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders have been supportive of Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise since the revela-

tion that he appeared before a white supremacist organization 12 years ago, suggesting they think the flare-up will fade, while some Democrats have been critical without calling for him to resign.

Scalise, the Republican whip in the House, said Tuesday that he regrets making the speech in 2002 and condemns the views of such groups. He said that as a state legislator he spoke to many groups at that time about a major tax issue.

“One of the many groups that I spoke to regarding this critical legislation was a group whose views I wholeheartedly condemn,” the Louisiana congressman said in a statement. “It was a mistake I regret, and I emphatically oppose the divisive racial and religious views groups like these hold.”

Republican leaders defended Scalise within minutes of his statement. The new Congress, in which the GOP will control both the House and the Senate, convenes next week.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said Scalise “made an error in judgment, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate.” Boehner said Scalise “has my full confidence as our whip.”

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California said Scalise “acknowledged he made a mistake and has condemned the views that organization espouses.

I’ve known him as a friend for many years and I know that he does not share the beliefs of that organization.”

Scalise won a key endorsement Monday from Rep. Cedric Richmond, who will be Louisiana’s only Democrat and only black in Congress when the new Congress convenes. Richmond told NOLA.com: “I don’t think Steve Scalise has a racist bone in his body.”

He said he has worked closely with Scalise and “I am not going to let them use Steve as a scapegoat to score political points when I know him and know his family.”

Louisiana’s Republican governor, Bobby Jindal, also defended the congressman.

Lowndes may drop retirees’ insurance COLUMBUS — Lowndes County supervisors are taking a second look at a decision to end health insurance for retirees on Dec. 31, 2015.

The action was taken in December amid projections of $150,000 in annual savings. County Administrator Ralph Billingsley says 10 former employees would be affected.

Lowndes County pays about $1.8 million in employee health insurance premiums annually.

Board members say one option could be to grandfather in coverage for existing retirees — at least until they reach age 65 and qualify for Medicare.

Man sentenced in death of his wife JACKSON — A man sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of murder in the 2011 death of his wife has appealed his conviction to the state Court of Appeals.

The Appeals Court has scheduled oral arguments in the case for Jan. 22 in Jackson.

Court records show a Jasper County jury convicted Shannon L. Rayner in 2013 in the death Sonya Hunt Rayner at his family’s home in Bay Springs.

Prosecutors say Sonya Rayner died of blunt force trauma and the house set on fire. Shannon Rayner escaped from the fire but his

wife did not. Her body was found in the house, which also was used as a deer camp.

Watchdog seeks to sanction judge JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court will consider sanctions proposed against a north Mississippi judge.

The Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance filed a complaint in September against Chancellor Talmadge Littlejohn of New Albany.

The commission alleges Littlejohn ordered someone jailed for nonpayment of child support when the case had been appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court.

The man was arrested and held for three days in the Lee County jail before he was released.

The commission says the filing of an appeal bond took the case out of Littlejohn’s court.

The commission is recommending a public

reprimand and a $500 fine of Littlejohn.

Casino countdown under way D’IBERVILLE — The builder says construction of the $290 million Scarlet Pearl Casino resort in D’Iberville is on schedule.

Mayor Rusty Quave said that after 22 years of trying to get a casino and its accompanying revenue boost for the city, “I’m not going to be satisfied until they cut the ribbon and we walk in.”

That’s scheduled for December 2015.

The 167,000-squarefoot casino will be the centerpiece, but the resort is designed with a variety of other amenities to draw customers — a 300-room hotel in a 15-story tower to capitalize on the views, a 500-seat event center, buffet and gourmet restaurants, a coffee shop/café and a central bar.

Highway crash spills, kills 11,000 fish EUGENE, Ore. — A tanker truck moving young salmon from a failing hatchery crashed and spilled thousands of fish on the side of a highway in western Oregon.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates 11,000 juvenile salmon died in Tuesday’s wreck east of Eugene.

The truck was hauling the last load of an estimated 227,000 salmon from a hatchery that’s low on water because of problems with a dam on the McKenzie River. The fish were to be released in a river south of Eugene.

The Register-Guard reports that the driver missed a curve and crashed into a power pole.

The truck ended up on its side in a ditch.

The driver suffered a broken shoulder and a possible concussion in the wreck on Highway 126.

Top business stories: U.S. grows, world slows

BY TALI ARBEL Associated Press

NEW YORK — This year showed how sheltered the U.S. economy is from geopolitical and health crises around the world. The global economy sputtered, but the U.S. powered ahead. Employers are finally hiring enough to lower unemployment. A plunge in gas prices and a rising stock market has Americans feeling richer and spending a bit more.

Those are some of the top business stories of 2014, as chosen by business editors at The Associated Press. Others include massive product disasters: A string of auto recalls after faulty ignition switches from General Motors Corp. and air bags in many car models caused injuries and deaths.

The top 10 business stories of 2014: 1. U.S. grows as world slows: After a freezing winter put a chill on buying and selling, the U.S. economy has posted its best six months since 2003. But the rest of the world hasn’t been as lucky. Japan has fallen back into recession. The 18 countries that make up the eurozone are barely growing and fear a dangerous drop in prices.

2. Jobs are back: Millions of Americans still struggle with low pay and fewer hours of work than they want, and millions have given up looking for a job entirely. But five years after the recession ended, the U.S. job market is looking healthy. The unemployment rate is below 6 percent. Employers added nearly 3 million jobs, the most since 1999, as

shoppers and businesses spend more.

3. Security breaches: The theft of 40 million credit and debit cards and 70 million personal records from Target last fall turned out to be just the beginning. Home Depot Inc. hackers nabbed 56 million cards and 53 million email addresses.

There were breaches at Kmart, Dairy Queen, and Albertsons.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. said hackers stole information covering 76 million households and 7 million small businesses.

4. Oil plunge: Global crude prices have fallen to around $53 per barrel from this year’s high of $115 because of more production, especially in the U.S., while slowing economies in Europe and Asia crimp demand. A rapid decline in the second half of the year pushed gasoline to about $2.26 a gallon in the U.S., the lowest price in more than five years.

Americans are pocketing $16.2 billion more a month than when gas was at its 2014 high of $3.70. Cheaper crude is also pumping up auto sales and saving airlines money on jet fuel.

5. Auto recalls: In the U.S. alone, automakers recalled more than 60 million cars and trucks.

That far surpasses the previous record of 30.8 million in 2004. The bulk of those come from two problems that have led to nearly 50 deaths and dozens of injuries.

Japanese air bag supplier Takata, whose air bags can inflate too fast and spew shrapnel, has fought regulators’ demands to expand recalls.

6. Mobile momentum: PC sales are slumping,

but mobile phone subscriptions are expected to reach 7 billion this year — the same as the world’s population. Phone makers are launching cheaper smartphones aimed at developing countries, which could get billions more people online.

7. Stock market soars: Another year, another record. The end of the Federal Reserve’s bondbuying stimulus program stressed investors this fall, but U.S. stocks kept rising, extending the bull market run to nearly six years.

8. Minimum wage growth: Inequality has been rising, and median household incomes have fallen since the recession began in late 2007.

But the federal minimum hourly wage has remained at $7.25 since 2009. Labor organizers, fast-food workers and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. employees have campaigned for higher pay across the country.

9. Janet Yellen: Janet Yellen, a 68-year-old former economics professor and the No. 2 at the Fed, became the first woman to lead the central bank.

Plainspoken, with a trace of her native Brooklyn in her speech, Yellen criticizes inequality, focuses on jobs growth and has tried to demystify the moves of the notoriously opaque Fed. 10. Let’s make a deal: Higher stocks and confidence lifted global mergers and acquisitions volume to highest level since 2007. Global deal volume rose 20 percent to $3.41 trillion, including debt. Climbing markets make it easier to do stock deals, and borrowing is cheap.

Religious leaders are telling people, “all one has to do to be saved is to receive Christ as your personal savior”. Such a statement is unclear as to what is involved in receiving Christ.

It is impossible for one to receive Christ without receiving his word, because the two are inseparably joined. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). According to John 1:14, the word was made flesh and lived among men, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”. Those who reject Christ refuse to receive his word, “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day”.

Those who receive Christ, are given the power, right or privilege to become sons of God. “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 1:12): Christ did not say that they were sons of God, but were given the power to become the sons of God. One who has become a child of God, has been forgiven of all past sins. “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16:16). Jesus stated that repentance and remission of sins would be preached in his name beginning at Jerusalem, “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem” (Luke 24:47). This was first preached on the day of Pentecost in the city of Jerusalem. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:38).

Connected to receiving Christ is that of being born of God. “Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:13). Christ told Nicodemus, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). That birth involved water and the Spirit, “...

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5). This birth is brought about by the word, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” (James 1:18). “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). Receiving Christ and his word is not something mystical, but part of the new birth. “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Galations 3:2627). One cannot receive Christ without accepting and obeying his word.

LABELING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

ban areas were most likely to make organic food a priority.

Americans are already informed Even though a majority favors more calorie labeling, most Americans say they already have enough information to decide whether they are making healthy purchases at restaurants.

Sixty percent say they now have enough nutrition information at sitdown restaurants and 56 percent say they do at fast food restaurants.

That number drops to 48 percent at prepared food counters in grocery stores.

Around a third say they don’t have enough information to decide if they are making a healthy purchase in any of those places.

When it comes to the grocery store, 75 percent of people say they have enough information to make a healthy choice.

Unlike restaurants, where nutritional information is often a mystery, nutrition facts panels have been required on packaged foods since the 1990s. The FDA included prepared foods at supermarkets in the menu labeling rules as grocery stores have increasingly sold restaurant-like offerings.

The menu labels were required by Congress as part of health overhaul in 2010. The FDA has said they are just one way to combat obesity, since Americans eat and drink about one-third of their calories away from home.

Michael Taylor, FDA’s deputy commissioner of foods, said the agency knows there is strong interest from the public in the labeling.

Holiday song not well known despite history Eighteenth century Scottish poet Robert Burns devoted the last years of his life to writing verse that was put to song.

The poem “Auld Lang Syne,� later put to the tune of a Scottish folk song, is one of many such songs from Stacy the LowJones land Scots tradition The Dowtowner attributed to him, although he hinted that he did not write all of the lyrics.

When it was submitted to the Scots Musical Museum, Burns included a note stating: “The following song, an old song, of the olden times, and which has never been in print, nor even in manuscript until I took it down from an old man’s singing, is enough to recom-

mend any air.� First published in 1788, a slightly different version was published in Thomson’s Select Songs of Scotland in 1799, three years following his death.

Nevertheless, we still sing the song to a slightly different tune than the traditional Scottish ditty called “Can Ye Labour Lea,� to which Burns set the lyrics. It is sometimes titled “Song of the Old Folks.� The song is a sentimental one that serves as a reminder of the love and kindness of those around us and a reflection on the past and our friendships.

The song’s several verses make reference to two childhood friends who are separated by time and distance. They later reunite to share a drink and memories. They inquire as to whether they’ll ever forget the old days and their affection for one another.

Whatever the origin of

the song, it has become a beloved way to close out one year and bring in another calendar year.

In Asian locales such as Bangkok and Beijing, it has become an anthem of togetherness and bittersweet farewells so much that it might be presumed to be a Chinese or Thai folk song. In France, it is a song that eases the pain of parting with its words: “Oui, nous nous reverrons, mes frères, ce n’est qu’un au revoirâ€?—or “Yes, we meet again, my brothers; this is a goodbye.â€?

Although it may have been Burns who is rumored to have penned the words to the quintessential New Year’s Song “Auld Lang Syne�—which means “old long since�— it was bandleader Guy Lombardo who made it an enduring tradition.

Lombardo and his group, the Royal Canadian Band, took the stage of the Roosevelt Hotel in

New York City on New Year’s Eve in 1929. Their performance was broadcast on CBS radio before midnight and NBC radio after midnight. Between broadcasts, Lombardo chose to have the band play an old Scottish folk song he had heard from Scottish immigrants in Ontario.

Prior to Lombardo’s rendition, there were documented instances of the song being sung on New Year’s Eve, but it was not quite the tradition that it would become until after Lombardo’s band performed it. Lombardo and the Royal Canadians performed it every year in New York City until his death at 75 in 1977. In fact, the band continued to perform it for two more years following Lombardo’s death. Their competitor for holiday viewing was Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, which popular with younger au-

diences in the 1970s.

In November 2009, staff and students at Glasgow University in Scotland set a new world record involving the song.

More than 200 people sang it in 41 different languages, including Gaelic, Czech, Estonian, Esperanto, Latin, Thai, Persian, Arabic, Malay, Vietnamese, Frisian, Hindi, Urdu, Irish Gaelic, Romanian, Scots, Welsh, Ukrainian, Yoruba, Swahili, Catalan, Bangla, Maori, Chichewa, Georgian, and Igbo.

However, so few people have bothered to learn the lyrics to a song that is associated with annual tradition. Very few could quote anything beyond the first verse and chorus.

Add to that lack of learning the fact that the song is often slurred by revelers in the midst of alcoholic libations, including champagne, most obviously.

The song, which has been called “the most popular song that nobody knows the words to,� is so misunderstood that it has often become the butt of pop culture jokes. In the movie “When Harry Met Sally,� Harry (Billy Crystal) remarks to Sally (Meg Ryan) that he never quite understood the song and doesn’t know whether it is about remembering old friends or forgetting them.

So, in celebration of the New Year, with deference to poet Robert Burns and bandleader Guy Lombardo, here’s to times and friends from the “old long since.�

For Obama library, haves vie against have-nots Boy, 2, fatally shoots

BY JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

HONOLULU — President Barack Obama has preached economic opportunity and equal access to education as cornerstones of the legacy he wants to leave behind.

But in the contest to host his presidential library, two public universities that serve needy communities fear the playing field has been tilted against them by a pair of elite, private schools with seemingly endless money.

As Obama weighs a decision he’ll announce within months, the University of Hawaii and the University of Illinois at Chicago are struggling to offer the upfront resources needed to offset the massive cost of building the library and presidential museum, expected to run close to half a billion dollars. The other two schools in the running, Columbia University and the University of Chicago, are both top-10 schools with a combined endowment of more than $15 billion.

The Obamas are expected to raise much — but not all — of the money themselves, so a university’s ability to contribute will be a major factor. The Barack Obama Foundation, which is screening proposals and will recommend a winner to Obama, has asked each school in the run-

“We bring different assets to the table. But if the question is who can raise more money, Honolulu’s going to come in third.�

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii ning for explicit details about what financial and other resources they can bring to bear. “Look, when it comes to raw fundraising prowess, we’re not in a position to compete with New York and Chicago,� said Sen. Brian Schatz, DHawaii, during a recent interview in his Honolulu office, overlooking the panoramic, oceanfront site that Hawaii has proposed for the library. “We bring different assets to the table. But if the question is who can raise more money, Honolulu’s going to come in third.�

In an unusual move this week, the Obama foundation let it be known that it was displeased with Chicago’s proposals — in particular, the fact that the University of Chicago can’t guarantee access to its proposed South Side sites because they sit on city park district property. Still, the blunt warning through the media appeared designed mainly to light a fire under the University of Chicago to fill holes in its proposal, and Mayor

Rahm Emanuel’s office quickly stepped in to say the city was working to acquire the land for the library’s use.

Across town at the University of Illinois at Chicago, student trustee Danielle Leibowitz said her university has suspected that it’s the underdog all along. A key player in her school’s bid for the library, Leibowitz said the university wants to team up with a community foundation to build the library in North Lawndale, a blighted, heavily black neighborhood on the West Side. “If he wants to be consistent with the message he’s given throughout his presidency, it really only makes sense to give it to us,� Leibowitz said. “To suddenly hand over your legacy to a private institution seems rather hypocritical.�

The University of Chicago and Columbia declined to comment for this report.

The Obama foundation said each school has its own unique strengths and regardless of which

school is chosen, the foundation will be able to raise the needed money. “The foundation is looking at each response as a complete package and will choose a partner which, on balance, offers the best opportunity to create an outstanding presidential library and museum,� the foundation said in a statement.

As public, taxpayerfunded institutions, the University of Illinois and the University of Hawaii face legal and practical limitations on how much they can contribute to a project such as Obama’s library. Still, both schools have sought to show they’re eager to do what they can. Hawaii lawmakers have expressed interest in having the state pitch in, while the foundation partnering with the University of Illinois has pledged $5 million. Obama was born in Hawaii and started his family and political career in Illinois.

Columbia and the University of Chicago have been coy about what they’re offering.

But people familiar with those schools’ proposals, who weren’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity, said both schools are prepared to absorb a substantial chunk of the cost themselves. They’re also working to secure attractive real estate where the library can be built.

mother in Wal-Mart

BY NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS Associated Press

HAYDEN, Idaho — A shopping trip to a northern Idaho Wal-Mart turned tragic when a 2-year-old boy reached into his mother’s purse, grabbed her concealed gun and accidentally killed the woman, authorities said.

Veronica J. Rutledge, 29, who was described as a loving mother, was shopping Tuesday with her son and three other children when the young boy grabbed the smallcaliber handgun, which discharged one time, Kootenai County sheriff’s spokesman Stu Miller said. Miller said the boy had been left in a shopping cart.

Rutledge was from Blackfoot in southeastern Idaho, and her family had come to the area to visit relatives.

She was an employee of the Idaho National Laboratory, The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington, reported.

The Idaho Falls laboratory supports the U.S. Department of Energy in nuclear and energy research and national defense.

Responding deputies found Rutledge dead in the Wal-Mart in Hayden, a politically conservative town of about 9,000 peo-

ple about 40 miles northeast of Spokane, Washington. “It appears to be a pretty tragic accident,� Miller said.

The victim’s father-inlaw, Terry Rutledge, told The Associated Press that Veronica Rutledge “was a beautiful, young, loving mother.� “She was not the least bit irresponsible,� Terry Rutledge said. “She was taken much too soon.�

The woman’s husband arrived to the store in Idaho’s northern panhandle shortly after the shooting around 10:20 a.m. Tuesday, Miller said. All the children were taken to a relative’s house.

Brooke Buchanan, a spokeswoman for WalMart, said in a statement that the shooting was a “very sad and tragic accident.� The Hayden store closed for the rest of the day. “We are working closely with the local sheriff’s department while they investigate what happened,� Buchanan said.

Idaho National Laboratory senior chemical engineer Vince Maio worked with Rutledge on a research paper about using glass ceramic to store nuclear waste, The Spokesman-Review reported.

Maio said he was immediately impressed with her.

Institute for Supply Management

The latest reading of an index based manufacturing index on a survey of purchasing managers 60 is expected to show a slight monthly est. decline.

57.5 Economists anticipate that the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index slipped to 57.5 in 55 December from 58.7 a month earlier.

That would be the second monthly drop in a row. Any number above 50 signals expansion. The October 50 reading matched a three-year high J A S O N D reached in August. The December index is due out tomorrow.

Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R READERS: Welcome to 2015!

If the last year was challenging for some of us, a new one has arrived, bringing with it our chance for a new begin-

ning.

Today is the day we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions, which were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of AlAnon: 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 ac-

cept 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 will improve my appearance, speak 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 just 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 responsibility for my own actions.

And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by L.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. Wis-

dom 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.

“O Divine Master, “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. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your favorite people are the ones who can express themselves sincerely and briefly. Your day will be filled with the other kind, so you’ll do well to develop the conversational means of getting to the point.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Whoever told you that you have to be an expert before you start?

Start now, and if you stick with it a while, you’ll become an expert through the process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You are reticent to stand out because that means you’ll have to field a lot of mixed feelings about what you’re doing. Be brave.

Field the feedback. It’s better to be envied than to be ignored.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Maybe you’d prefer that the people in your life didn’t make mistakes, but you do appreciate a person who can own up to responsibility when mistakes happen. In fact, this is how trust

is built today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Since you are feeling particularly impressionable today, place yourself in the company of the people you want to be like and in the environments you aspire to inhabit regularly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Planning will trump discipline.

Think of your day like an obstacle course that you know well, and outfit yourself with all that’s needed to sail through each hurdle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

If you needed an excuse to lie around and watch comedies on television, here it is: Sometimes it’s enough just to take care that your spirit isn’t broken.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The best indicator of right and wrong will be your feelings.

Right will probably feel difficult before and during but peaceful after. Wrong will feel easy before and during but terrible after.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You never have to seek new interests, because one naturally leads to another. If you find yourself searching, it’s because you’re not being curious enough about what’s right in front of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Memories make up stories, but that doesn’t mean your memories are mistaken. The stories, true or false, are yours.

You remember them a certain way for a reason.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The games of the day will involve risk, and there’s no way to get around this. If you’re not risking, you’re not playing, and if you’re not playing, you’re not having fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll be inspired to create today. This happens in part because wherever you go there are lovely things to look at. Appreciating beauty makes you beautiful.

WILD CARD WEEKEND Cardinals (11–5) at Panthers (7–8–1)

The Panthers are the first team to reach the playoffs in a season during which it played seven straight games without a win. Carolina used a 4–0 record in December — its third straight four-win December — to rebound. A once-healthy Arizona got out to a 9–1 start before losing four of its last six, including the last two. The Cardinals have not eclipsed 20 points since Week 10.

Ravens (10–6) at Steelers (11–5)

The Steelers can apparently still roll along with their big three of Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell after it was determined Bell suffered no ligament damage in his knee in Week 17. However, Bell will likely be questionable and in a lot of pain.

Baltimore rallied past Cleveland to earn a playoff spot and travel to face their AFC North rivals. Pittsburgh won 43–23 in Week 9 but Baltimore posted a 26–6 win in Week 2.

Bengals (10–5–1) at Colts (11–5)

The Dallas Cowboys are 4–0 in December, with a potent offense averaging 41.3 points per game during the final month of the regular season.

THE ‘BOYS ARE BACK… IN THE PLAYOFFS Dallas Cowboys return to postseason for first time since 2009

T

he day your five-year old has waited his whole life for is finally here — the Dallas Cowboys are back in the postseason.

Behind a franchise-record setting trio on offense, Dallas won the NFC East with a 12–4 record and has returned to the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2009.

“Now we have a chance to take everything we built and paid for, the foundation and the experiences we had … We have a chance to carry that into a tournament I like to call the playoffs,” said Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones. “Our team is ready to do that like any team, and frankly any team I’ve been associated with have different nuances than the teams I had in the ’90s.

Still, this team has a uniqueness to it that could serve us well in the playoffs.”

When the Cowboys play host to the Detroit Lions in an NFC Wild Card game Sunday, it will be Dallas’ first playoff game since a Jan. 17, 2009 Divisional loss to Minnesota (34–3). The Cowboys defeated Philadelphia 34–14 in a Wild Card game the week before their loss to Minnesota — marking the Boys’ first playoff win since a 40–15 victory against the Vikings on Dec. 28, 1996.

Back in 1996, it was the triplets of quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and receiver Michael Irvin that was leading the charge. This year, it is Tony Romo under center, DeMarco Murray toting the ball and Dez Bryant making the grabs.

Romo finished the season with a 113.2 passer rating, the highest single-season mark in club history.

Murray posted 12 100-yard games this season and finished with 1,845 rushing yards. He passed Smith’s 11 100-yard games and 1,773 yards to set franchise records.

Bryant finished with 16 receiving touchdowns to pass Terrell Owens (15) for the most in a season in team history.

The Cowboys enter the postseason red hot, scoring 41.3 points per game and going 4–0 in December. That point production tied an NFL record for teams that played at least four games in the month of December, according to Elias Sports Bureau. (There have been more than 800 team-seasons in which a team played at least four regular-season games in December.) Dallas scored at least 40 points in three of its four games this month; it reached the 40-point mark in only two other games over their last six seasons.

The December performance has helped turn around a stigma that surrounded a Cowboys franchise that could not win in the last month of the year, particularly under coach Jason Garrett and Romo. Dallas entered this season 8–11 in December in four seasons with Garrett, and Romo 14–22 in the month.

“Those qualities have a way of sticking with you whether they are positive or negative,” Jones said. “When you get those characteristics of fading in December, there is only one way to cure it and that is to prove it in the people’s eyes. I know a lot of fans and media are accustomed to it but now we have proved it right before their eyes. We have basically cleaned it up in December.”

Meanwhile, Detroit is back in the postseason for the second time in three years after previously not having made since 2000. The Lions are still looking for their first playoff win since a 38–6 Divisional win over Dallas on Jan. 12, 1992. That win was the first postseason victory for the franchise since 1957, with only two appearances in between.

Both teams could be without their standout defensive tackles and see the opposing offenses get a boost as a result.

Ndamukong Suh has been suspended by the league for stepping on the leg of Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Week 17. For Dallas, free-agent acquisition Henry Melton has a leg injury that could cause him to miss the entire postseason. He was coming off an ACL tear suffered last season while playing for Chicago.

OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE BLACK MONDAY The San Francisco 49ers parted ways with coach Jim Harbaugh, who landed quickly on his feet at the University of Michigan. Harbaugh’s alma mater rewarded him with the richest contract in college football history. Harbaugh led the 49ers to three straight NFC Championship Games and lost a Super Bowl to his brother John’s Baltimore Ravens in 2012. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Harbaugh's four-year tenure with the 49ers was the best in the regular season in NFL history.

Of all the coaches who spent part or all of four consecutive seasons, but no more than four, his 44–19–1 mark bested Lou Saban's 36–17–3 run in his first go-round with Buffalo (1962-65). If Denver's John Fox were to leave Denver after this season, his 46–18 would surpass Harbaugh's. New England, Green Bay, and Denver were the only franchises with better records than the 49ers during Harbaugh's tenure. …

Harbaugh was not the only coaching casualty on Black Monday, but he was the only one to instantly secure another job. Atlanta fired Mike Smith after seven seasons, a 66–46 record, 1–4 in the postseason, and no postseason trips the last two years. … While Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff remained, two other organizations did make a clean sweep. The New York Jets, who missed the postseason for

the fourth year in a row, fired coach Rex Ryan and GM John Idzik.

Ryan was 46–50 in six seasons with four postseason wins and back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances.

He and Idzik were together the last two years. … In Chicago, coach Marc Trestman was fired after just two seasons, and GM Phil Emery is gone after three seasons. The Bears have not made the postseason in four years. … Fired early in the season was Dennis Allen in Oakland. Tony Sparano was named the interim coach, and it's still up in the air whether the interim will be dropped and he will remain or he will be dropped altogether. The same goes for GM Reggie McKenzie. The Raiders are rumored to be eyeing Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio. … On the bright side, New York Giants two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Tom Coughlin is expected to return in 2015 despite going 13–19 the last two seasons.

The Colts closed the season with a win, as expected, against lowly Tennessee, and were winners of five of their last six. However only one was against a team with a winning record (Houston), and their last win against a playoff team was in Week 7. Against? These Bengals. This is a rematch of a 27–0 Indianapolis shutout against visiting Cincinnati. The Bengals are 8–2 since, going 2–2 against playoff teams.

Lions (11–5) at Cowboys (12–4)

Detroit has another association with 0–16 as it heads to Dallas. Six years removed from the winless 2008 campaign, the Lions have a quarterback in Matthew Stafford who arrives in the Lone Star State 0–16 on the road against teams with a winning record. And with defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh being suspended for the game after stepping on Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers' leg last week, it will be even more difficult for the Lions to win on the road.

Titans must decide if Mettenberger can be their QB

BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Zach Mettenberger thinks he is the answer to the Tennessee Titans’ quarterback problem, not Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston.

The Titans have four months to decide if they agree before going on the clock with the second overall pick in the 2015 draft.

“It’s an important decision for us, for the orga-

nization going forward, and I think that that’s one that we have time to make that decision,” coach Ken Whisenhunt said.

“We’re going to go through that process and look at it. I’m sure in time we’ll come to the right one.”

Whisenhunt wrapped up his first year with a 2-14 record that is this franchise’s worst since 1994. The Titans tried one last time to see if Jake Locker might be their

quarterback. He didn’t get the chance to return after his second injury in five games before the Titans turned to Mettenberger, a sixth-round draft pick out of LSU. Mettenberger started six games before hurting his right, throwing shoulder, and the season slipped away with 10 straight losses, including 14 of the final 15.

Mettenberger finished with 1,412 yards passing, becoming the eighth quar-

terback to lead the Titans in passing in eight seasons. Tennessee now has struck out on two quarterbacks selected with a top eight draft pick or better since 2006.

The Titans also extended their playoff drought to six seasons.

“We didn’t get it done, so we’ve got work to do to get to that point,” Whisenhunt said.

“Whenever you have a season like we did, there’s going to be changes.

You’re going to get better.

We’ve got work to do.

We understand that.”

Whisenhunt brought in both a new offense and had defensive coordinator Ray Horton switch the Titans from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4.

Neither produced, with the Titans ranking 29th in total offense and 27th in total defense.

They couldn’t run, scoring only six touchdowns on the ground all season, a franchise-low in a 16-

game season.

They also couldn’t defend against the run, ranking ahead of only Cleveland.

Titans president and CEO Tommy Smith insists he is sticking with general manager Ruston Webster and Whisenhunt despite fans wanting both fired.

Whisenhunt knows he’s on the clock.

“It better get better than this, or you’ll be talking to somebody else next year,” Whisenhunt said.

TCU crushes Ole Miss in Peach

BY CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Bo Wallace spent far too much of his final game on his back, courtesy of the TCU pass rush.

Wallace threw three interceptions and was sacked five times as No. 9 Mississippi was overwhelmed in its 42-3 loss to No. 6 TCU in the Peach Bowl on Wednesday.

Wallace leaves Ole Miss with career records for total yards, plays, 300-yards games and completion percentage. He also leaves with the sting of a loss in which the Rebels were held to 9 yards rushing and 129 total yards.

“It’s pretty obvious that I didn’t want to go out this

way,” Wallace said. “I didn’t want the seniors to go out this way. Really, we had a chance to help next year’s team in the preseason rankings and that was important to me.”

Ole Miss (9-4) couldn’t keep pace with the Horned Frogs, who rode three touchdown passes from Trevone Boykin and a dominant defense to the lopsided win.

Wallace and the Rebels had a poor start and never recovered.

On the third play of the game, Wallace’s pass over the middle was intercepted

by Chris Hackett. Two plays later, TCU led 7-0.

The rout was on.

With 2 minutes remaining

in the half, Wallace tried to avoid a safety when he threw a short desperation pass in the end zone. The ball was caught

by TCU defensive end James McFarland for a touchdown and a 28-0 halftime lead.

“The first half was like a straight punch in the mouth,” said Ole Miss tight end Evan Engram.

Ole Miss ranked first in the nation with its average of only 13.8 points allowed.

Turnovers and TCU’s quickstrike offense were too much to overcome.

Wallace completed only 10 of 23 passes for 109 yards with three interceptions.

The Rebels avoided the shutout when Gary Wun-

derlich kicked a 27-yard field goal with 7:18 remaining.

Josh Doctson had two touchdown catches and Aaron Green ran for a score and added a touchdown reception for the Horned Frogs (12-1).

“We showed Atlanta, the crowd and everyone that we deserve to be in the playoffs competing for the national championship,” said receiver Kolby Listenbee, who threw a touchdown pass and had a scoring catch.

Ole Miss lost four of its last six games.

TCU looked like a championship contender to Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Trapped behind the line of scrimmage, Georgia Tech quarterback Justin Thomas escaped by veering sharply and upfield, leaving a defender flailing and Yellow Jackets fans cheering another touchdown.

Thomas and his teammates were tough to tackle Wednesday night in the Orange Bowl, rolling up 452 yards rushing to beat Mississippi State 4934.

Thomas ran for 121 yards and three touchdowns, and threw for 125 yards and a score. Synjyn Days ran for 171 yards and three scores,

including a 69-yarder that defused Mississippi State’s comeback bid.

No. 10 Georgia Tech (11-3) earned its first Orange Bowl victory in 63 years. The Yellow Jackets improved to 2-8 in bowl games in the past 10 seasons.

“Our program took a step forward this year,” Thomas said, “and we’re planning to keep striving to put Georgia Tech’s name on the top of the list.”

No. 8 Mississippi State (103) lost three of its final four games after being ranked No. 1 for five consecutive weeks.

Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott threw for 453 yards,

an Orange Bowl record and a career high. Mississippi State outgained Georgia Tech 605577, and the two-team total was an Orange Bowl record, but the Bulldogs twice lost the ball on downs in the second half, and two onside kick attempts failed.

Mississippi State scored on a 42-yard Hail Mary on the final play of the first half to trail 21-20, but the Yellow Jackets were unfazed, bouncing back with touchdowns on their first four possessions of the second half to lead 42-20.

“We talked about it at halftime — if we scored every time in the second half, we couldn’t lose, because we were ahead,”

Tech coach Paul Johnson said.

Georgia Tech ran its triple option with uncharacteristic balance in the first half, when Thomas threw 10 times for 125 yards. But the nation’s second-ranked rushing offense revved it up in the third quarter, when the Yellow Jackets pulled away by gaining 208 yards, all on the ground.

The Yellow Jackets’ rushing total was an Orange Bowl record.

Thomas was chosen the game’s outstanding player.

Georgia Tech senior Darren Waller had a career-high 114 yards on five catches.

Bama benchwarmer has chance at another ring

BY BRETT MARTEL Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Remove Alabama receiver Daniel Geddes’ crimson No. 37 jersey, and it would be difficult to distinguish him from any other student on campus.

Yet on the Crimson Tide football team he stands out — if you can even find his 5-foot6, 165-pound frame among the hulking players who com-

prise the bulk of ‘Bama’s roster.

Geddes, who received his masters in sports management earlier this month, is completing his third season on Alabama’s roster and has not played a single down. He has a maximum of two games left, starting with Thursday night’s national semifinal in the Sugar Bowl against Ohio State, followed possibly by the

national title game in Dallas.

He doesn’t expect to play in those, either, but doesn’t regret a second spent pushing his limits in the weight room or running himself ragged on the practice field.

At the very least, he’ll always be able to say he was yelled at by coach Nick Saban, which he “absolutely” qualifies as an authentic Alabama experience.

The last time he was scolded by Saban, he’d improperly mimicked an upcoming opponent’s pass route against the first-team defense.

“It’s nothing personal. Everyone can get that any day,” he said with a smile as he stood on the Superdome turf during Sugar Bowl media day this week. “I try not to get too Please see BAMA | 13

Meyer’s goal of SEC North gets tested in Big Easy

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — When Urban Meyer got back into coaching at Ohio State, he made it clear what kind of program he wanted to build.

SEC North.

Well, he’ll get a chance to see just how that plan is going when the Buckeyes take on the Southeastern Conference powerhouse everyone wants

to emulate.

Top-ranked Alabama (121) will meet No. 5 Ohio State (12-1) in the Sugar Bowl tonight, a semifinal game in college football’s new playoff system. The winner advances to the Jan. 12 national championship game against either Florida State or Oregon, which play in the other semifinal at the Rose Bowl.

The Crimson Tide is going

for its fourth national championship in six seasons, a stunning run of dominance in what is supposed to be an era of increased parity.

“You can have that oneshot wonder, that one-year wonder, that one year where everything goes right,” Meyer marveled at the final Sugar Bowl news conference Wednesday. “But to have it year after year, that’s the

model that people look for.”

No one does it better than Nick Saban and the Tide, who have gone 84-10 over the last seven seasons. Alabama captured national titles in 2009, 2011 and 2012 and came ohso-close to winning it all two other years.

sensitive about it because even his assistant coaches get that.”

Geddes was born in Germany, the son of military parents, Patrick and Mary, who are both Tuscaloosa natives and avid Crimson Tide fans. They brought up their son on stories about Alabama’s glory days under coach Paul “Bear” Bryant.

The family returned to Tuscaloosa when Geddes was 8. He loved Alabama games, which he usually watched on TV. “Every once in a while we were able to pull off some tickets,” Geddes recalled.

In high school he was a backup running back, a defensive back, kicker and punter. He said he might have carried the ball three times for 15 yards as a senior.

He enrolled in Alabama in 2010 and sought to walk on to the football team, but was cut after fall camp. The same in 2011.

Once more, he tried, in 2012. That season he wound up with a national championship ring and memories that formed the basis of a speech he later delivered to the team.

“I remember the excitement flowing through my veins and how blessed I felt to be there” for Alabama’s BCS title triumph over Notre

Dame in Miami, Geddes recalled telling his teammates. “It’s a feeling that you cannot purchase.”

Though Geddes is even smaller than kicker Adam Griffith (5-10, 188), some of Alabama’s biggest stars haven taken notice of his work ethic.

Receiver Amari Cooper, a Heisman Trophy finalist, calls Geddes “an inspiration.”

“Just aside from football, he’s a great person.

I get a chance to talk to him and every time I learn something,” Cooper said. “When we run (sprints) and things like that in the offseason, he works really hard, works really hard in the weight room. ... He makes me want to better myself.”

Cooper, in turn, works with Geddes on his route-running, from his footwork to his hand placement.

“To have that kind of athlete telling me how to do my job better, to make the defense better, is just too cool,” Geddes said.

The previous two seasons Geddes was a scout team defensive back and had to cover Cooper in practice.

“There’s plenty of film out there of him making me look just awful,” said Geddes, adding that seeing Cooper do similar things to opponents’ first-team defensive backs “makes me feel a lot better.”

against, the Tide broke out a helmet with the number 15 — symbolizing the number of national titles the school claims to have won — for its photo ops leading up to the game.

It was there again Wednesday, propped on the dais as Meyer and Saban posed for pictures with the Sugar Bowl trophy.

“Our entire staff and all of our players have responded very well to the standard that we try to set for the way we want things to be done and how they need to be done so you can have success,” Saban said, methodically explaining the success of a program that seems to be on championship auto-drive.

Some of those 15 championships are highly suspect, most notably the 1973 team that lost to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. But even when limiting the count to The Associated Press poll, Alabama still has more titles (nine) than

any other school.

The formula hasn’t changed much over the years: recruit the best players, put a system in place that makes it clear what is expected of them, and work harder than everyone else.

The 63-year-old Saban has turned to parables to drive home that last point, even if they’re a bit mystifying to players young enough to be his grandchildren.

“He once told the team something about this, I don’t know, a rock hitter or something like that,” receiver Amari Cooper said. “I don’t know what the guy was hitting a rock for. But he said the guy hit the rock 100 times and the rock didn’t do anything. The 101st time he hit it and the rock split.”

The point being?

“Even though you may be working hard and might not be seeing the results so quick, we have to keep working hard,” Cooper said, “At the end of the day, all the results will come from your hard work.”

“TCU is a very good team,” Freeze said. “They deserved ever mention they got this year to be in the hunt for one of the four. ... I’m glad I’m not on that committee to pick the four. They certainly could compete with any of the four in it, there’s no question in my mind.”

The action was as lopsided as the score. TCU finished with 423 yards in the biggest margin of victory in Peach Bowl history.

Freeze said the loss was especially painful to the Ole Miss seniors.

“I got to go around that locker room to see every single senior and to see them hurt like they’re hurting today is not much fun,” Freeze said.

Boykin also had turnover problems, as he

LOS ANGELES — For years, college football fans pleaded for a playoff. Now it’s here and it starts at the sport’s most hallowed venue, with two Heisman Trophy winners and the defending national champions.

Welcome to the College Football Playoff at the Rose Bowl, where the past and present intersect to usher in a new era.

Marcus Mariota and second-seeded Oregon (12-1) face Jameis Winston and third-seeded Florida State (13-0) on Thursday in the first national semifinal ever played at college football’s highest level.

Ducks coach Mark Helfrich and Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher held their final news conferences Wednesday at a downtown Los Angeles hotel.

They posed for pictures with the Rose Bowl trophy, shook hands and went their separate ways.

“We’re looking forward to the challenge,” Fisher said. “We know it’s a heck of a challenge. They’ve got a great team. We’ve got a great team. It ought to be fun.”

Next stop, Pasadena.

But it’s not the last stop.

The winner gets a trip to Texas to play either Alabama or Ohio State on Jan. 12 for the national championship.

The Seminoles bring in a 29-game winning streak and last year’s Heisman winner, Winston, into its second straight trip to the Rose Bowl. Florida State won national championship there last season, beating Auburn 34-31 in the last BCS title game.

The Ducks are led by this year’s Heisman winner, Mariota, and are in search of their first national championship. Oregon is a relative newcomer among college football powerhouses. The only thing left for the Ducks to confirm their status as a member of the nation’s elite is a national title.

“It would validate things externally a lot more than

Boise State surprises Arizona with blandness in Fiesta Bowl Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Boise State Broncos are no longer just trickplay ponies.

They did score a touchdown on a Statue of Liberty play. This was the Fiesta Bowl, so of course they did.

But once the tricks were used up and the offensive fireworks dulled, Boise State had to grind out this Fiesta Bowl victory with its defense.

Donte Deayon returned an interception for a touchdown in third quarter and sack specialist Kamalei Correa had his biggest takedown of the season on the game’s final play, lifting No. 21 Boise State to a 38-30 victory over No. 12 Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl on Wednesday.

“They hit us, we stiffened up and came up a winner,” Boise State linebacker Tanner Vallejo said.

Boise State (12-2) lived up to its unpredictable reputation in the first quarter, pulling off the Statue of Liberty play while racing to a 21-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes.

Jay Ajayi scored two

of his three touchdowns in the first quarter — one on the trick play — and finished with 134 yards rushing. Grant Hedrick was perfect through his first 14 passes and threw for 304 yards and a touchdown. Thomas Sperbeck had 12 catches for 199 yards.

The bulk of those numbers came in the first half, though. Once the second rolled around, the Broncos bogged down, allowing Arizona to cut the lead to eight in the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats had a final chance, using their quick-strike offense to march down the field, but Correa sacked Anu Solomon at Boise State’s 10-yard on the game’s last play.

The Broncos charged onto the field after Correa’s sack, celebrating a successful first season under coach Bryan Harsin with their third Fiesta Bowl victory.

Not bad for a team supposedly in transition.

“People think Boise State isn’t a powerhouse program,” said Broncos receiver Chaz Anderson, who had a 57-yard touchdown catch in the

first quarter. “It feels good to be back to where we were in the past.”

Arizona (10-4) was overrun by Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship and seemed to still have a hangover against the Broncos.

Once the Wildcats shook out of their daze, they shut down Boise State’s high-powered offense and began chipping away at the lead.

The problem was that they needed to take bigger chunks.

Instead of scoring touchdowns, Arizona mostly dinked its way back, settling for three field goals after driving deep into Boise State’s end.

Turnovers also hurt.

Solomon threw for 335 yards and a touchdown, but had two interceptions that led to touchdowns for Boise State, including Deayon’s pick six late in the third quarter.

“Everything wasn’t going our way,” the redshirt freshman said. “I was overthinking things and I just can’t do that. I played like a freshman today.”

Boise State led 31-17 at halftime.

I think internally,” Helfrich said.

When we last saw Oregon playing, the Ducks played their best game of the season, winning the Pac-12 championship with a 51-13 beating of Arizona.

Mariota had all but locked up the Heisman Trophy by then, but he added an exclamation point against the Wildcats and ended up being a landslide winner. The Hawaii native has accounted for 53 touchdowns (38 passing, 14 rushing and one receiving) and is the top-rated passer in the country.

“I think he’s been an amazing guy and amazing player,” Winston said.

Moore leads Vols to win over ETSU Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Armani Moore had 13 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists Wednesday as Tennessee rallied to beat East Tennessee State 71-61 for its fourth straight victory.

ETSU (6-4) scored the game’s first 13 points and had a six-point lead early in the second half before Tennessee (8-4) took over.

The Buccaneers scored just two points and had no baskets during an 8½ minute stretch in the second half.

Josh Richardson had 19 points and six assists for Tennessee. Derek Reese matched a careerhigh with 12 points and made a go-ahead basket with 7:50 remaining as part of a 12-0 run.

ETSU’s Rashawn Rembert had 21 points and went 7 of 11 from 3-point range but attempted only one shot in the game’s final 19 minutes, 27 seconds.

Moore was three assists away from joining Tyler Smith as the only Volunteers to post a triple-double in school history.
