New low temperature set in area BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

By one degree, Monday morning’s frigid blast set a new record for the Corinth area. The overnight low of 10 degrees recorded at both the Corinth-Alcorn County Airport and by the cooperative observer located about 7 miles southwest of Corinth beats a record of 11 degrees set exactly 44 years ear-

lier on Jan. 6, 1970. The historical numbers are courtesy of Victor Murphy, climate focal point at the National Weather Service Southern Region Headquarters in Ft. Worth, Texas, where the cooperative and airport data are stored. Since the record covers the 24 hours of the date, it was possible the temperature could

break the record again before midnight going into today, depending on how quickly the mercury fell with a forecast low of 6 in Corinth. Former Corinthian Troy Kimmel, now a meteorologist in Texas, also took a look at the numbers. “The lowest high temperature ever recorded on Jan. 6 would have been 21 degrees on Jan. 6,

1970, and what we can tell was at midnight last night at the airport it was right at 20 or 21. So you probably have tied the record lowest high for this date.” Some snow was also reported on that day 44 years ago. Kimmel was a Corinth junior high student at the time, and he said he remembers the bitter cold spell. The record low for Jan. 7 is 5

degrees, also set in 1970. Jan. 7 also has the lowest high temperature for that date at 19. Kimmel said the numbers are from cooperative program reports dating back to about 1900. The program uses citizens to report weather observations across the country. Kimmel happened to be in Europe Monday, enjoying a balmy day in the 50s.

A split vote by the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday will give 911 employees a pay raise. Board President Lowell Hinton cast a tie-breaking “yes” vote to make it a 3-2 approval of pay raises that the board had tabled in October amid concerns about the 911 budget deficit. Those concerns continue, but District 2 Supervisor Dal Nelms, who made the motion to give the pay hike as originally presented, said the employees should not be penalized for it. “It’s not those employees’ fault,” he said. Also voting in favor was District 3 Supervisor Tim Mitchell, who seconded the motion and noted that the budget as approved for the current fiscal year did include funds for the raises. Gary Ross, District 4, and Jimmy Tate Waldon, District

5, voted “no.” “I’m going to be against it, not because of the employees, but because we’re not where we need to be as far as the budget is concerned,” said Waldon. “What bothers me is where is this money coming from,” said Ross. The 911 budget is suffering from the decline in fees derived from land line use as people pull the plug on home phone service and shift to mobile phones. Some county officials are concerned Alcorn County is not receiving fees for all of the phones in use in the county, and supervisors are watching with interest what happens in Hinds County, where officials want to pursue some of the money they believe is not making it from the phone companies to the 911 fund. Hinton said another contributor to the shortfall is that Please see RAISE | 2

Major arctic system hits Crossroads Stalker Awareness Month BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Crossroads residents bundled up to stay warm Sunday and Monday, as a major arctic system moved across the area. “This weather is just awful,” chattered Ellen Maness of Glen, while she sipped a mocha latte from KC’s Espresso. “The wind will cut right through you.” Sunday brought some rain and a bit of sleet before temperatures started to drop. Wind gusts topped 25 mph. Monday’s high temperature was 21 recorded at midnight, while the low temperature bottomed out at 11 according to the website, corinthweather. net. “It’s cold, that’s for sure,” blustered Ricky Gibens, Alcorn County Director of Emergency Services. “Single digits are tough on everybody.”

Gibens said the county roads weren’t as bad as he thought. “Bridges had some patchy ice, but nothing major,” he said. In the city, Corinth Street Commissioner Philip Verdung said salt treatment was applied to most bridges and hills around town just in case. “Most of the frozen precipitation the area got was quickly dried up by the strong winds,” said Verdung. The extreme cold weather kept Alcorn County schools from opening on Monday. McNairy County schools were closed Monday and Tuesday due to heating concerns, as well. Northeast Mississippi Community College campus’ in Booneville and Corinth were also canceled on Monday, while Tishomingo County schools were delayed two hours. Residents were busy ensuring

their vehicles were ready for the cold. “We sold a ton of antifreeze and only have one pallet left,” one Autozone employee said. Grocery store shelves were cleared of milk, bread and eggs as the hazardous weather approached the area. “We ran out of some stuff Sunday night,” said Danny Wilbanks, general manager at Gardner’s Supermarket. “We actually carry extra items at this time of year, so when items run out in the store we can just get extra out of the warehouse.” “People normally buy stuff they can eat if the power goes off,” he said. “Canned goods also ran low.” Corinth-Alcorn County Animal Shelter Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner and her husband Please see WEATHER | 2

marks 10th anniversary BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Suzie was just like any other teenage girl, she enjoyed going to parties, hanging out with her friends, and meeting new people. She never suspected that the boy of her dreams would become a living nightmare. First the phone calls started. He became angry when she couldn’t talk because she was doing her homework. There were other things too, text messages, letters in her locker, flowers on her doorstep, even gifts left inside her car. It was sweet at first, but soon spiraled out of control. He began to pop up wherever she went, became jealous of her friends and critical of her

dressing habits. Suzie became increasingly concerned for her well being. She tried to end it and in doing sealed her own fate. Sound familiar? This month marks the 10th anniversary of National Stalking Awareness Month. In was designated in Jan. 2004, by the National Center for Victims of Crime in order to bring to light a rising crime that affects one out of six American women.

Shelter calendars now available BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The 2014 Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter calendar is back from the printer and ready to help raise some much needed funds. “The calendar has turned into our biggest fundraiser of the year,” said Charlotte Doehner, shelter volunteer director. “These extra funds are really important right now since the area has been hit with colder than normal weather.” Doehner noted the shelter has seen an increase in the price of propane and kerosene, both of which is a viable part of daily operation at the shelter. “Electric bills are three times

more than normal, because of the cold weather,” she said. Last year the shelter printed its first calendar, “Real Men Love Cats Too.” This year the calendar, “Looking Forward to 2014,” features a combination of shelter animals and pets owned by community supporters.

Lawmakers face long agenda in 2014 session BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

CLARKSDALE — Mississippi lawmakers start their three-month session at noon today, and they face a long agenda. They'll write a budget, seek ways to control prison costs, debate education policy and argue about health care. Katisha Ray, a 27-yearold Clarksdale resident, said she wants them to consider creating college scholarships for people with financial need. The state puts some money into scholarships now, but they're not needbased. Rather, they're for students who finish high school with top grades or for people who want to enter specific fields, such as teaching. With tighter limits on federal Pell grants in the past couple of years, some lower-income students are having a harder

time paying for college. Ray started studying mass communication at Alcorn State University but says she moved back home to Clarksdale in 2008 after her father suffered a stroke. She has a part-time job and student loan debt. She said she's about a year short of completing her bachelor's degree and wants to finish but doesn't know how she can afford it. “It would be extra hard for me to get assistance,” Ray said as she stood among the racks of suits and sweaters at New York Hi-Style, the downtown Clarksdale clothing store where she works 20 to 30 hours a week. One of the store's owners, Richie Shingrani, said he wants lawmakers to increase the pay for elementary and secondary teachers. “If they don't pay a

The National Weather Service in Memphis forecasted today’s high to reach 25 with sunny skies. A Wind Child Advisory was

proper salary, nobody is going to come here,” said Shingrani, who has operated his store in the same location for 28 years, during which he has seen Clarksdale go from almost a ghost town to a place that now boasts several bustling blues clubs and restaurants and even an upscale spa just down Yazoo Avenue. Top lawmakers, including Republican House Speaker Philip Gunn, are discussing teacher pay raises. However, there has been little talk about creating need-based scholarships for college students. This is the third year of a four-year term, and many believe this is a good time to get things done: Firstterm legislators are comfortable in their jobs, and 2015 election-year pressure is still a somewhat distant concern.

Legislators are expected to fight over education funding as they write a budget. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant and the Republican-led Joint Legislative Budget Committee propose a few million more dollars for specific education programs, such as intensive literacy training in early elementary school. However, neither the legislative plan nor the governor's plan would fully fund the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, which is the largest chunk of money for elementary and secondary schools. MAEP is a complex funding formula designed to ensure each district receives enough money to meet certain academic standards. It became law in 1997 but has been fully funded only twice, during election years. The formula was designed to

On Thursday, the chance of freezing rain continues though noon. “Trucks are fueled and chainsaws are ready just in case this Wednesday/ Thursday system brings anything major,” said Gibens. “During this time of the year, we are always ready for anything.” Staff Writer Kimberly Shelton contributed to this story.

the City of Corinth did not join in the consolidated dispatch at the new justice center. “911 is 911. It’s not Alcorn County or the city or Farmington or anybody else,” said Waldon. “It’s a unified group of services that’s provided by one agency, and we’re picking the lion’s share of the tab up. I think the city as well as the county residents need to understand we don’t need separate dispatching.” The board also approved pay raise requests for employees in the tax collector’s office;

help Mississippi avoid an equity-funding lawsuit after such suits were filed in other states challenging the disparity between wealthier and poorer districts. Legislators are trying to control prison costs that have grown steadily, and eaten a larger share of the state budget, during the past two decades. They could argue about increasing the gasoline tax to pay for highway construction and maintenance or expanding Medicaid — an option under the federal health reform law. However, neither issue appears to have enough votes to pass. Although a few lawmakers argue a higher fuel tax would help improve the safety of roads, many say drivers are taxed enough. And while many Democrats say expanding Medicaid is a bargain with the

federal government paying most of the immediate cost, Republicans who control the House and Senate say the state can't afford to add hundreds of thousands more people to the program. Legislators have an early April deadline to adopt a budget for fiscal 2015, which begins July 1. Gov. Bryant and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee have separate budget proposals. Both seek to reduce the state's use of “one-time money,” such as winnings from lawsuit settlements, to pay for recurring expenses. “My number one budget priority is to do what we told the taxpayers we'd do in 2011 — that is, get to a structurally balanced budget where recurring revenue equals recurring expenditures,” Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Jan. 7, the seventh day of 2014. There are 358 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 7, 1789, America held its first presidential election as voters chose electors who, a month later, selected George Washington to be the nation’s first chief executive.

On this date: In 1610, astronomer Galileo Galilei began observing three of Jupiter’s moons (he spotted a fourth moon almost a week later). In 1800, the 13th president of the United States, Millard Fillmore, was born in Summerhill, N.Y. In 1894, one of the earliest motion picture experiments took place at the Thomas Edison studio in West Orange, N.J., as Fred Ott was filmed taking a pinch of snuff and sneezing. In 1927, commercial transatlantic telephone service was inaugurated between New York and London. In 1942, the Japanese siege of Bataan began during World War II. (The fall of Bataan three months later was followed by the notorious Death March.) In 1949, George C. Marshall resigned as U.S. Secretary of State; President Harry S. Truman chose Dean Acheson to succeed him. In 1953, President Harry S. Truman announced in his State of the Union message to Congress that the United States had developed a hydrogen bomb. In 1963, the U.S. Post Office raised the cost of a first-class stamp from 4 to 5 cents. In 1973, sniper Mark Essex laid siege at a Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge in downtown New Orleans for about 10 hours, killing seven people before being slain by police sharpshooters. In 1979, Vietnamese forces captured the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, overthrowing the Khmer Rouge government. In 1989, Emperor Hirohito of Japan died in Tokyo at age 87; he was succeeded by his son, Crown Prince Akihito. In 1999, for the second time in history, an impeached American president went on trial before the Senate. President Bill Clinton faced charges of perjury and obstruction of justice; he was acquitted.

Ten years ago President George W. Bush proposed legal status, at least temporarily, for millions of immigrants improperly working in the U.S. Swedish actress Ingrid Thulin died in Stockholm at age 77.

Adding baby to new health law plans not easy BY RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — You were patient with the government’s kooky website, and now you have your health insurance card. That’s good, since your family is expecting a new baby. But you may have jump through more hoops to get the child formally added to your policy. The Obama administration confirms there is no quick and easy way for consumers to update their coverage under the new health law for the birth of a baby and other common life changes. With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers still must cover new babies, officials say, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later. For now, the HealthCare.gov website can’t

handle new baby updates, along with a list of other life changes including marriage and divorce, a death in the family, a new job or a change in income, even moving to a different community. Such changes affect not only coverage but also the financial assistance available under the law, so the government has to be brought into the loop. But the system’s wiring for that vital federal function isn’t yet fully connected. At least 2 million people have signed up for private health policies through new government markets under President Barack Obama’s overhaul. Coverage started Wednesday, and so far, things appear to be running fairly smoothly, although it may take time for problems to bubble up. Health and Human Services Secretary Kath-

leen Sebelius calls it “a new day in health care.” Insurers say computerized “change in circumstance” updates to deal with family and life developments were supposed to have been part of the federal system from the start. But that feature got postponed as technicians scrambled to fix technical problems that overwhelmed the health care website during its first couple of months. “It’s just another example of, ‘We’ll fix that later,’” said Bob Laszewski, an industry consultant who said he’s gotten complaints from several insurers. “This needed to be done well before January. It’s sort of a flyby-night approach.” “We are currently working with insurers to find ways to make changing coverage easier while we develop an automated way for consumers

to update their coverage directly,” responded administration spokesman Aaron Albright. A Dec. 31 circular from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services addressed the problem. In questions and answers for insurers, the government said that the federal insurance marketplace will not be able to add a child until the system’s automated features become “available later.” It does not provide any clue as to when that might take place. The federal marketplace serves 36 states through HealthCare. gov and call centers. The Medicare agency, which runs the government’s other major health programs, is also responsible for the coverage expansion under Obama’s law. The question-andanswer circular says parents with a new baby

will be told to contact their insurer directly “to include the child immediately” on their existing policy. After the federal system is ready to process changes, parents will have to contact the government to formally bring their records up to date. Albright said parents will be able to add a new child to their policy for 30 days. Having a baby could increase a family’s monthly premiums, but it could also mean that the parents are eligible for a bigger tax credit to help with the cost. Under some circumstances, it could make the child or the family eligible for Medicaid, a safety-net program that is virtually free of cost to lowincome beneficiaries. “Add it to the list that shows HealthCare.gov is not done,” Laszewski said.

Col. Nabors takes command of the 186th ARW BY BRIAN LIVINGSTON The Meridian Star

MERIDIAN — The first thing Col. Mike Nabors did when he took over command of the 186th Air Refueling Wing at Key Field was walk over to a large window in his office and gaze out over the tarmac where several KC-135 tankers sat silently awaiting their next mission. Nabors, a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and the Air National Guard, wondered quietly what he had gotten himself into. “I felt a pressure on me, I’m not going to lie about that,” Nabors said. “But it went away a short time later when I drove through the gate the next morning and the guard handed me the newspaper saying, ‘Here is your paper Colonel.’ I felt right then everything was going to work out fine and I was at ease.” In December, Nabors was welcomed as the new commander at the G. V.

“Sonny” Montgomery National Guard Complex in Meridian taking over for Col. Franklin Chalk who retired Nov. 30 after seven years at the controls. The father of three children, Nabors was commander of flight operations for the 186th ARW and a pilot in the cockpit of the KC-135 Stratotanker before being tapped by Mississippi National Guard Adjutant Gen. Augustus Collins. Nabors said he is grateful for the confidence Collins has in his ability to lead the 186th ARW. “I think the most important thing is that I’m confident in the members of the 186th ARW,” Nabors said. “I understand I’ve been given a legacy to continue to build upon one left by Col. Chalk that was left to him by the previous commander. The wing has become accustomed to performing at the highest level possible. I want us to continue that winning

streak.” Nabors said he has seen firsthand the type of airman that has come through the gates of the base. These are the same men and women who have taken on numerous flying missions and overcome great adversity with the loss, and then with the reacquisition of the KC-135 tanker flying mission. These are the same airmen who took an Air Force mission, the MC12 reconnaissance program called “Project Liberty,” and built it from scratch, virtually writing the manual and training the pilots and crews. The standard is set high, thanks to the outstanding marks the wing earned in a recent USAF readiness exercise the first tanker wing, whether it was in the guard, reserve or active duty, ever to do so. Nabors’ new responsibilities will include overseeing the mission and the members of his

wing, as well as recruiting new members to join the Guard. Nabors will now oversee all logistics, training, personnel, and flying exercises for the entire base at Key Field. At this moment, training and getting every airman on the base up to speed on the KC-135 is the first order of the day. “You wouldn’t think that much would change in just a two-year period but the tanker has changed in the systems we are used to,” Nabors said. “There are new procedures and other demands. We have to be proficient in each and every one of them to maintain our high standards.” Nabors said the 186th ARW and many other National Guard units have demonstrated time and again just how valuable these personnel can be. There is no more stigma of the weekend warrior, especially after the success and readiness capabilities of the nation’s National Guard

was demonstrated beginning in the first Gulf War and continuing today in Afghanistan. Military leaders of the United States have come to both appreciate and count on all National Guard forces to do the missions at a high level of competency. “We step up,” Nabors said. “We answer the call and we do our jobs well.” The overall force makeup of guard units within a state will also have a future bearing on where, how, and when the 186th ARW will take off. Nabors said the new initiatives are leaning toward package deals, meaning the 186th ARW, the 172nd Airlift Wing stationed in Jackson, the 155th Brigade Combat Team scattered across the state and so forth may deploy together to augment other forces from other states. This is not even considering the special operations and smaller, tactically driven assets the armed forces have at their command.

Few Katrina legal battles still linger 8 years later BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS— A team of plaintiffs’ attorneys has spent roughly $16 million to sue the Army Corps of Engineers over levee breaches that flooded most of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Joseph Bruno, one of those lawyers, estimates that they ultimately will recoup a mere $3.5 million of their investment. There won’t be any windfalls for their clients, either. A string of court

rulings has insulated the federal government from liability for billions of dollars in flood damage that many residents and business owners have blamed on the corps’ shoddy design, construction and maintenance of the region’s system of levees and floodwalls. The courts have been a dead end for many other plaintiffs seeking compensation for Katrina-related losses. Rulings have consistently affirmed the insurance industry’s position that its homeowner policies don’t cover dam-

age from a hurricane’s rising water, a blow for many Katrina victims in Louisiana and Mississippi whose homes were wrecked by Katrina’s storm surge. Only a handful of Katrina legal battles continue to linger. A notable example is a jury trial scheduled to start this month for flood damage claims against Jefferson Parish and its disgraced former parish president, Aaron Broussard, over a decision to evacuate drainage pump operators just before the

storm’s landfall. But the bulk of the civil litigation spawned by the 2005 hurricane already has been resolved, usually to the plaintiffs’ detriment. “In my mind, Katrina is done,” Bruno said. Two weeks ago, U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval Jr. in New Orleans dismissed tens of thousands of levee-related claims against the federal government. Duval has presided over a batch of consolidated claims that has generated more than 21,000 docket entries

over the years. And his work on the litigation is largely done. Duval’s recent order essentially was a formality. The fate of those cases was sealed more than a year ago, when a federal appeals court reversed itself and overturned Duval’s landmark ruling that the federal government wasn’t immune from lawsuits blaming flood damage on the corps’ operation and maintenance of a New Orleans shipping channel. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed. Stalking takes a mental toll on and can have profound psychological effects on its victims. “Because the experience of being stalked has such long-term harmful effects on victims, both in terms of their emotional well-being and their earnings capacity, it is imperative that victims receive ready access to immedi-

ate and sustained therapy and monetary compensation for their trauma,” said William Darity, Professor of public policy in the Sanford School of Public Policy. Knowledge is power. If you suspect your activities and movements have attracted the attention of a stalker, take action immediately. The sooner it is reported, the better. In addition to alerting police, there are other

things that a person can do in order to be proactive. • Keep a log of all incidents that occur and include the date and time that it happened. • Always be alert and never put yourself in a situation where you are vulnerable. • Save all letters, text messages, emails, and voicemails from the stalker. • Preserve anything that can be used as evidence.

• Always check the back seat of your vehicle and lock the doors as soon as you get in. • Alert family and friends so they know to be on the lookout for suspicious activity. Lastly, if you suspect that you are being followed, never go home. Instead, drive to the police station or a crowed public location. (For more information, visit www.stalkingawarenessmonth.org)

Corinth, Miss.

The ‘Trickle-Down’ Lie New York’s new mayor, Bill de Blasio, in his inaugural speech, denounced people “on the far right” who “continue to preach the virtue of trickledown economics.” According to Mayor de BlaThomas sio, “They believe that the way Sowell to move forward is to give more Columnist to the most fortunate, and that somehow the benefits will work their way down to everyone else.” If there is ever a contest for the biggest lie in politics, this one should be a top contender. While there have been all too many lies told in politics, most have some little tiny fraction of truth in them, to make them seem plausible. But the “trickle-down” lie is 100 percent lie. It should win the contest both because of its purity – no contaminating speck of truth – and because of how many people have repeated it over the years, without any evidence being asked for or given. Years ago, this column challenged anybody to quote any economist outside of an insane asylum who had ever advocated this “trickledown” theory. Some readers said that somebody said that somebody else had advocated a “trickle-down” policy. But they could never name that somebody else and quote them. Mayor de Blasio is by no means the first politician to denounce this non-existent theory. Back in 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama attacked what he called “an economic philosophy” which “says we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else.” Let’s do something completely unexpected: Let’s stop and think. Why would anyone advocate that we “give” something to A in hopes that it would trickle down to B? Why in the world would any sane person not give it to B and cut out the middleman? But all this is moot, because there was no trickle-down theory about giving something to anybody in the first place. The “trickle-down” theory cannot be found in even the most voluminous scholarly studies of economic theories -- including J.A. Schumpeter’s monumental “History of Economic Analysis,” more than a thousand pages long and printed in very small type. It is not just in politics that the non-existent “trickle-down” theory is found. It has been attacked in the New York Times, in the Washington Post and by professors at prestigious American universities – and even as far away as India. Yet none of those who denounce a “trickle-down” theory can quote anybody who actually advocated it. The book “Winner-Take-All Politics” refers to “the ‘trickle-down’ scenario that advocates of helping the have-it-alls with tax cuts and other goodies constantly trot out.” But no one who actually trotted out any such scenario was cited, much less quoted. One of the things that provoke the left into bringing out the “trickle-down” bogeyman is any suggestion that there are limits to how high they can push tax rates on people with high incomes, without causing repercussions that hurt the economy as a whole. But, contrary to Mayor de Blasio, this is not a view confined to people on the “far right.” Such liberal icons as Presidents John F. Kennedy and Woodrow Wilson likewise argued that tax rates can be so high that they have an adverse effect on the economy. In his 1919 address to Congress, Woodrow Wilson warned that, at some point, “high rates of income and profits taxes discourage energy, remove the incentive to new enterprise, encourage extravagant expenditures, and produce industrial stagnation with consequent unemployment and other attendant evils.” In a 1962 address to Congress, John F. Kennedy said, “it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.” This was not a new idea. John Maynard Keynes said, back in 1933, that “taxation may be so high as to defeat its object,” that in the long run, a reduction of the tax rate “will run a better chance, than an increase, of balancing the budget.” And Keynes was not on “the far right” either. The time is long overdue for people to ask themselves why it is necessary for those on the left to make up a lie if what they believe in is true.

US Senate race will impact session JACKSON — Mississippi faces a contentious Republican primary battle for the U.S. Senate this year with state lawmaker Chris McDaniel trying to unseat Thad Cochran, the man who’s been in Congress almost as long as McDaniel has been alive. Just under five months remain until the June 3 primary. The state Legislature is scheduled to be in session three of those months, starting at noon Tuesday and ending no later than April 6. No doubt, McDaniel will have a fully packed schedule as he tries to balance campaign appearances with duties as a state senator from Jones County. No doubt, people will be keeping track of McDaniel’s attendance record at the state Capitol. The 41-year-old from Ellisville launched his U.S. Senate campaign in October, months after he and several colleagues formed a conservative coalition. The group thinks GOP leaders such as Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves are, well, just not conservative enough. The legislative session gives McDaniel a

platform to make speeches about ideas that appeal to his tea party base. As for the Emily l a w m a k e r s Wagster who aren’t Pettus M c D a n i e l fans? Those Capitol Dome folks — Democrat and Republican alike — will get a chance to maneuver against him every time he steps up to the microphone. Expect McDaniel to mention liberty and the Constitution almost any time he gets up to speak about a bill (he said “liberty” and “Constitution” about a dozen times each during his campaign announcement). Expect him to criticize government spending, on both the federal and state level. Expect him to criticize Common Core, the set of academic standards that Mississippi and most other states have adopted. The standards are not a federal dictate, but tea partiers hate them and members of the conservative coalition see them as a big step toward Washington taking over lo-

cal schools. Reeves, who presides over the Senate, was asked by The Associated Press how much the U.S. Senate race will affect the dynamics of the state Senate this session. “I would anticipate that it would affect the dynamics in the Senate zero,” Reeves said with a straight face and without hesitation. “The vast majority of members of members of the Senate were elected, well, all of them were elected to do a job, and that is to govern on behalf of their constituents. And the vast majority of them will be committed to do just that,” Reeves said. “And so I don’t anticipate there being any change in the dynamics in the Senate.” Reeves was among many big-name Republicans who quickly threw their support to Cochran when the senator announced in early December that he’s running again. Cochran revealed his plans the day before his 76th birthday, and said he intends to serve the full six years if re-elected. He served three two-year terms in the U.S. House before

winning one of the state’s two Senate seats in 1978. As a longtime leader of the Appropriations Committee, he has steered billions of dollars to his home state over the years. Many Democrats relish the thought of a bruising Republican primary. State GOP chairman Joe Nosef called for party unity in an email this past week. “Having robust disagreements on policy, politics, and even candidates is unavoidable at a time when we have more Republicans in office than ever before,” Nosef wrote. “It is critical, however, that we make sure our energy and resources are focused on defeating our liberal Democrat opponents, rather than on attacking each other. If not, we risk helping our opponents and hurting our cause.” He added: “Winning elections is how we are able to ensure our priorities and policies actually have a chance to get implemented.” Daily Corinthian columnist Emily Wagster Pettus is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.

A vicious circle NEW YORK CITY – If you can imagine a place today that would extend credit to struggling but brilliant journalists, novelists and theater people, where, say, Donna Tart and Jon Stewart and Tina Brown might convene daily for lunch and drinks, then there might be a contemporary equivalent of The Algonquin Round Table. I cannot imagine. The world has turned. Famous writers and actors don’t need credit. Hotels don’t extend it. Actors worry over their portfolios. Writers hire personal trainers. Everyone rushes home to water his ferns. But I love to visit the elegant Algonquin Hotel on West 44th Street and stare at the portrait of a dozen of this country’s most celebrated wits and pretend that such a hard-drinking, take-no-prisoners convention might still be possible. I’d gladly buy a ticket. First of all, it wasn’t exactly a round table but two tables pushed together. After the first World War,

a few doors away from Vanity Fair magazine where they all worked, writers Dorothy Rheta Parker, RobJohnson ert Benchley and Robert Columnist Sherwood ate lunch almost every day in the Algonquin Hotel. They were the core of a group of 20-somethings in the Roaring ‘20s who enjoyed free celery and popovers, their own table and waiter and, most importantly, the company of one another. They quickly attracted other members you’ve heard of, including Alexander Woollcott, Edna Ferber, Franklin P. Adams, George S. Kaufman, Heywood Broun and Marc Connelly. They were critics, most of them, sometimes quite vicious, often of each other. Their strong opinions and ideas often found their way to print – print being their

business – and influenced other writers, like Fitzgerald and Hemingway. Harold Ross was a friend of the Round Table, and at this hotel he secured funding for The New Yorker magazine, which made its debut in 1925. Algonquin guests still get a free copy upon arrival. How did such a beehive start its buzz? Algonquin owner Frank Case began it all with his friendliness toward actors and writers. Some of his favorites even drank on the house. He attracted personalities like Douglas Fairbanks Sr., John Barrymore and H.L. Mencken. And he welcomed women. Gertrude Stein, Marian Anderson, Simone de Beauvoir, Helen Hayes and Eudora Welty all eventually made the scene. Three Nobel laureates visited on a regular basis, including William Faulkner, who is said to have drafted his famous Nobel Prize acceptance speech at the hotel in 1950.

I envy those dozen or so writers their 10 years of banter and booze, their daily breaks from the most solitary task in the world. I would love to have been a coaster beneath a chair leg when Dorothy Parker said something like: “If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.” Writers still stay at the Algonquin, of course, make pilgrimages to this Holy Land of wit and wicked humor. And with a squint, a drink and a strong imagination, one can return to the days of glory when there was romance to the sport of writing and camaraderie within its ranks. Or, as Dorothy Parker wrote: “If I didn’t care for fun and such/I’d probably amount to much./But I shall stay the way I am/Because I do not give a damn.” To find out more about Daily Corinthian columnist Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www. rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.

Brain dead girl moved from hospital OAKLAND, Calif. — Acting with a court order, the family of a 13-year-old California girl declared brain dead after a tonsillectomy has had her taken from a California hospital to be cared for elsewhere, the family’s attorney says. Jahi McMath was moved by a critical care team while attached to a ventilator but without a feeding tube, Christopher Dolan told The Associated Press. She left from Children’s Hospital of Oakland in a private ambulance shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday, Dolan said. Her destination was not immediately disclosed. “It was a very tense situation,� said Dolan. “Everybody played by the rules.� David Durand, the hospital’s Chief of Pediatrics, said the girl was released to the coroner. The coroner then released her into the custody of her mother, Nailah Winkfield, as per court order, Durand said in an email. On Friday Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo said Jahi could be transferred under an agreement with Children’s Hospital and the girl’s mother will be held accountable for developments that could include Jahi going into cardiac arrest. The Alameda County coroner’s office issued a death certificate for the girl Friday but said

the document is incomplete because no cause of death has been determined pending an autopsy. Â

1 killed, 2 injured in airplane crash DENVER — A fiery plane crash at the Aspen airport Sunday afternoon killed one person and injured two others, one severely, Colorado authorities said. Officials said the flight to the wealthy mountain refuge originated in Mexico and all three aboard were pilots and Mexican men. Alex Burchetta, director of operations for the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office, identified the man who died as Sergio Carranza Brabata of Mexico. He did not release the names of the two injured, and he did not know where in Mexico the 54-year-old Brabata lived. Burchetta said the plane went off the right side of the runway, flipped over and burst into flames. “The injuries were traumatic in nature, but they were not thermal,� he said. “So the fire never reached inside the cabin as far as we can tell.� Ginny Dyche, a spokeswoman for Aspen Valley Hospital, said the facility received two patients who were involved in the crash. She later said one patient in fair condition and another in critical condition were transferred elsewhere. Peter Knudson, a spokesman for the Na-

tional Transportation Safety Board, confirmed the plane was a Canadair CL-600, a midsized private jet. The aircraft is registered to the Bank of Utah in Salt Lake City, according to Federal Aviation Administration records. Allen Kenitzer, an FAA spokesman, said the plane was headed from Tucson, Ariz., and crashed upon landing. Officials said the crash happened at 12:22 p.m. MST. A plane with the same tail number took off at 6 a.m. MST from the airport in Toluca, a city 35 miles west of Mexico City, before stopping in Tucson, according to a Mexican federal official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. The official said the passengers aboard were three Mexican men. He declined to release their names, citing security reasons. Â

Ban on conjugal visits resisted JACKSON — A Memphis-based civil rights group and a Mississippi prisoners’ advocacy group will lead a rally in Jackson against Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps’ decision to end conjugal visits for state inmates. Last month, Epps announced he would early this year stop the more than a century-old practice of allowing conjugal visits for inmates. Epps’ decision came after a state legislator said he was going to reintroduce a bill this legislative session to end conjugal visits. The Clarion-Ledger reports the Mississippi Advocates for Prisoners group is also opposed to Epps’ decision and has started a petition drive. MAP is encouraging family members and other supporters to come out for the rally, which will be on Jan. 17. Mississippi Advocates for Prisoners Director Kelly Muscolino said conjugal visits are not just for sex. “They allow inmates to build a bond with their loved ones, provide them with an outlet for emotion, and build confidence in knowing that they are not forgotten and that they are loved,� Muscolino said. Mississippi is now one of only six states to allow conjugal visits, and the practice is forbidden in federal prisons. Epps said Friday in a statement his decision

High school rape convict released CINCINNATI — A former eastern Ohio high school football player has been released from a juvenile detention center less than a year after his conviction for raping a 16-year-old girl following an alcoholfueled party.

to end conjugal visits stands. “Conjugal visits will not be allowed as of Feb. 1,â€? Epps said. “There are costs associated with the staff’s time, having to escort inmates to and from the location, supervising personal hygiene and the upkeep of the building. In addition to the budgetary reasons, even though we provide contraception, women get pregnant and have to raise the child as a single parent.â€? The practice of conjugal visits in Mississippi has never been adopted by law, and a written policy wasn’t created until the 1980s. Â

State gives money for disposal program COFFEEVILLE — Yalobusha County’s waste tire collection and disposal program will operate in 2014 with extra money provided through a state grant.

WTVA-TV reports the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality awarded the county a grant of about $56,000 to continue the program. The grant money comes from the state’s waste tire account which is funded by a fee charged on the wholesale sale of new motor vehicle tires sold in the state. Â

Nurse sentenced in clinic fraud case JACKSON — A woman was sentenced on Monday to house arrest and probation for failing to report a crime at a Mississippi cancer clinic that was shut down over unsafe practices and accused of a multimilliondollar fraud.

Marines delay female fitness plan after dismal physicals BY PAULINE JELINEK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — More than half of female Marines in boot camp can’t do three pullups, the minimum standard that was supposed to take effect with the new year, prompting the Marine Corps to delay the requirement, part of the process of equalizing physical standards to integrate women into combat jobs. The delay rekindled sharp debate in the military on the question of whether women have the physical strength for some military jobs, as service branches move toward opening thousands of combat roles to them in 2016. Although no new timetable has been set on the delayed physical requirement, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos wants training officials to “continue to gather data and ensure that female Marines are provided with the best opportunity to succeed,” Capt. Maureen Krebs, a Marine spokeswoman, said Thursday. Starting with the new year, all female Marines were supposed to be able to do at least three pullups on their annual physical fitness test and eight for a perfect score. The requirement was tested in 2013 on female recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C., but only 45 percent of women met the minimum, Krebs said. The Marines had hoped to institute the pullups on the belief that pullups require the muscular strength necessary

to perform common military tasks such as scaling a wall, climbing up a rope or lifting and carrying heavy munitions. Officials felt there wasn’t a medical risk to putting the new standard into effect as planned across the service, but that the risk of losing recruits and hurting retention of women already in the service was unacceptably high, she said. Because the change is being put off, women will be able to choose which test of upper-body strength they will be graded on in their annual physical fitness test. Their choices: —Pullups, with three the minimum. Three is also the minimum for male Marines, but they need 20 for a perfect rating. —A flexed-arm hang. The minimum is for 15 seconds; women get a perfect score if they last for 70 seconds. Men don’t do the hang in their test. Officials said training for pullups can change a person’s strength, while training for the flex-arm hang does little to adapt muscular strength needed for military tasks The delay on the standard could be another wrinkle in the plan to begin allowing women to serve in jobs previously closed to them such as infantry, armor and artillery units. The decision to suspend the scheduled pullup requirement “is a clear indication” that plans to move women into direct ground combat fighting teams will not work, said Elaine Donnelly, president of the conserva-

tive Center for Military Readiness and a critic of allowing women into infantry jobs. “When officials claim that men and women are being trained the same, they are referring to bare minimums, not maximum qualifications that most men can meet but women cannot,” Donnelly wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Awarding gender-normed scores so that women can succeed lowers standards for all. Women will suffer more injuries and resentment they do not deserve, and men will be less prepared for the demands of direct ground combat.” The military services are working to figure out how to move women into newly opened jobs and have been devising updated physical standards, training, education and other programs for thousands of jobs they must open Jan. 1, 2016, said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nathan Christensen, a Defense Department spokesman. They must open as many jobs to women as possible; if they decide to keep some closed, they must explain why. Military brass has said repeatedly that physical standards won’t be lowered to accommodate female applicants. Success for women in training for the upcoming openings has come in fits and starts. In fall 2012, only two female Marines volunteered for the 13-week infantry officers training course at Quantico, Va., and both failed to complete it. But the following fall, three Marines became

the first women to graduate from the Corps’ enlisted infantry training school in North Carolina. They completed the same test standards as the men in the course, which included a 12-mile march with an 80-pound pack and various combat fitness trials such as timed ammunition container lifts and tests that simulate running under combat fire. Officials had added specific training for female recruits when the pullup requirement was announced in December 2012, and they came up with a workout program for women already serving. Military testing for physical skill and stamina has changed over the decades with needs of the armed forces. Officials say the first recorded history of Marine Corps physical fitness tests, for example, was 1908 when President Theodore Roosevelt ordered that staff officers must ride horseback 90 miles and line officers walk 50 miles over a three-day period to pass. A test started in 1956 included chinups, pushups, broad jump, 50-yard duck waddle and running. The first test for women was started in 1969: A 120-yard shuttle run, vertical jump, knee pushups, 600-yard run/ walk and situps.

Best friend was tight with his money BY JIMMY REED Columnist

My boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, was tight with his money. He believed that the Lord watches how His children spend it. Once, when he scolded me for buying a useless toy, one that I would tire of quickly, he said, “You oughta be ashamed, boy. Don’t you know de Lawd gave you de ability to make money? Dat’s a gift! If you misuse dat gift by wasting yo’ money, which you earned the hard way — chopping cotton, you jes’ showing Him dat you

don’t ’preciate de gift, and He jes’ might take away yo’ ability to make money.” Chopping cotton … what a hard job. Jaybird was the straw boss on my father’s Mississippi Delta cotton farm, and, unless the weather was rainy, he’d have his work crew, myself included, in the field by sunup. Then, he’d assign everyone a row, some over a mile long, and say, “Awright, boys, start yo’ rows.” At first, I couldn’t keep up. After all, when Dad gave me to the old black man and instructed him

to teach me to work, I was only ten years old. For a while, Jaybird would stop chopping his row, get on mine, and help me catch up. But that didn’t last long. “You must tote yo’ own load in dis life,” he would often say. I soon learned to bend to the task, and keep up with the others. Hard work was all that my best friend had ever known, and he seemed to love it. Wasting a day in inertial sloth, like wasting money, was anathema to him. From the time his feet hit the ground until it was too dark to see, he

was determined to get the most out of every day. Jaybird often devised ways to make those long days go by faster. One way was to start on the side of a field where the rows were longest, and since few fields were rectangular, the rows began to get shorter at some point. When they did, Jaybird would say, “Boys, we gittin’ in de short rows” — a small note of optimism, but optimism nonetheless. To this day, while struggling through difficult tasks, I always say, “I’m getting in the short rows,” when I begin to see

the light at the end of the tunnel. So many of Jaybird’s teachings still motivate me. In reality, motivation was what he was all about. He wanted me to keep in mind always that motivation generates momentum, and momentum generates achievement and success. I teach that lesson to my college students. If I can motivate them to master the fundamentals — to learn that little things make big things happen — momentum galvanizes them. Then, they face and overcome the difficulties

of earning an education, and have a much better chance of succeeding as responsible, productive members of society. As I begin this new year, when I enter my classrooms, I’ll remind myself of what that beloved old master teacher always said: Start yo’ rows.

Subzero ‘polar vortex’ pushes frigid air across US BY RICK CALLAHAN AND STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Frigid, dense air swirled across much of the U.S. on Monday, forcing some cities and their residents into hibernation while others layered up and carried on despite a dangerous cold that broke decades-old records. Wind chill warnings stretched from Montana to Alabama. For a big chunk of the Midwest, the subzero temperatures moved in behind another winter wallop: more than a foot of snow and high winds that made traveling treacherous. Officials closed schools in cities including Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee and warned residents to stay indoors and avoid the frigid cold altogether. The forecast is extreme: Wind chills were expected to drop as low as negative 55 Monday night in International Falls, Minn., and rebound to minus 25 to minus 35 on Tuesday. Farther south, the wind chill is expected to hit negative 50 in Chicago

and minus 35 in Detroit. School systems and day cares shut down as a precaution from the Dakotas to Maryland. But whether residents chose to stay home or head outside appeared to have less to do with the mercury and more with conditioning. Emeric Dwyer of St. Paul wore only a London Fog trenchcoat and light scarf to protect himself from morning temperatures that got down to minus 20 in the Twin Cities. The 30-year-old was just glad his car started. “It made a grinding noise I never heard before. But it started and got us here. Not too much to complain about,” said Dwyer, who is originally from Duluth in the northern part of the state. “In Duluth it’s always cold,” he said. But it hasn’t been this cold for almost two decades in many parts of the country. The National Weather Service said the temperature sank to 16 degrees below zero at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, two degrees lower than the record for Jan. 6. Weekend

snowfall at the airport totaled more than 11 inches — the most since a February 2011 storm that shut down the city’s famed Lake Shore Drive. In Indiana, where many roads were rendered impassable because of snow and wind, authorities had a simple message: stay home. “I know the roads look clear, the sun’s out and it all looks nice,” Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard said Monday. “But it’s still minus 40 in wind chill — deadly temperatures. So we want to be very, very careful.” Ballard issued a travel ban for the city, making it illegal for anyone to drive except for emergencies or to seek shelter, until noon Monday. But he wants schools and businesses to remain closed another day until the worst of the severe cold passes. Much of Indiana was blanketed in about a foot of snow Sunday, and many of the state’s schools, businesses and municipal offices were closed Monday. Wind chills through Tuesday could reach 45 degrees

below zero, according to the National Weather Service. The Legislature postponed the opening day of its 2014 session, and the state appellate courts, including the Indiana Supreme Court, said they would be closed. Many other cities came to a virtual standstill. In St. Louis, where more than 10 inches of snow fell, the Gateway Arch, St. Louis Art Museum and St. Louis Zoo were part of the seemingly endless list of closed facilities. Shopping malls and movie theaters closed, too. Even Hidden Valley Ski Resort, the region’s only ski area, shut down. Further north, those more accustomed to extreme winter weather kept moving, even if just a bit slower than usual. Between a heater that barely works and the drafty windows that invite the cold air into his home, Jeffery Davis decided he’d be better off sitting in a downtown Chicago doughnut shop for three hours Monday until it was time to go to work. He threw on

two pairs of pants, two tshirts, “at least three jackets,” two hats, a pair of gloves, the “thickest socks you’d probably ever find” and boots, and trudged to the train stop in his South Side neighborhood that took him to within a few blocks of the library where he works. “I never remember it ever being this cold,” said Davis, 51. “I’m flabbergasted.” Elnur Toktombetov, a Chicago taxi driver, awoke at 2:30 a.m. Monday anticipating a busy day. By 3:25 a.m. he was on the road, armed with hot tea and doughnuts. An hour into his shift, his Toyota’s windows were still coated with ice on the inside. “People are really not comfortable with this weather,” Toktombetov said. “They’re really happy to catch the cab. And I notice they really tip well.” In downtown Chicago, a commuter train hit a “bumping post” as it pulled into a station, the second such accident of the day. Metra spokesman Michael Gillis said

six passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries Monday after the train hit the post at the end of a platform. A less serious incident occurred at the same station around 6:15 a.m., but no passengers were injured. Continuing a decadesold practice, Chicago Transit Authority was handing out fare cards to social service agencies to be distributed to the homeless so they could ride buses and trains to stay out of the cold. More than 40,000 homes and businesses in Indiana, 16,000 in Illinois and 2,000 in Missouri were without power early Monday. Indianapolis spokesman Marc Lotter said emergency crews accompanied about 350 people to shelters. Southern states were bracing for possible record temperatures too, with single-digit highs expected Tuesday in Georgia and Alabama. Temperatures plunged into the 20s early Monday in north Georgia, the frigid start of dangerously cold temperatures for the first part of the week.

Growing number of seniors caring for other seniors Associated Press

“Age can be an advantage,” he said, pointing to the common conversation points and life experience, including his own health troubles and aches and pains that can come with age. “We hit it off pretty well. Maybe I didn’t seem to be too much out of the ordinary.” Around the country, senior service agencies are seeing a burgeoning share of older workers. About one-third of Home Instead’s 65,000 caregivers are over 60. Visiting Angels, another in-home care provider, says about 30 percent of its workers are over 50. And at least one network, Seniors Helping Seniors, is built entirely on the model of hiring older caregivers. Like most occupations, some of the growth in older caregivers is driven by the overall aging of the population and the trend of people working later in life. But with incredibly high rates of turnover and

a constant need for more workers, home care agencies have also shown a willingness to hire older people new to the field who have found a tough job market as they try to supplement their retirement income. The jobs are among the fastest-growing positions in the U.S., but are also notoriously physically demanding, with low pay and high rates of injury. Manchess has had spinal surgery and says he’s especially careful when vacuuming. He’s not sure how many years he’ll be able to continue this work, and he acknowledges it can be tough. “Halfway through my shift, I’m a little weary myself,” he said. “It takes its toll.” Manchess had worked as an Air Force pilot, then in real estate, then as a school bus driver, before becoming a professional caregiver. As Gregoline contentedly nibbles on his ham sandwich, Manchess wraps up his shift, turn-

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Paul Gregoline lies in bed, awaiting the helper who will get him up, bathed and groomed. He is 92 years old, has Alzheimer’s disease and needs a hand with nearly every task the day brings. When the aide arrives, though, he doesn’t look so different from the client himself — bald and bespectacled. “Just a couple of old geezers,” jokes Warren Manchess, the 74-yearold caregiver. As demand for senior services provided by nurses’ aides, home health aides and other such workers grows with the aging of baby boomers, so are those professions’ employment of other seniors. The new face of America’s network of caregivers is increasingly wrinkled. Among the overall population of direct-care workers, 29 percent are projected to be 55 or older by 2018, up from 22 percent a decade earlier, according to an analysis by the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute, or PHI, a New York-based nonprofit advocating for workers caring for the country’s elderly and disabled. In some segments of the workforce, including personal and home care aides, those 55 and older are the largest single age demographic. “I think people are surprised that this workforce is as old as it is,” said Abby Marquand, a researcher at PHI. “There’s often people who have chronic disease themselves who

have to muster up the energy to perform these really physically taxing caregiving needs.” Manchess came out of retirement to work for Home Instead Senior Care after caring for his mother-in-law, who, too, had Alzheimer’s and whom he regarded as his hero. The experience, though taxing, inspired his new career. Three days a week, he arrives at Gregoline’s house, giving the retired electrician’s wife a needed break. He carefully shaves and dresses his client, prepares breakfast and lunch, cleans the house and quickly remedies any accidents. He does the laundry and swaddles Gregoline in a warm towel from the dryer, reads him the sports page to keep him updated on his beloved Bears and sometimes pulls out dominoes or puzzles to pass the time. Gregoline is rather sedate this afternoon, relaxing in his favorite chair while occasionally offering glimpses of his trademark wit. Asked if he remembered anything about the Army, he says: “It was a bitch!” Offered the chance to go outside, he responds: “No! I’ll freeze my ass off out there!” Describing an abrasive personality of long ago, he offers: “He followed me around like a bad conscience.” Manchess has worked for Gregoline for about a year, and the men are at ease around each other. Past aides to Gregoline have been in their 20s, but Manchess says he thinks his age is an asset.

ing reflective when considering his life’s careers. “I think this is about

as rewarding, if not more rewarding, than any of them,” he said.

A New New Year!

As we stand on the brink of another new year, let us think of the many opportunities and struggles it will provide. Let us think of those who will name the name of Christ in baptism, and let us work to help them make the most important decision of their lives. Let us think of those who will come back to the Lord, and let us pray for them and encourage them in every way for good. Let us think of those among us who will leave this world of sin and sorrow for the bright and sunny shores of eternity, where no sin or sorrow may be found, and let us learn from their godly examples. Let us also think of what we will use the new year for.. Will We Use It For Gaining A Better Knowledge of God’s Word? There are many good things for us to learn in life, but none begin to compare with the value of a knowledge of the blessed Word of God. It will go with us through all other educational endeavors, it will accompany us through our working years, it will be there for the birth and rearing of our children, it will be there for us in our sickness, even going with us to the grave, and it will stand as a witness to our faithfulness in the after awhile. May we determine to spend some time each day of this new year studying the Bible. May it be of greater importance to us than all other pursuits. Will We Use It To Mature Spiritually? Will we apply the things we are taught in the Bible to our lives and thereby set a better example before others? Will we be diligent in attendance, showing all the world that there is no place on earth we would rather be than in the assembly of the saints worshipping God. Will we put to practice what the Bible teaches? Will We Use It To Tell Someone Of Jesus Christ? Remember, our family, friends and neighbors are rushing headlong into judgment. Have we told them what God requires of them in order to be saved? We see them daily, and would probably do anything on earth for them, but have we told them how to get to heaven? Is it really so difficult and risky to speak a word in the interest of their souls (Prov. 11:30)? Yes, the ringing in of a brand new year is at hand; and with it the resolutions. Perhaps you have collected too much clutter. You have resolved to rid yourself of that unsettled feeling you experience when you enter your home. What will you do with the excess ... throw it away ... give it away ... have a yard sale? You may be feeling the same confusion in your life. Today’s world is a barrage of input that seems to clutter our very souls. How will you decide what is worth retaining? Ben Jonson, renowned seventeenth century dramatist, poet, and wit, advised, “Weigh the meaning and look not at the words.” We must prioritize this information. What is more important to know in order to live a useful, peaceful, and joyous life? God’s Word should be of utmost consideration when we establish these priorities, for our understanding of God’s Word sets the stage for our life. When we follow His advice, everything else falls into place. We know what is important and what is not. The result is a sense of peace and joy, even amid the confusion of life. In Romans 14:19 we read, “Let us then pursue what makes for peace...” Won’t you begin this year with worship in God’s House. It is the best resolution of them all. Welcome to Northside. Read your Bible.

Uneven rebound After years of declining prices, homeowners across the country are enjoying a seller’s market. A combination of steady job growth, rising-but-still-low mortgage interest rates and, in many markets, a limited inventory of homes, has driven prices steadily higher. Home prices climbed 12.5 percent in October from a year earlier, but remained about 17 percent below their April 2006 peak, according to real estate data provider CoreLogic. Although many metropolitan areas are benefiting from the economic and market factors driving home value gains, the degree to which homes prices are rebounding primarily hinges on how hard the market was hit in the downturn.

When the housing market collapsed, markets such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego didn’t see their home values decline as much as foreclosure hotbeds, such as the California metropolitan areas of Sacramento and Riverside, or Las Vegas. As a result, the markets that didn't fall as sharply haven’t rebounded as strongly this past year, says Jed Kolko, chief economist at real estate data analysis firm Trulia. “The severity of the housing bust is much more important than recent job growth in explaining why some markets rebounded this year,” Kolko says. “As prices normalize, though, local job growth should drive home price gains more.”

Home values Some of the markets hit hardest during the foreclosure crisis that hit in 2008 posted big gains in home values in 2013. Top 5 markets

Deficit watch

Trade (goods and services)

Back in the black?

The Commerce Department reports today its tally of the nation’s trade gap for November. The trade deficit shrank in October to $40.6 billion. The nation’s energy boom helped lift overall exports to an all-time high of $192.7 billion. Economists project that the trade gap narrowed in November. A smaller trade deficit can boost economic growth.

In billions of dollars

Many chipmakers are struggling as consumer demand has shifted away from PCs and toward smartphones and tablets. Micron Technology has benefited from prices for memory chips and the acquisition last summer of mobile phone and tablet memory maker Elipida Memory. Wall Street expects that Micron will turn a profit in its first fiscal quarter, bouncing back from a loss in the same period a year ago. Results are due out today.

Different ways to end difficult friendship

DILBERT

PICKLES

Annie’s Mailbox maintain this one, although it means you would not be around to show her son what a stable person looks like. You also could slowly make yourself less available to Agnes so there is no confrontation at all while the relationship withers. But a true friend would tell Agnes gently and kindly that you are worried about her. In turn, Agnes, while not pleased, would accept your concern and not cut you out of her son’s life. Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for two years, and we have been together for 16. This is my third marriage and his second. He is 61, and I am 58. I work out of the home, and he is now semi-retired. I would appreciate some help with cooking or cleaning, but he always says I wouldn’t be happy with the way he does it. I’ve told him this is a copout. I honestly do not care how well he does, only that there is effort and validation of my feelings. I’m exasperated. We get along great otherwise, but he is such a horse’s butt about this. Just yesterday, he made himself a sandwich for dinner and never even asked whether I wanted anything. He doesn’t pressure me to cook. I do

it because I know he likes to have dinner and I enjoy cooking. But I would certainly never eat in front of him and not offer something. Am I being overly sensitive? Is it too much to ask for help with cleaning and cooking or to have my feelings taken seriously? -- Hurt and Exasperated Dear Hurt: We think your husband is a little lazy and has been trained to be waited on. He needs to step up and be more of a full partner. Separate the household chores and assign specific tasks for each of you. If you enjoy cooking, you could do more of that, and he could do more cleaning. Ask what he’d prefer. If he doesn’t follow through, do NOT pick up after him. Or, if you can afford it, hire someone. Dear Annie: “Ms. Bit” said she was having trouble reaching certain body parts to clean them. I suggest she upgrade her toilet to a bidet toilet that provides a warm water bath and a drying fan for the parts in question. My elderly parents had one installed years ago, and it served them well. -- A Fan of Being Clean Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: When I was a freshman in high school, I became friends with “Agnes,” who was (like me) something of a social outcast. Agnes still considers me to be her best friend. That was 10 years ago. We have both grown up to be very different people. I am repelled by Agnes’ lifestyle of promiscuity and high-risk behaviors. Although she is free with praise and is loyal in an odd sort of way, she is incredibly narcissistic and often condescending. Add to that a volatile and sometimes violent temper, and she is a person I no longer want in my life. Still, we have a history. When she says I am “the only one who has stuck with her,” I feel a responsibility to maintain the friendship. I am also fond of her 5-year-old son. I don’t want to be dishonest by pretending that her decisions, her manner and her lifestyle don’t bother me. It seems dishonorable. But if I tell her any of this, I know it will lead to a nasty confrontation. The truth about my feelings would crush her. She considers friendship and loyalty to be sacred and would take my disapproval as a betrayal of her trust. Should I tell her the truth for my sake or continue the deception for hers? -- Conflicted Dear Conflicted: It depends on what you want. If your goal is not to see Agnes anymore, go ahead and let loose. People outgrow friendships all the time. You don’t have to

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Alcorn County Tournament gets underway for the 10th straight year at the Crossroads Arena on Thursday.

Couple wonders if parenting is worth it second time around DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are happily married and will celebrate 15 years of marriage next year. We have a 5-year-old daughter. Our dilemma is whether or not we should have another child. I’m 38 and my husband is 40. We have become comfortable with the fact that our daughter is getting more independent. We plan on doing a lot of traveling, and I will change jobs after I complete school. We are not sure about starting over with a baby. We are doing OK financially, and if we have a second child, it would have to be within the next year, while I finish my classes and can be home to be with the baby. Our daughter is well-adjusted, and we plan on putting her in activities such as dance and gymnastics. We would like your opinion, and also to hear from parents who had only one child, as well as people who were raised without a sibling. – MAYBE ONLY ONE IN GEORGIA DEAR MAYBE ONLY ONE: If you are considering enlarging your family only so your daughter will have a sibling, I don’t recommend it. What the six-year age difference means is that your children will not grow up “together.” By the time the younger one is starting high school, the older one will be in college and gone.

Even when they are closer in age, it’s no guarantee that siblings will be close. I cannot – and should Abigail not – decide for you. I Van Buren this am throwing your quesDear Abby tion open to my readers and will share their opinions with you. However, I’m sure they will be varied. DEAR ABBY: I am generally a conservative person. My 17-year-old son, “Leo,” asked for an ear piercing when he was 13. I wasn’t sure whether I liked the kind of impression it made, but because it was only one piercing, I agreed on the condition that he would stop at one hole. When Leo was 15, he begged to have dreadlocks. Thinking it was a phase, I allowed it even though I wasn’t thrilled. He has since cut off the dreads, but now says he wants an eyebrow piercing. My son is a loving, wonderful, happy kid. He’s active in school, well-liked, and an excellent student in an advanced academic program. I couldn’t honestly think of a good reason to say no, even though this piercing freaks

me out. I sense that Leo wants to do more piercings, but he’s respectful enough to wait awhile. My question is, what is a good reason to NOT agree to more piercings? Every argument I’ve thought of -- unsightly, unsanitary, makes the wrong impression – is rather thin. My 12-year-old daughter wants to dye her hair purple. I’m saying no, but still have no good reason for that, either. Am I just too old-fashioned? – NOTWITH-IT MOM IN MACCABIM, ISRAEL DEAR NOT-WITH-IT MOM: Tell your son he was born with a perfect body. When you agreed to the ear piercing, it was on the condition that there would be only one piercing, and you expect him to keep his part of the bargain. If he asks for a further explanation, tell him it’s because he has enough holes in his head. As to your daughter, remember it’s only hair and it will grow out. If this is her only form of rebellion, consider yourself lucky. As to your being “too old-fashioned,” it’s a mother’s JOB to be old-fashioned. Keep up the good work.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you see it every day, it’s not strange -- and if it’s not strange, then it can’t be beautiful. This is why updating your style or changing the way you relate to people will be worth the effort and expense. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A messy room and an organized mind seldom go together, though the untidy person in your life will claim they do. Use negative examples as inspiration to get your own room/act/ head together. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you accused someone close to you of being out of touch with what you need, you would be right. But what good would that do? Instead, don’t make anyone guess. Say what you need. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are the people who say, “What can I do to help?” and there are the people who just get in there and help. The problem is pretty obvious now, so join the latter category. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When the conversation gets

awkward or boring, you will be aware enough to change the subject. You don’t think of this as a talent, but you should. Your astute socializing will save the day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Of all the things you compare, comparing yourself to another person is the most unfair. You know all of your flaws and shortcomings; whereas, they are doing their best to mask theirs. Focus exclusively on being your best you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Go down the list of your many blessings, and remind yourself that your life right now is pretty great. If you don’t appreciate your assets, it’s impossible to present them in such a way that others will. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be meeting new people. The tone you set will be a starting place. If you start out too seriously, people will be frightened of what’s next. That’s why it’s best to keep things light while making a first impression.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To manage the full range of your emotions, you must first embrace the full range of your emotions. Losing your temper doesn’t always mean you lose the situation. Some effectively use temper outbursts as a tactic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Change occurs because you focus all of your energy on building a new way of doing things. You don’t have to waste time tearing the old way down. It will crumble on its own. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If it is at all possible to lower your defenses while raising your standards, you’ll do it. You have excellent taste, and what’s even better is that you don’t feel like you have to constantly prove that to people. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you do it first, you’re the leader. Those who merely instruct others to do it first may have the title of “leader,” but the one who will be respected and followed is the one who did it first.

Florida’s Powell leaves school early for NFL draft Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida linebacker Ronald Powell is leaving school early and entering the NFL draft. Powell, a 6-foot-4, 244-pound junior from Moreno Valley, Calif., was the nation’s top high school recruit in 2010. He missed the entire 2012 season after twice tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He returned to play in 11 games last season, leading the team with four sacks. He finished his college career with 84 tackles and 11 sacks. Coach Will Muschamp says “it’s been well documented the hardships he has had to overcome and he has always kept a positive attitude.” Powell is the third Florida player to leave school early, joining cornerbacks Loucheiz Purifoy and Marcus Roberson. Defensive tackle Dominique Easley, who could have returned for another season, also turned pro.

Arkansas DE Flowers to return for senior season BY KURT VOIGT AP Sports Writer

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Bret Bielema put together one of his best recruiting pitches while trying to convince Arkansas defensive end Trey Flowers to return for his senior season. Bielema’s efforts paid off when Flowers announced on Monday that he will return for his final season with the Razorbacks. The 6-foot-4, 243-pound Flowers, who led the Razorbacks with 13.5 tackles for losses last season, says he received a third-round grade from the NFL’s draft advisory committee. However, the Alabama native hopes to improve on that grade a year from now and Arkansas rebound from a 3-9 record in Bielema’s first season. “I just have faith in this team,” Flowers said. “I’ve got faith in, you know, what the coaches are trying to build, and I feel like we’ve got a lot of guys on this team with a lot of talent and a lot of guys that’s hungry to make it happen.” Flowers was a second-team AllSoutheastern Conference selection last season, finishing with 44 tackles, five sacks and three forced fumbles. He’s appeared in 36 games, making 26 starts in three seasons. Bielema said he met with Flowers and his parents as far back as last spring to discuss his draft prospects, and he said the conversations Please see FLOWERS | 13

Vols entering SEC opener on hot streak BY STEVE MEGARGEE AP Sports Writer

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —Tennessee may be starting its customary late-season surge a little earlier than usual. The Volunteers (9-4) carry a three-game winning streak into Tuesday’s Southeastern Conference opener at LSU (9-3). Now the Vols need to prove they can win on the road, which has been a problem lately. “We’re playing good on both sides of the ball,” said Tennessee guard Jordan McRae, the reigning SEC player of the week. “That’s just us trusting each other, moving the ball, making extra passes and things like that.” Tennessee expects to have freshman guard Robert Hubbs III back after an injured left shoulder caused

him to miss a 98-51 victory over Tusculum on Saturday. Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin said Hubbs practiced Sunday and should play Tuesday. The Vols are 35-9 at home and 7-17 in true road games during Martin’s three-year coaching tenure, though they won four of their final five SEC road games last season. In the Vols’ only two true road games this season, they fell 67-63 at Xavier and 70-61 to No. 6 Wichita State, which was ranked 12th at the time of their Dec. 14 meeting. “I talk to the guys all the time (that) it’s just a different building, that’s all,” Martin said. “The rims, the court, everything’s still the same. It’s just a different building. Our approach doesn’t change.” Tennessee’s had a habit of

slow starts and fast finishes. The Vols started 8-10 and ended up 19-15 in 2011-12. They finished 20-13 after an 11-10 start last season. They won only six of their first 10 games this year and held a team meeting after a 65-58 loss to North Carolina State. The Vols haven’t lost since. “The meeting was more or less for us to tell each other how we felt about things,” McRae said. “Players hearing things from coaches is one thing. If you can have one of your teammates say, ‘Jordan, you need to do this better,’ ‘Jordan, you need to do that better,’ and you have the whole team there, I think it helps you out as a player, hearing it from one of your friends, one of the people you’re with all the time. I just think it was just us holding

each other accountable.” Tennessee has shot 50 percent or better in each of its last three games and now faces an LSU team that leads the SEC in field-goal percentage defense (.375). The Tigers are coming off a 74-70 home loss to Rhode Island. “We can’t come out flat like we did,” LSU guard Anthony Hickey said after the Rhode Island game. “If we come out flat, we will get beat every time. It catches up with you at the end of the game. It is all about starting early and taking care of business early.” Tennessee could be benefiting from a change in Martin’s approach. Martin said he generally hasn’t been big on statistical analysis because he’s “alPlease see VOLS | 13

These days, there’s no doubting Missouri BY R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri needs replacements at quarterback and for its pass rush. After matching the school record with 12 wins capped by a Cotton Bowl triumph, nobody doubts coach Gary Pinkel is up for the task. The move to the SEC stopped looking like a mistake several months ago. Now, Missouri is a program to be reckoned with, even though there’ll be seven new starters on defense next fall and many of the top contributors on offense won’t be back, either. After matching the school record for victories set in 2007, the Tigers (12-2) appear to have the depth to reload without the likes of James Franklin, all-American Michael Sam and Kony Ealy. “These guys came out, came back in January, they just kind of reset the standards for who we are, what we’re about,” Pinkel said. The debut SEC season in

2012 was an injury-plagued, 5-7 downer, prompting speculation about Pinkel’s future and the school’s readiness for the country’s top football conference. Missouri was picked to finish sixth in the SEC East. The East champions impressed from the start, home and away, with a 7-0 start. The SEC championship game loss to Auburn was the only real stumble. A total of 20 players on the two-deep roster for the Cotton Bowl have at least two years of eligibility remaining. That’ll help compensate for the loss of a handful of likely NFL draft picks led by Ealy in the first round, with cornerback E.J. Gaines and offensive tackle Justin Britt projected to go later on. Redshirt freshman Maty Mauk produced three victories while Franklin was injured and had a nice cameo against Oklahoma State, too, throwing a touchdown pass. He finished with 11 TD passes and a better passer rating than Franklin and enters

spring practice as the clear favorite for the job ahead of freshman Eddie Printz. Tailback is in capable hands with Russell Hansbrough and Marcus Murphy if Henry Josey decides to enter his name in the NFL draft after a huge comeback season. “There’s not always one guy you can count on,” Josey said. “You can count on everyone.” Josey will consult with Pinkel and his grandmother, who raised him since infancy but couldn’t attend the bowl game due to flu-like symptoms. Ealy is projected as a mid- to late first-round pick by many mock drafts after going “from boy to man” at Missouri, but there aren’t any running backs who figure to go early. Josey was all-Big 12 in 2011 but was off the field nearly two years after wrecking his left knee. Now he’s just the second player in school history with a pair of 1,000-yard seasons, joining fellow Cotton Bowl standout Tony Temple. “Remarkably, he’s a better

player now,” Pinkel said. Shane Ray, whose 73-yard fumble return was the Cotton Bowl clincher, is among the defensive linemen returning along with Markus Golden and redshirt freshman Harold Brantley. Sophomore Kentrell Brothers was the only linebacker to start every game and both specialists return. Ray fed on Oklahoma State bulletin-board material prompted by Missouri’s defensive collapse against Auburn. “They’re just going to go back to the drawing board and think about who they talk to next time,” Ray said. “To say our linebackers were just above average, our defensive line was just pass rushers — we felt total disrespected from that.” Dorial Green-Beckham leads a strong returning crew at wide receiver. The Tigers have another tough schedule next fall, with Please see MISSOURI | 13

Charlie Strong promises Texas will be tough BY JIM VERTUNO AP Sports Writer

AUSTIN, Texas — Charlie Strong talked about being tough and winning championships. That is exactly what Texas fans wanted to hear from their new football coach. There’s little doubt he can deliver the first. The second part will determine whether he can revive a dormant program back and push it back among the national elite where the Longhorns are desperately longing to be. “It’s time to put the program back on the national stage,” Strong said Monday at his introductory news conference. “The mentality is always going to be mental and physical toughness ... We will be a hardnosed football team.” That’s the reputation Strong brings to Texas, which has floundered since playing for the 2009 national championship. Four seasons of at least

four losses and no Big 12 titles ended with Mack Brown exiting after 16 years, and Texas turning to the coach who led Louisville to a 23-3 mark and two bowl wins the last two seasons. Strong also had a reputation of being uncomfortable with the media, but with his wife and two daughters sitting in the front row watching him, he breezed through his 45-minute news conference with smiles and jokes before ending with the trademark “Hook’em Horns” hand signal for the cameras. “Let’s go win football games,” Strong said. “Let’s go win championships.” The 53-year-old Strong clearly has some of the same pages from Brown’s playbook. He embraced the legacy of Texas’s football tradition when he entered the room and hugged Edith Royal, the widow of former Longhorns

coach Darrell Royal who won national titles in 1963 and 1969 and a share of a third in 1970. And just like Brown did when he arrived in 1997, Strong made a point of embracing Texas high school coaches and his commitment to recruiting the state’s best players. “We will recruit with fire, recruit with passion,” Strong said, adding he wants to “close the border” to out-of-state programs. Brown, whose last game was Texas’ loss to Oregon in the Holiday Bowl, did not attend the news conference. Strong said he spoke to Brown over the weekend and assured him he would be welcome around the program. But he also told Brown: “You ran your program, I have to run mine.” Strong said Brown left the program in good shape, even

if it hasn’t won in recent years like Texas expects to. The Longhorns last won the Big 12 in 2009. Their last national championship was in 2005. “The bricks are there,” Strong said. “I just need to put another brick on top of it.” Although his contract must still be approved by the school’s board of regents, Strong was offered a five-year contract with an annual salary of about $5 million. Strong dismissed suggestions that Texas may have courted other coaches before offering him the job. “I could have been the 15th choice,” Strong said. “And I’m still so happy to be the coach here.” Strong also acknowledged this historical significance behind him taking the job: He is the first African-American head coach of a men’s sport at Please see STRONG | 13

Sherman fired; new play-caller for Dolphins in 2014 BY STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — A punchless offense in the final two games kept the Miami Dolphins out of the postseason, and they’ll have a new play-caller in 2014. Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman was fired Monday, the first change by the team since the holiday collapse. Coach Joe Philbin defended Sherman the day after the season, but owner Stephen Ross was expected to demand some sort of shake-up following the dismal finish. Sherman joined the Dolphins when Philbin was hired two years ago, and the two have been close for more than 30 years. But this season Sherman’s unit ranked 27th in the NFL in yards, allowed a franchise-record 58 sacks and

scored once in its final 24 possessions. The Dolphins (8-8) would have made the playoffs if they had won one of their final two games against the Bills and Jets. Instead, they were beaten by a combined score of 39-7. Other changes in Philbin’s staff are possible, and offensive line coach Jim Turner’s status remains in doubt. The line was the focus of a bullying scandal that mushroomed at midseason and left the Dolphins without two starters, and the NFL has yet to release a report on its investigation into the case. Philbin thanked Sherman for his contributions in a brief statement announcing the firing. “Mike has been a mentor to me throughout my coaching

career, dating back to 1979,” Philbin said. “He is a man of great integrity, dedicated to his family, his team, his players and his profession. On behalf of the entire Miami Dolphins organization I want to wish Mike and his family the very best in the future.” Sherman has a six-year relationship with quarterback Ryan Tannehill dating to their days at Texas A&M, where Sherman was Tannehill’s head coach. Tannehill won the Dolphins’ starting job in training camp as a rookie in 2012 and showed considerable progress this year until the final two games, when he played poorly. “Coach Sherman and I have a great relationship,” Tannehill said in a statement released by the Dolphins. “He

has made significant contributions to the Dolphin organization, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to play for him for the last six years. I learned so much about football and life in that time, and for that I am forever grateful.” While Tannehill threw for 3,913 yards and 24 scores this season, Sherman’s playcalling came into question because of the team’s pass-run imbalance. Miami passed the ball 65 percent of the time, third-highest in the NFL, and had games where they rushed for 2, 14, 20 and 22 yards. The Dolphins have missed the playoffs five years in a row and haven’t won a postseason game since 2000. Philbin is 15-17 in his first head-coaching job.

Texas. “People look at it lot as me being a minority. I’m a football coach,” Strong said. “This is a historical day. There’s always going to be a first somewhere.” Strong did not want to

reveal which assistants he planned to bring from Louisville or who else he would hire from for his staff. Strong said he doesn’t feel any special pressure taking over a program that boasts the nation’s wealthiest athletic department,

its own television network and annual expectations of winning conference and national championships. While Strong spoke, the football stadium’s giant scoreboard displayed a huge picture of Strong cheering with a clenched fist raised in the air, a shot

from his Louisville days with his Cardinals red shirt now tinted burnt orange. “When you’re not prepared, yeah, there’s pressure,” Strong said. “If you surround yourself with the right people, it’s not pressure.”

Baylor, plus Toledo was a handful last season and opening opponent South Dakota State was in the FCS playoffs. The 61-year-old Pinkel is 102-63 in 13 seasons at Missouri, passing legendary Don Faurot for

first on the school’s career win list at the Cotton Bowl. “I want to continue to build a program,” Pinkel said. “We’ve got great challenges ahead of us. It’s a gauntlet schedule, but I’m very honored,

very honored to be the winningest coach in Missouri history.” The fire is still there. “When you win ’em, it’s great,” Pinkel said. “When you lose ’em, it just tears your guts out as a competitor.”

that we’re dealing with.” Arkansas is still without a defensive line coach after Charlie Patridge left last month to behind the head coach at Florida Atlantic. Bielema said it could be next week before a new coach is named, and Flowers said the loss of his position coach was a concern while deciding whether to return or not. “It crossed my mind,

but you know in high school I had like four different coaches in all my four years,” Flowers said. “So, adapting to a different scheme, a different style of coaching, is just something to learn. ... I feel like it’s an advantage on me, because even if I did go to the (NFL), or when I go to the league next year, I’ll have to adapt.”

I’ve spent a lot of hours and time on statistics and numbers and lineups,” Martin said. “I’ve never been a guy that’s really focused on (stats) outside

of the basics, but just the lineups that we have in the game, who’s playing well together, sometimes those numbers are correct.”

Falcons’ owner Blank supports Atlanta coach, GM BY GEORGE HENRY Associated Press

ATLANTA — Falcons owner Arthur Blank fully supports coach Mike Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff and believes they’ll lead his team back to the playoffs in 2014. In his first public comments since Atlanta ended a 4-12 season, Blank said Monday that despite a major collapse in 2013, Smith and Dimitroff have earned the right to change the team’s fortunes next season. “If I felt for any version of a New York minute that we didn’t have the right leadership and ability to make that happen in 2014, we would make additional

changes,” Blank said. “I don’t think those changes are necessary because I think we do have ability, but that goal and that desire is my standard.” Blank, the team’s owner since 2002, believes the Falcons could be on the cusp of a major turnaround. He compared Atlanta’s six-year record under Smith and Dimitroff as favorable to the NFL’s upper echelon teams. Only New England, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Green Bay and New Orleans have had better records over the last six seasons. The Falcons, who are tied with Indianapolis for a 60-36 regular season mark, are the only club not to reach the Super Bowl.
